Fibre optic cable Lightwin LDP-50 LC-LC 0.5 OM3

The Lightwin LDP-50 LC-LC 0.5 OM3 fibre optic cable is a short-range multimode patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in dense networking environments. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM3 specification, the cable supports full-duplex communication through LC connectors on both ends. Its 0.5 m length makes it suitable for connections inside racks, between network switches and transceivers, or in server and storage enclosures where low-loss, reliable links are required.

Advantages

The cable combines OM3 multimode fiber performance with compact LC-LC terminations to provide stable data transfer and reduced insertion loss in short-reach applications. Its short length minimizes excess fiber management and signal attenuation while LC connectors offer a secure push-pull mating compatible with common transceivers and patch panels. The construction is optimized for consistent modal bandwidth and low return loss for InfiniBand and other high-throughput interfaces.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, servers and storage within a rack or rack row
• Patch panel connections in data centers and server rooms
• InfiniBand links and short-reach high-speed network connections
• Connections between transceivers and SFP/SFP+ or QSFP breakout modules (where LC is required)

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 0.5 m
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth links

How to use

Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on the transceiver, switch or patch panel until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Avoid bending the cable sharply; maintain the manufacturer-recommended bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. For routing within racks, secure the cable with cable management clips or organizers to prevent stress on the connectors and to keep fiber paths tidy. Verify link activity and throughput after installation to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

Handle the LC connectors with clean hands and keep dust caps on until connection. Use an appropriate fiber inspection scope and cleaning tools before mating connectors. Avoid excessive pulling forces and tight bends; store spare length coiled with gentle loops. For critical installations, test the link with suitable optical test equipment to verify loss and performance.
