Fiber Optic Cable StarTech A50FBLCLC7

The StarTech Fiber Optic Cable A50FBLCLC7 is a 7 m (22 ft) OM3 multimode duplex LC to LC patch cable with 50/125 µm fiber, designed for high-bandwidth data transmission in 10 Gigabit and higher networks. The aqua LSZH jacket and aramid fiber sheath provide flame-retardant protection and added tensile strength, making the cable suitable for data centers, enterprise networking and other high-density installations. Each cable is individually tested to meet optical insertion loss limits and is covered by a lifetime warranty from StarTech.com.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode patch cable supports laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) for reliable 850 nm VCSEL and LED source performance, enabling high-speed connections such as 10 GbE or higher. The LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) jacket reduces smoke and toxic emission in case of fire, while the aramid fiber sheath increases durability and strain resistance. Individual testing ensures consistent optical insertion loss within acceptable limits for dependable compatibility with network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, SANs and data servers with LC/UPC ports
• High-density patch panels and fiber trunking in data centers
• Short-reach 10 Gigabit and 40/100G parallel links within enterprise networks

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors and fiber ends for contamination before installation. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and excessive pulling force; maintain bend radius recommendations for multimode fiber. Insert LC connectors into corresponding LC ports on network devices or patch panels until they click to secure. For best performance, ensure proper polarity and duplex orientation and verify link status with appropriate network testing equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM3 LC to LC multimode cable for short to medium distance, high-bandwidth links inside data centers or enterprise facilities. Choose LSZH-jacketed cables where building codes or enclosed environments require reduced smoke and halogen emissions. For long runs or single-mode requirements, select an appropriate single-mode fiber solution.
