Lightwin LDP-50 LC-SC 10.0 OM3 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 10 m Blue

The Lightwin LDP-50 LC-SC 10.0 OM3 fibre optic cable is a 10-metre duplex cable with LC to SC terminations, designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data centre environments. It uses OM3 multimode fibre to support short-range links with increased bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode cables. The cable's blue jacket identifies it as a standard multimode link and its LC-SC connector pair provides compatibility with a wide range of optical transceivers and patch panels used in InfiniBand and other high-throughput systems.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode construction offers improved bandwidth for 10 Gigabit and certain high-speed interconnects, ensuring stable signal quality over the 10 m length. LC and SC connectors provide a balance between compact LC terminations and robust SC connections, facilitating easy patching and compatibility with existing equipment. The cable's nominal 10-metre length reduces the need for additional couplers in medium-sized racks and helps maintain controlled optical loss budgets in short-distance installations.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand high-speed links and interconnects
• Data centre patching between switches, servers and transceivers
• Short-range fibre optic connections in server rooms and telecom racks
• Optical patch panels and transceiver-to-panel connections

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Length: 10 m
• Connector configuration: LC to SC
• Colour: blue outer jacket
• Cable type: duplex multimode patch cable
• Intended use: short-range, high-bandwidth optical links

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable jacket before installation to ensure there is no visible damage or contamination. Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools prior to mating. Route the cable through rack pathways or cable management systems, avoiding tight bends and excessive tension; adhere to the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until each clicks or seats firmly. Verify link integrity and optical power levels using appropriate test equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and protect the cable from mechanical stress; use dust caps when connectors are not in use and perform endface cleaning before connecting. Use OM3 with compatible transceivers and follow system optical budget guidelines for InfiniBand or Ethernet links to ensure expected data rates across the 10 m span.
