Fibre optic cable Goobay 10m LC-LC OM3

The Goobay 10m LC-LC OM3 fibre optic cable is designed for high-speed, low-latency data transmission in professional network environments. With a 50 µm multimode core and OM3 specification, this 10-metre cable supports full duplex communication using LC connectors on both ends. It is suitable for short to medium distance links where reliable optical performance is required, including InfiniBand and other high-bandwidth applications in data centres and server rooms.

Advantages

This LC-LC OM3 fibre cable provides predictable attenuation and consistent modal bandwidth for multimode links. The OM3 rating enables higher laser-optimized performance compared with lower OM classes, supporting increased data rates over the specified distance. The LC connectors ensure a compact, stable connection suitable for high-density patch panels and transceivers, while the 10 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel routing without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects and other high-speed storage or compute fabrics
• Data centre patching between switches, servers and transceivers
• Multimode fibre links within enterprise LANs and server rooms
• High-density networking equipment requiring LC connectors

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode optical fibre, OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 10 metres
• Performance: Laser-optimized multimode for enhanced bandwidth at short-to-medium distances
• Jacket: Flexible outer sheath suitable for structured cabling (indoor use)

How to use

Align the LC connector keyed tab with the transceiver or adapter slot and insert until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use one strand for transmit and the other for receive according to the equipment port labeling; duplex LC assemblies are typically colour-coded or marked for Tx/Rx orientation. Avoid tight bends near the connector—maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius—to prevent increased insertion loss. When routing, secure the cable with cable management hardware to prevent strain on the connectors and to keep bend radii within limits.

Usage recommendations

Keep connector end faces clean and covered when not in use; inspect and, if necessary, clean ferrules with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating. For best performance, match OM3 multimode cable with compatible OM3-rated transceivers and avoid mixing multimode types in the same link. Store the cable coiled loosely and protect from physical damage and moisture.
