Network Cable LYNX LX-DPX-SC/SC-OM3-10 SC/SC OM3 10m

The LYNX LX-DPX-SC/SC-OM3-10 is a duplex fiber patch cable designed for high-speed optical data transmission. It uses SC to SC terminations and meets OM3 multimode fiber standards for 50/125 µm cores, providing consistent signal quality and reduced modal dispersion. At 10 meters length, the cable is suitable for linking network equipment racks, switches, patch panels and optical transceivers in data centers, server rooms and professional network installations. The construction emphasizes mechanical durability and stable optical performance across typical multimode applications.

Advantages

This OM3 duplex cable delivers high bandwidth and low attenuation suitable for 10 Gbps and higher multimode applications over moderate distances. The SC/SC connectors offer reliable push-pull coupling and easy insertion into standard adapters and devices. The LC-style footpring is not required, as SC connectors provide robust alignment; the 50/125 µm OM3 fiber core supports laser-optimized transmission for improved reach compared with lower-grade multimode fiber. The cable's outer jacket and connector protection maintain performance in rack environments and during repeated handling.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting network switches and transceivers in data centers
• Patch panel to switch connections in server rooms
• High-speed multimode links for 10 Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel
• Short- to medium-range optical runs within telecom rooms and equipment racks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 multimode, 50/125 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Cable length: 10 m
• Performance: optimized for laser sources, suitable for 10 Gbps multimode links
• Application: patching, horizontal and rack-level multimode connections

How to use

Route the cable between the two connection points, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress. Insert each SC connector into the corresponding SC adapter or transceiver port until it clicks into place, ensuring correct duplex orientation for transmit and receive channels. Secure excess cable within cable management panels or trays to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent microbending losses. When disconnecting, depress the SC connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the LYNX OM3 cable in a clean environment; keep connector dust caps on when not in use. Clean connectors before termination or mating using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. For installations, maintain the recommended bend radius for multimode fiber and avoid tight loops or kinks. Choose OM3 multimode cabling for short- to medium-distance 10 Gbps applications and verify link performance with an appropriate optical tester after installation.
