LWL Cable ROLINE 50/125µm OM3 LC/LC 2m

The ROLINE LWL Cable 50/125µm OM3 LC/LC 2m is a multimode fiber patch cable engineered for high-speed, short- to medium-range optical links. With 50/125 µm core/cladding dimensions and OM3 grade glass, the cable supports full-duplex transmission through LC connectors on both ends. Its 2 m length and duplex LC/LC termination make it suitable for patching within racks, connecting switches, transceivers or InfiniBand equipment in data centers and managed network environments. The cable jacket is colored green to identify OM3 performance and simplify installation labeling.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode fiber cable provides low insertion loss and consistent optical performance for 10 Gbps and higher multimode links over short distances. The LC duplex connectors ensure a compact footprint in high-density panels and SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver interfaces. As a factory-terminated patch cable, it reduces installation time and the need for on-site splicing or polishing. The standardized 50/125 µm geometry and OM3 rating enable predictable link budgeting and compatibility with common multimode transceivers.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, servers and fiber panels in data centers
• Connecting InfiniBand or high-speed HPC interconnects
• Linking SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers and fiber modules
• Internal network cabling in server rooms and telecommunication cabinets

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode, 50/125 µm
• OM grade: OM3 (laser-optimized multimode)
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 2 m
• Mode: Full duplex
• Jacket color: Green (OM3 identification)

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors and fiber ports for dust or damage before connecting. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port until it clicks; ensure duplex orientation matches the transmit and receive pairs on your equipment. Avoid tight bends in the cable—maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius—to prevent increased attenuation. For removal, press the LC latch and gently pull the connector straight out. Store unused cable ends with protective dust caps to keep connectors clean.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM3 LC/LC cable for short- to medium-range multimode links, especially when connecting 10 Gbps and higher equipment within racks. Keep connectors protected from contamination, route cables with strain relief, and follow industry bend-radius guidelines to maintain optimal optical performance.
