InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM3 25m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM3 25m is a multimode duplex fiber patch cable designed for high-speed networking and reliable data transmission. With LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, this 25-metre OM3 cable supports full-duplex links between active equipment in data centres, telecom racks and office networks. The 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and OM3 laser-optimized multimode construction provide improved bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion for short- to medium-reach connections.

Advantages

This cable delivers consistent multimode performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications over moderate distances. The duplex configuration allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels in one easy-to-route assembly. Standard LC and SC connectors ensure broad compatibility with network switches, transceivers and patch panels. The 25 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and room-to-room installations while maintaining signal integrity through OM3 fiber characteristics.

Suitable for

• 10GbE multimode links within data centres and server rooms
• Fiber patching between switches, media converters and transceivers
• Office backbone connections and local network infrastructure
• Telecom equipment interconnects and test bench setups

How to use

Identify the LC and SC ends and route the cable following equipment manufacturer guidelines and cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. Plug LC connectors into LC ports and SC connectors into SC ports, ensuring secure seating and proper orientation. For duplex operation, match transmit to receive channels according to your network device labelling. If using patch panels or transceivers, confirm connector type compatibility and, if necessary, use appropriate adapters or patch cords to complete the link. Perform link validation with an optical tester or certified network test tool after installation to verify attenuation and signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Avoid bending the cable below the manufacturer-specified minimum bend radius, keep connector endfaces clean using proper fiber cleaning tools, and store or route the cable away from sources of mechanical stress and strong electromagnetic interference. For critical 10GbE links, verify OM3 performance parameters and test insertion loss to ensure reliable operation.
