Patch Cable Telegaertner LC (M) to LC (M) 1.0 m — OM3 50/125 µm Aquamarine

Telegaertner Patch Cable LC (M) to LC (M), 1.0 m — OM3 50/125 µm in aquamarine is a multimode fiber jumper designed for short-range high-speed optical links. The cable features LC male connectors on both ends and an OM3-rated 50/125 µm glass fiber core that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications within data centres, enterprise LANs and SAN environments. The aquamarine jacket provides clear visual identification for OM3 links and helps maintain organised patching in racks, panels and transceiver connections.

Advantages

This LC–LC OM3 patch cable delivers consistent multimode performance with low insertion loss and controlled return loss, suitable for typical MPO/LC infrastructure when LC terminations are required. The 1.0 m length minimises excess cable in dense rack environments while providing sufficient reach for patch panels, top-of-rack switch connections and short distribution runs. The aquamarine outer jacket aids quick identification of OM3-rated cabling and reduces the risk of mixing fiber grades during installation or maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panels and optical distribution frames
• Connecting SFP+ or other multimode transceivers to network switches
• Storage area network (SAN) links and virtualised infrastructure
• Lab, test bench and fibre certification setups requiring OM3 bandwidth

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm, OM3 specification
• Connector type: LC male to LC male (duplex)
• Length: 1.0 metre
• Jacket colour: Aquamarine (OM3 identification)
• Application: Short-range high-bandwidth optical links (10 GbE and similar)
• Typical characteristics: Low insertion loss, suitable for patching and transceiver interconnects

How to use

Route the cable between the LC ports of the equipment, ensuring connectors are clean and dust caps removed immediately before insertion. Align the duplex LC connectors with the corresponding adapter or transceiver receptacle and push gently until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends and strain on the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM3 fibre to prevent attenuation increases. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector ferrule.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean the LC connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each installation. Use labelled aquamarine patch cords to keep OM3 links clearly identified and separate from single-mode or other multimode grades. For longer runs or different performance requirements, verify fibre grade and transceiver compatibility prior to deployment.
