INTELLINET multimode fiber patch cable ST to LC OM3 50/125, 2 m, duplex, aqua

INTELLINET multimode fiber patch cable ST to LC OM3 50/125, 2 m, duplex, aqua is a factory-terminated duplex fiber jumper designed for short-reach high-bandwidth links in data centers and enterprise networks. The cable uses 50/125 µm multimode glass with OM3 performance characteristics, terminated with an ST connector on one end and an LC connector on the other. The 2 m length and aqua jacket identify it as an OM3 multimode assembly suitable for backbone, switch-to-server and patch-panel connections where duplex fiber and standardized multimode performance are required.

Advantages

This INTELLINET OM3 patch cable combines interoperability and standardized multimode performance in a compact duplex format. The ST and LC connectors provide compatibility with a wide range of legacy and contemporary equipment, while the OM3 50/125 construction supports higher modal bandwidth for short‑reach 10GbE and similar applications. The 2 m length reduces excess slack in rack installations, and the aqua jacket makes it easy to visually identify OM3 multimode runs in cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Data center patch panels and switch-to-switch links
• Server and storage area network connections requiring duplex multimode fiber
• LAN backbone cabling and short-reach 10 Gbit/s links
• Environments where ST to LC connector mating is needed for mixed-connector equipment

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, core/cladding 50/125 µm
• Connector A: ST (bayonet)
• Connector B: LC (small form factor)
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Cable length: 2 m
• Jacket colour: Aqua (OM3 identification)
• Typical applications: Short-reach high-bandwidth links such as 10GbE

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and mating the ST connector into the ST adapter or equipment port using the bayonet locking motion, and insert the LC connector into the corresponding LC port or adapter until it latches. Use one fiber for transmit and the other for receive according to the port labelling on your devices. Route the cable to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber and secure the cable in cable management panels to prevent stress on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, verify connector end-face cleanliness before mating, use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not in use, and follow your equipment vendor's transceiver and link budget guidelines. Choose this 2 m ST–LC OM3 duplex cable for short-reach multimode installations where mixed connector types or a compact LC interface are required.
