Network Cable LC/UPC-LC/UPC MM Multimode 50/125 OM3 Duplex LSZH Aqua 5m

This LC/UPC-LC/UPC MM Multimode 50/125 OM3 Duplex LSZH Aqua 5m cable is a duplex multimode fiber patch cable designed for short- to medium-range network connections. It uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber meeting OM3 category specifications to support high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. The cable is terminated with LC/UPC connectors on both ends and is sheathed in LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material for reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions in the event of fire. The aqua jacket color provides quick visual identification in dense cable environments.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode fiber core and LC/UPC terminations provide low insertion loss and consistent return loss for reliable duplex signal transmission. The LSZH jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces and complies with environments where reduced smoke and halogen-free materials are required. The 5 m length is convenient for connecting equipment within racks, between nearby switches, or linking patch panels to servers without excess slack. The standardized connector type and multimode rating ensure compatibility with common transceivers and network gear designed for OM3 performance.

Suitable for

• Data center patching between switches, servers, and patch panels
• Office LAN backbone and horizontal runs within telecommunications rooms
• Short-reach multimode transceiver connections (e.g., 10 Gigabit Ethernet over OM3)
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

How to use

Verify that both network devices and transceivers support multimode OM3 fiber and LC/UPC connectors. Align and insert each LC connector into the appropriate duplex adapter or transceiver port until it clicks; avoid bending the fiber beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Route the cable to minimize strain and secure it with cable management hardware if necessary. If replacing an existing cable, power down equipment according to operational procedures if required by your site policy before swapping connections.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools to maintain low insertion loss. Avoid tight bends and compressive forces on the cable; store spare length in loose loops and use strain relief near connectors. Use this OM3 multimode cable for applications up to the rated reach for your transceivers and follow equipment vendor guidelines for multimode fiber links.
