Fiber Optic Cable StarTech A50FBLCSC2 2m LC/SC OM3 Multimode

The StarTech A50FBLCSC2 is a 2-meter (6.6 ft) OM3 multimode fiber patch cable with one LC male connector and one SC male connector. Constructed with 50/125 µm core/cladding fiber, this aqua-colored duplex cable supports high-speed data transfer for backbone links, switches, routers and other high-performance networking equipment. The cable jacket is LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) and flame retardant, reducing smoke and toxic emissions in the event of fire and making it suitable for installations where safety and building codes are important.

Advantages

The OM3 50/125 multimode construction supports high data rates and low insertion loss for reliable 10 Gigabit (and up to supported 100G rates in compatible systems) performance over short to medium distances. The duplex LC-to-SC termination provides compatibility with a wide range of network devices and transceivers. The LSZH, flame-retardant jacket minimizes smoke, halogen release and corrosive gases, improving safety in indoor, industrial and centralized installations.

Suitable for

• Fiber backbone connections between switches, hubs and routers
• Data center links and server-to-switch connections
• High-speed networking equipment using LC and SC ports
• Indoor installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling is required

How to use

Route the duplex fiber cable between the two network devices, ensuring connectors are kept clean and protected until insertion. Align and insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port on the respective devices or patch panels. Use appropriate cable management and strain relief to prevent excessive bending and mechanical stress on the fiber. Test the link with suitable fiber test equipment after installation to verify continuity and signal loss levels.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep bend radius within manufacturer recommendations, avoid contaminating connector endfaces, and use dust caps when connectors are not in use. Choose OM3 cabling for short- to medium-range 10GbE and compatible high-speed applications; verify transceiver and device compatibility for 100G links.
