Lindy OM3 Multimode Fibre Optic Cable LC to LC 100m 50/125µm Duplex

The Lindy OM3 Multimode Fibre Optic Cable LC to LC 100m 50/125µm Duplex is a professional-grade fiber optic patch cable engineered for structured network installations, data centers, and server rooms. Measuring 100 meters in length, this cable facilitates reliable high-bandwidth data transmission across extensive distances within buildings or campuses. It features LC to LC duplex connectors on both ends and utilizes an OM3 multimode fiber construction with a 50/125 µm core and cladding diameter. Designed with halogen-free materials, the cable helps minimize smoke and corrosive gas emissions in the event of a fire, making it a safe choice for modern enterprise environments. Each individual cable is tested and supplied with measurement protocols detailing insertion loss, ensuring dependable performance right out of the box.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable provides total immunity to electrical and electromagnetic interference, allowing for stable signal transmission in environments dense with electrical equipment. The high-grade OM3 multimode fiber supports demanding high-speed network protocols such as 10-Gigabit Ethernet over long runs. Its robust yet flexible twin-zip construction simplifies installation in tight spaces, overhead cable trays, and raised floors. Furthermore, the halogen-free jacket enhances workplace safety by complying with strict building fire safety standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers over long distances in large server rooms and data centers
• Backbone building cabling and structured network installations across multiple floors or rooms
• High-speed enterprise networks requiring reliable 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference where copper cables are impractical

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for short-range patch connections inside a single rack, where a 100-meter length would result in excessive cable slack. Additionally, because it utilizes LC connectors, it is incompatible with network equipment that only features older standard interfaces such as SC or RJ45 ports without appropriate media converters.

How to use

Carefully uncoil the cable and inspect the LC connectors for any dust or debris before installation. Remove the protective dust caps from both the connectors and the transceiver ports just before plugging them in. Gently push the LC connector into the corresponding network port until an audible click confirms a secure connection. Route the cable safely along designated cable management pathways, avoiding sharp bends or excessive pulling tension that could damage the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that both network devices are equipped with LC duplex multimode compatible ports or transceivers
• Measure the precise distance between connected equipment to ensure the 100-meter length is appropriate without excessive excess
• Check local building and fire safety regulations regarding halogen-free cable requirements

Usage recommendations: Maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius during installation to prevent signal degradation or fiber breakage. Always use dust caps on disconnected connectors to keep the optical surfaces clean.
