Fiber optic patch cable Secomp OM3 50/125 µm LC–LC 5 m turquoise

Secomp fiber optic patch cable OM3 50/125 µm LC–LC, 5 m, turquoise is a multimode duplex cable designed for short‑reach high‑speed optical links. The cable uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber with an OM3 graded modal bandwidth suitable for 10GbE and similar multimode transmissions. Both ends are terminated with LC multimode connectors that provide compact, reliable connections for patch panels, network cabinets and data‑center interconnects.

Advantages

This LC–LC OM3 patch cable offers consistent multimode performance with a standardized 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and a jacket color that identifies OM3 specification. The 5 m length covers typical in‑rack and between‑rack connections while keeping insertion loss low. LC connectors deliver small form factor terminations compatible with modern transceivers and high‑density panels. The cable construction is intended for indoor use in managed cabling pathways and provides stable optical characteristics for short‑reach multimode links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet short‑reach links within data centers
• Patching between switches, transceivers and server NICs in racks
• Connections in network cabinets and optical patch panels
• Multimode fiber test setups and lab environments

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, multimode
• Length: 5 m
• Jacket color: Turquoise (OM3 identification)
• Polish/type: Factory‑terminated duplex LC termini
• Typical application: Short‑reach multimode optical communications (e.g., 10GbE)

How to use

Route the duplex LC–LC patch cable through cable management pathways and connect LC connectors into compatible LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or switch modules. Observe correct polarity for transmit/receive pairs when connecting active equipment. Avoid tight bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent additional loss. For installation, insert connectors until the latch clicks and ensure dust caps are removed and connector endfaces are clean before mating.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM3 LC–LC cable for in‑rack and between‑rack connections where multimode 10GbE or similar short‑reach optical links are required. Keep spare dust caps for unused connectors, clean endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools, and secure the cable to provide strain relief and avoid tight bends that could increase insertion loss.
