S-Conn SC to SC Duplex Fiber Patch Cable OM3 aqua 2.0 m

S-Conn SC to SC Duplex Fiber Patch Cable OM3 aqua 2.0 m is a multimode fiber patch lead intended for short- to medium-range high-bandwidth connections. The cable features SC to SC duplex connectors and OM3 grade multimode fiber in an aqua jacket, offering low insertion loss and consistent optical performance for structured cabling in data centers, server rooms and enterprise LANs. With a 2.0 metre length this patch cable is suited to interconnect equipment within racks, between patch panels, and to connect transceivers and switches where OM3 bandwidth is required.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode fiber core and standardized SC duplex connectors enable predictable, low-loss optical links suitable for 10GbE and, in many setups, 40GbE and short-reach high-speed applications. The aqua jacket provides a color-coded, industry-standard identification for laser-optimized multimode fiber, simplifying cable management. The finished patch cable is factory-terminated and tested to ensure consistent performance and immediate plug-and-play installation.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting servers, switches and transceivers in racks and cabinets
• Patch panel to equipment connections in data centers and networking rooms
• Short-reach multimode links requiring OM3 bandwidth
• Environments using SC duplex ports and modules

When it may not be suitable

This duplex OM3 multimode cable is not intended for long-distance singlemode links or carrier long-haul applications where singlemode fiber is required. It may not be appropriate where LC connectors, different connector types, or custom cable lengths are mandated by existing infrastructure or equipment.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3 (laser-optimized)
• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Length: 2.0 m
• Jacket color: Aqua (industry color for OM3)
• Typical applications: Data center patching, rack-to-rack and panel connections

How to use

Route the patch cable between the required SC duplex ports, inserting each SC connector until it clicks into the adapter or transceiver. Keep the cable bends above the minimum bend radius to avoid increased attenuation. For rack installations, use cable management panels or ties to secure the cable and prevent strain on connectors. If connecting to transceivers, ensure the transceivers and ports are compatible with multimode OM3 fiber and that dust caps are removed and connectors are clean prior to insertion.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your equipment uses SC duplex ports and supports multimode OM3 fiber.
• Verify required cable length and whether 2.0 m is sufficient for your rack or panel layout.
• Check whether higher- or lower-grade multimode (OM4/OM2) or singlemode fiber is needed for your network design.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, handle connectors with care, keep connector endfaces clean using proper fiber cleaning tools, and maintain bend radius and strain relief to preserve low insertion loss and stable optical link performance.
