Network Cable LYNX LX-DPX-LC/LC-OM3-05 LC/LC OM3 0.5m

The LYNX duplex patch cable LX-DPX-LC/LC-OM3-05 is a 0.5 m multimode fiber patch lead with LC to LC connectors and OM3 grade fiber (50/125 µm). It is designed for short-range high-speed links in data centers, server rooms and office network closets, delivering consistent optical performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and similar applications. The compact LC/LC duplex design provides a reliable connection between transceivers, patch panels and active equipment while keeping cabling density high.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable offers low insertion loss and stable end-to-end signal integrity for short-distance links. The LC/LC duplex connectors minimise space and allow easy, tool-free mating with LC ports. Its 50/125 µm core and OM3 specification support higher modal bandwidth for accelerated data rates, and the short 0.5 m length reduces excess slack and improves airflow management in dense racks.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+/SFP28 or QSFP+ transceivers over short distances
• Patch panels and high-density network racks in data centers
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links within the same equipment cabinet
• Office network closets and telecommunications rooms where compact cabling is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC duplex to LC duplex
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Polish/type: Factory-terminated, suitable for high-speed optical transceivers
• Typical applications: 10 GbE and other short-reach high-bandwidth links

How to use

Inspect connectors for dust or debris before connecting. Align the LC duplex connectors with the corresponding LC ports on the transceivers or patch panel and insert until the latch clicks into place. When disconnecting, press the latch and gently withdraw the connector. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation. For best results, use in clean rack environments and combine with appropriate transceivers and patch panels rated for OM3 multimode fiber.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in protective packaging prior to installation to prevent contamination. Clean connector endfaces with approved fiber cleaning tools if required, and avoid tight bends or mechanical strain. Use colored labeling or identification on both ends for efficient management in dense installations.
