LogiLink OM3 0.5m LC to SC Fibre Optic Cable Blue FP3LS00

The LogiLink OM3 0.5m LC to SC Fibre Optic Cable Blue FP3LS00 is a high-quality multimode patch cable designed for efficient and reliable data transmission in modern networks. Featuring an OM3 fiber type with a 50 µm core diameter and full duplex capability, this cable ensures stable signal transfer across local area networks and telecommunication setups. Built to high industry standards, it incorporates robust construction materials and precision connectors to support demanding high-speed network environments.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable delivers exceptional performance thanks to its Grade A/1 classification and support for data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s over distances up to 500 meters. The inclusion of Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket material enhances safety by minimizing toxic emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for sensitive indoor installations. Each individual cable comes with a measurement protocol, verifying its operational quality prior to use. The compact 0.5-meter length helps maintain neat cable management in crowded racks and patch panels without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in local area networks
• Telecommunication installations requiring high-speed data transfer
• Data center patch panels and server racks
• Enterprise environments utilizing 10 Gbit/s multimode fiber infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for long-distance outdoor runs or direct burial applications, as it lacks specialized weatherproofing and armoring. Additionally, the 0.5-meter length is strictly intended for short-distance interconnections within the same rack or adjacent equipment, and it will not reach between distant rooms or floors.

• Connector 1: LC Male
• Connector 2: SC Male
• Transmission type: Full duplex
• Maximum speed: 10 Gbit/s
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Cable color: Blue
• Compliance standards: DIN EN 50173-1 and IEC/ISO 11801

How to use

Before installation, inspect the connectors for any dust or debris and use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools if necessary. Remove the protective dust caps from both the LC and SC connectors immediately before plugging them into the corresponding ports of your network devices. Gently insert each connector until you hear a distinct click, ensuring a secure and stable physical connection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling tension during routing to preserve the integrity of the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses matching LC and SC interfaces
• Confirm that an OM3 50/125 µm multimode fiber type is compatible with your existing network equipment
• Measure the required distance between devices to ensure the 0.5-meter length is sufficient
• Check whether your installation environment requires LSZH cable jacketing for safety compliance

Usage recommendations: Handle the fiber optic patch cable with care during installation, avoiding tight radius bends that could damage the internal glass fibers. Always keep the dust caps attached to the connectors when the cable is not plugged in to protect the optical end-faces from contamination.
