Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable LC-LC 50/125 OM3 8m

The Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable LC-LC 50/125 OM3 is a high-performance networking solution designed for reliable data transmission in demanding environments. Featuring LC duplex connectors on both ends and high-quality 50/125 micron multimode fiber, this 8-meter cable provides a stable connection for high-speed networking hardware. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern data centers and telecommunications infrastructure, ensuring minimal signal loss and optimal data integrity.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional performance for high-bandwidth applications, supporting data rates up to 100Gbps depending on the distance and equipment used. The OM3 multimode fiber construction is specifically optimized for laser-based light sources, making it an efficient choice for 10Gbps Ethernet networks. Its duplex design allows for simultaneous bidirectional data flow, which simplifies cabling management and improves overall network efficiency. The precision-engineered LC connectors ensure a secure fit and consistent signal quality, reducing the risk of connection drops or performance degradation.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100Gbps Ethernet networks
• Data center server room interconnections
• Telecommunications infrastructure
• Enterprise local area networks (LAN)

This cable is not suitable for long-distance outdoor installations where single-mode fiber is required, as multimode fiber is limited by modal dispersion over extended reaches. It is also not compatible with equipment requiring SC, ST, or other connector types without the use of appropriate adapters.

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC Duplex to LC Duplex
• Fiber type: 50/125 micron Multimode (OM3)
• Cable length: 8 meters
• Supported speeds: 10Gbps, 40Gbps, 100Gbps

To use this cable, simply insert the LC connectors into the corresponding ports on your networking equipment, such as switches, routers, or transceivers, until you hear a click. Ensure that the connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion to maintain signal integrity. Route the cable carefully through cable management trays, avoiding sharp bends or excessive tension that could damage the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking equipment supports LC duplex connectors
• Ensure the 8-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation path
• Confirm that your existing network infrastructure is compatible with OM3 multimode fiber

Always handle fiber optic cables with care. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and keep the connector tips protected with dust caps when not in use to prevent contamination.
