Fibre optic jumper cable Madex LC/LC OM3 50/125µm turquoise, 3 m

Madex LC/LC OM3 50/125µm turquoise fibre optic jumper cable, 3 m, is a multimode patch cord designed for short‑range high‑bandwidth connections. The cable uses LC connectors on both ends and OM3 graded multimode fibre with a 50/125 µm core/cladding profile. The turquoise jacket provides clear visual identification in racks and patch panels and the 3 m length is suitable for typical data centre and LAN cabling runs between equipment and panels.

Advantages

This LC/LC OM3 jumper supports high data throughput and reduced modal dispersion compared with lower graded multimode fibres, making it appropriate for 10 Gbps and higher short‑range links. The LC duplex connectors offer compact termination for dense patch panel installations, while the colour-coded turquoise jacket simplifies identification and cable management. The 50/125 µm multimode geometry ensures compatibility with standard multimode transceivers and equipment commonly used in server racks and network switches.

Suitable for

• Short‑range multimode links in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panels, fibre management enclosures and switch to transceiver connections
• LAN backbone and horizontal cabling requiring OM3 performance
• High‑density installations where LC duplex connectors are preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Fibre type: Multimode OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Cable length: 3 m
• Jacket colour: Turquoise for identification
• Application: Short‑range high‑speed data transmission

How to use

Route the jumper through the patching area and insert each LC connector into the corresponding duplex adapter or transceiver port until it clicks. For duplex LC, ensure correct orientation of transmit and receive channels when connecting active equipment. Avoid tight bends and kinks during installation; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch and pull straight out without twisting to avoid damaging the ferrule or cable.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM3 LC/LC jumper for intra‑rack and inter‑rack multimode connections where 10 Gbps or greater short‑range performance is required. Store and route the cable in cable managers or Velcro straps to prevent excessive bending and to maintain signal integrity. Regularly inspect connector endfaces and clean with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating to minimise insertion loss and back reflection.
