Optical patch cable LC–LC OM3 50/125 µm 1 m — OEM

Optical patch cable LC–LC OM3 50/125 µm 1 m — OEM is a multimode fiber patch lead with duplex LC connectors and 50/125 µm OM3 fiber core. At 1 metre length it is intended for short interconnects in racks, patch panels and within equipment cabinets. The cable is optimized for shortwave laser (850 nm) transmission and provides the bandwidth and modal performance required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and other high‑speed data connections in data centers and local area networks.

Advantages

This LC–LC OM3 50/125 µm patch cable offers low insertion loss and standardized multimode performance for reliable short‑reach links. The duplex LC connectors enable compact, space‑saving connections in high‑density panels and transceiver modules. With OM3 graded multimode fiber and controlled bandwidth, the cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at typical data‑center distances and allows straightforward, plug‑and‑play installation without special tools.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet short‑reach links within data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels, fiber distribution frames and telecom racks
• Interconnects between transceivers, switches and storage arrays
• LAN backbone segments and equipment cabinet cabling

When it may not be suitable

This 50/125 µm OM3 multimode cable is not intended for long‑haul single‑mode links or applications that require single‑mode fiber connectivity. It may not be suitable where connector types other than LC are required or where lengths significantly longer than 1 m are needed. For environments with special mechanical or environmental requirements (armouring, outdoor rating, extreme temperatures) use cables specified for those conditions.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector type: Duplex LC on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Wavelength support: optimized for 850 nm shortwave laser
• Typical application: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other short‑reach multimode links
• Form factor: Duplex small‑form‑factor LC for high‑density racks

How to use

Verify that both ends match the LC connector ports on your transceivers, patch panel or switch. Remove protective dust caps from connectors before insertion and keep them capped when not in use. Gently insert the LC duplex connector until it clicks into the port; avoid bending the fiber below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. When disconnecting, press the LC latch and pull straight out. For best performance, ensure connectors and transceiver ports are clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools or wipes.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your equipment requires multimode OM3 fiber and LC connectors rather than single‑mode or other connector types.
• Check that 1 m length is appropriate for your rack or panel layout to avoid excess slack or tight bends.
• Ensure the cable construction and jacket type meet your environmental and routing needs (indoor, rack, conduit).

Usage recommendations

Use this LC–LC OM3 1 m patch cable for short, high‑density interconnects where 10 Gigabit multimode performance is required. Maintain clean connectors, follow minimum bend radius guidelines and select the proper length to preserve signal integrity and simplify cable management.
