Fiber Optic Cable StarTech.com A50FBLCLC3

The StarTech.com A50FBLCLC3 is a 3 m LC/UPC to LC/UPC multimode fiber patch cable optimized for 850 nm laser transmission (OM3) with a 50/125 µm core. Designed for high-speed, high-bandwidth links, this duplex aqua cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel and higher-speed data connections such as 100G where OM3 fiber is appropriate. The cable uses a zipcord form factor and is intended for indoor network installations in data centers, server rooms and office environments.

Advantages

This LC-LC multimode fiber cable features laser-optimized 50/125 OM3 fiber for reduced modal dispersion and low insertion loss, providing reliable high-speed links between switches, SANs, servers and other network equipment. The LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) jacket reduces smoke, toxicity and corrosive gases in the event of fire, meeting safety requirements for many commercial and institutional buildings. Each duplex cable is factory tested to meet insertion loss limits for compatibility and is covered by the manufacturer’s lifetime warranty.

Suitable for

• Data center and server room connections between switches, patch panels and SANs
• High-speed links for 10GbE, Fibre Channel and compatible 40/100G optics over OM3
• Indoor installations where LSZH cable is required by building codes
• Office network backbone and equipment-to-equipment patching

How to use

Inspect connectors for cleanliness before installation and use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Route the duplex cable between LC ports, ensuring correct orientation for transmit/receive pairs and avoiding tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Secure the cable to racks or trays using non-compressive ties designed for fiber optic cabling and connect to LC duplex adapters or transceivers in switches, servers or SAN equipment.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, confirm that connected transceivers and equipment support OM3 multimode fiber and 850 nm operation. Maintain clean connector endfaces and avoid sharp bends or compression; store spare cable coiled loosely and protect terminations with dust caps when not in use.
