Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks S/CONN 3m LC/LC

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN 3m LC/LC fibre optic cable is a 3-metre duplex patchcord designed for multimode OM2 networks. With a 50 µm core diameter and LC connectors on both ends, this cable supports full duplex data transmission for high-speed networking between switches, patch panels and active equipment. The grey and orange colour coding simplifies identification and cabling in racks and cabinets, while the halogen-free jacket reduces toxic fume release in the event of fire.

Advantages

This OM2 50/125 µm LC/LC patchcord offers stable multimode performance over short to medium distances and is compatible with standard LC ports. The duplex configuration enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full duplex links. A halogen-free jacket provides improved safety in enclosed environments, and the 3 metre length balances reach and manageable cable routing in server rooms and telecommunications closets.

Suitable for

• Data centre horizontal cabling and rack-to-rack connections
• Patch panels and network switches with LC ports
• Telecommunications rooms and structured cabling systems
• Short to medium multimode links such as SAN or campus networks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM2
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 3 metres
• Jacket: Halogen-free
• Colour coding: Grey and orange

How to use

Inspect connectors for dust or damage before installation and, if necessary, clean them with appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Plug LC connectors into corresponding LC ports on network equipment or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation for duplex pairing. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibres. Secure the cable in cable management trays or ties to prevent movement and signal loss.

Usage recommendations

Use this 3m LC/LC OM2 patchcord for reliable short- to medium-range multimode connections. For maximum performance, keep connectors clean, avoid excessive bending, and choose singlemode or higher-grade multimode (OM3/OM4) alternatives when longer reach or higher bandwidth is required.
