Fiber optic patch cable Secomp S1803 OM3 50/125 µm LC-LC 3 m turquoise

Secomp S1803 OM3 50/125 µm LC-LC patch cable is a multimode fiber optic cable designed for short- to medium-range high-speed links. The cable uses OM3-grade 50/125 µm multimode fiber and LC duplex connectors on both ends, with a 3 m turquoise jacket that aids visual identification in dense cabling environments. It is intended for use in data centers, server rooms and network equipment racks where consistent OM3 performance and LC connectivity are required.

Advantages

This LC-LC OM3 patch cable provides low insertion loss and stable multimode transmission characteristics suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other multimode applications over short distances. The turquoise jacket colour complies with common OM3 identification practices and helps reduce installation errors. Compact LC connectors save port space in high-density panels, while a 3 m length balances reach and cable management in typical rack layouts.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within data centres and server rooms
• Patch connections between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Multimode fiber backbones and horizontal cabling in commercial networks
• Telecommunication and network equipment requiring LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 3 m
• Jacket colour: Turquoise
• Suitable applications: Short- to medium-range multimode links (e.g., 10GbE)

How to use

Install the cable by plugging the LC connectors into matching LC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to minimise insertion loss; use a fibre cleaning tool or lint-free wipes with appropriate cleaner. Route the 3 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive torsion, maintain bend radii recommended by the equipment manufacturer, and secure it with cable ties or Velcro straps to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the OM3 patch cable in a clean environment, protect connector endfaces from dust with dust caps when not connected, and follow standard multimode fibre handling procedures. For reliable 10GbE performance, verify link budgets and use compatible OM3 transceivers and equipment.
