Optical patch cable LC‑ST duplex 50/125 µm OM3, 5 m, OEM

Duplex optical patch cable LC–ST, 50/125 µm OM3 multimode fiber, 5 m length, designed for short‑reach multimode networks and equipment interconnects. The cable pairs an LC connector on one end with an ST connector on the other to provide flexible connectivity between patch panels, transceivers and active devices. OM3 multimode fiber is laser‑optimized for higher bandwidth and supports typical short‑distance applications in data centers and enterprise LANs.

Advantages

The LC–ST duplex cable offers low insertion loss and stable multimode transmission characteristics suitable for high‑speed links. Its OM3 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry enables improved modal bandwidth for laser sources, while duplex construction simplifies bi‑directional connections. The combination of LC and ST connectors increases compatibility with a variety of equipment and patching hardware commonly found in racks and distribution panels.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach multimode links in data centers and server rooms
• Interconnection between patch panels and network equipment
• LAN backbones and campus cabling where OM3 performance is required
• Telecommunications racks and fiber distribution frames

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm
• Connector configuration: Duplex (paired fibers)
• Connectors: LC on one end, ST on the other
• Length: 5 m
• Optimized for: Laser sources and higher modal bandwidth
• Typical applications: Short‑reach data links, patching and equipment interconnects

How to use

Inspect connectors and housing for dust or damage before installation. Align and insert the LC connector into the LC adapter or transceiver socket, and insert the ST connector into the corresponding ST receptacle or adapter until it locks in place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. For duplex links, ensure correct pairing and polarity between transmit and receive ports.

Usage recommendations

Use dust caps when connectors are not connected and perform end‑face cleaning with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. For optimal performance, deploy this OM3 cable in short‑reach segments where multimode, laser‑optimized transmission is required and avoid prolonged exposure to tensile stress or tight bends.
