Fiber optic patch cable Triton S1802-10, multimode 50/125 µm OM3, LC to LC, 2 m, turquoise

Triton S1802-10 is a 2 m multimode fiber optic patch cable with 50/125 µm core/cladding and OM3 performance, terminated with LC to LC connectors. The turquoise jacket identifies it as an OM3 link and facilitates organized cabling in data centers, network racks and patch panels. The cable is intended for short-reach high-speed links including 10GbE and other multimode applications that require OM3 grade attenuation and modal bandwidth.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and return loss consistent with multimode OM3 standards, ensuring reliable signal transmission for short-reach fiber networks. LC duplex connectors provide a compact form factor that fits high-density panels and transceiver modules. The 2 m length is suitable for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections while the turquoise outer jacket supports visual identification of OM3 links for easier maintenance and cable management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-reach links
• Interconnects between patch panels and switches in data centers
• Connections between optical equipment and transceivers supporting multimode
• High-density rack environments where LC duplex connectors are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: multimode, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• OM classification: OM3
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket color: turquoise (OM3 identification)
• Typical applications: short-reach high-speed data links

How to use

Inspect both connector end faces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary before insertion. Align the LC connectors with the corresponding duplex ports on transceivers, patch panels or switches and push until the latch clicks into place. Avoid tight bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid stress on the fiber.

Usage recommendations

Store and route the cable in cable trays or managed patching channels to prevent mechanical damage. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated, and perform visual inspection and cleaning periodically to maintain optimal link performance. For installations requiring longer reach or single-mode links, select appropriate fiber types and OM/OS standards.
