InLine optický duplexní kabel LC/SC 50/125µm OM3 15 m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM3 15m is a multimode duplex patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission over a 15 meter reach. It uses OM3-grade 50/125 µm fiber for reduced modal dispersion and improved bandwidth compared with lower OM classes, and its duplex design supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels. Terminated with 2x LC and 2x SC connectors, the cable offers compatibility with equipment that accepts LC or SC interfaces and is suitable for structured cabling, patch panels, and network device interconnects.

Advantages

This duplex OM3 cable provides a balance of performance and flexibility for short- to medium-range optical links. The 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and OM3 specification enable higher bandwidth and greater reach within multimode deployments than OM1/OM2 fibers. Dual connectorization with LC and SC terminations simplifies connection to a variety of switches, transceivers, and patch panels without additional adapters in many installations. The 15 m length covers typical rack-to-rack and equipment-to-patch-panel runs while maintaining low insertion loss and stable signal transmission when properly installed.

Suitable for

• Data center rack-to-rack connections and intra-rack patching
• Connection between network switches, media converters, and transceivers
• Structured cabling runs between patch panels and active equipment
• Short- to medium-distance multimode fiber links in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Length: 15 m
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connector ends: 2× LC and 2× SC
• Polish/type: UPC (typical for LC/SC multimode assemblies)
• Typical attenuation: suitable for multimode OM3 link budgets (dependant on equipment)

How to use

Connect the LC-terminated ends to devices or transceivers that accept LC connectors and the SC ends to panels or devices with SC ports, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive channels. Handle the connectors by the boot or ferrule housing and avoid touching the fiber endfaces; inspect and, if necessary, clean endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Route the cable following standard bend-radius rules for multimode fiber and secure it to prevent strain at the connector backshells. Verify link status with network equipment and perform optical loss or continuity testing as part of installation verification.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in environments free of excessive dust and moisture. Maintain minimum bend radius (typically 10× cable diameter for multimode fibers) and avoid tight bends, crushing, or repeated flexing. Use fiber cleaning kits to keep connector endfaces clean and perform periodic inspections to ensure consistent performance. For critical links, validate the link budget with appropriate test equipment and follow vendor guidelines for transceiver and patch panel mating.
