Fiber Optical Duplex Cable InLine LC/LC 50/125µm OM3 0.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM3 0.5m is a short, duplex multimode fiber patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems and equipment interconnects. Featuring LC connectors on both ends and a 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry with OM3 modal bandwidth, this 0.5 meter cable supports reliable full-duplex links between transceivers, switches, patch panels and active network devices where multimode fiber is specified.

Advantages

This LC/LC duplex cable provides low insertion loss and consistent optical performance across short multimode links, with OM3 graded modal bandwidth optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed multimode applications. The compact LC connectors allow high density port arrangements and the duplex configuration ensures correct polarity for bidirectional communication. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess slack in racks and panels and helps maintain tidy cable management.

Suitable for

• Short multimode links between network switches, routers and optical transceivers
• Connections from patch panels to equipment in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed 10G Ethernet links where OM3 multimode fiber is used
• Laboratory or test-bench cabling and direct device-to-device fiber connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode (50/125 µm)
• OM grade: OM3 (laser-optimized multimode)
• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Polarity: Duplex (paired) for full-duplex communication
• Length: 0.5 meter
• Cable jacket: Multimode patch cable jacket suitable for indoor installations

How to use

Ensure both ends of the LC/LC cable are free of dust or debris before connecting; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC adapter or port until it clicks into place, observing proper polarity for transmit and receive pairs. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fiber. Route the cable with gentle bends above the minimum bend radius and secure it using standard cable management to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM3 LC/LC 50/125µm cable for short indoor multimode connections where 10 Gigabit performance is required. Avoid sharp bends and keep connectors capped when not in use. For longer runs or singlemode transceiver systems, select the appropriate fiber type and connector variant.
