OEM SC-LC UPC OM3 5m Multimode Duplex Fiber Patch Cord

OEM SC-LC 5m OM3 Cable

The OEM SC-LC OM3 Fiber provides high-speed data transmission for enterprise networking environments. This laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 300 meters. It operates primarily at the 850nm wavelength using Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs). The 50/125 micron core construction ensures efficient light propagation with minimal modal dispersion. Network engineers deploy these 5-meter patch cords for interconnecting high-speed switches and storage area networks.

The SC connector features a square plastic housing with a push-pull coupling mechanism. It utilizes a 2.5mm zirconia ceramic ferrule for precise alignment of the fiber cores. This design ensures repeatability and long-term stability in high-vibration environments. On the opposite end, the LC connector offers a small form factor solution. Its 1.25mm ferrule allows for double the port density compared to standard connectors. The LC interface uses a secure latching mechanism similar to an RJ45 connector.

Both connectors feature an Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish. This specific end-face geometry increases the contact area between fibers. It results in a return loss exceeding 35dB and insertion loss below 0.3dB. These metrics are critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-bandwidth 10G, 40G, and 100G networks. The duplex configuration enables simultaneous two-way data traffic through two distinct fiber strands. A removable clip holds the connectors together to maintain correct polarity during installation.

The cable jacket consists of Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material. This compound limits the release of toxic and corrosive gases during combustion. It complies with safety standards for installation in poorly ventilated areas or data centers. The aqua color of the outer sheath follows the TIA-598-C coding standard for OM3 fiber. Internal aramid yarn provides the necessary tensile strength to withstand pulling forces during cable routing. Consequently, the cable maintains its structural integrity during complex runs through overhead trays.

Every cable undergoes rigorous factory testing before deployment. Technicians use interferometers to verify the geometry of the fiber end-face. This process ensures the radius of curvature and apex offset meet industry standards. The 5-meter length provides sufficient slack for routing through cable management systems within a single rack. This patch cord maintains full backward compatibility with OM2 systems while offering a path for future upgrades. It functions reliably within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.
