OEM SC-LC UPC 20m OM3 Multimode Fiber Patch Cord

OEM SC-LC OM3 Patch Cord

The OEM SC-LC OM3 Fiber assembly facilitates high-speed data transfer within enterprise-grade networking environments. This 20-meter duplex assembly utilizes 50/125 micron laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. It serves as a critical link between network switches, fiber patch panels, and server interfaces. The cabling meets TIA/EIA 492AAAC standards for high-bandwidth applications. Infrastructure engineers utilize this grade of glass to bridge the gap between legacy SC hardware and current LC-based SFP+ transceivers. The 20-meter length offers flexibility for inter-rack connections in large data centers. This medium carries 10Gbps signals up to 300 meters. It remains backwards compatible with legacy OM2 systems while providing a migration path for future hardware upgrades.

Key Features

• High-Performance Polish
  The UPC finish on both connectors minimizes back reflection and reduces insertion loss across the link.

• Optical Construction

  • 50/125 micron core and cladding ratio for optimal light propagation
  • Ceramic ferrules ensure precise alignment of fiber cores
  • 850nm and 1300nm wavelength compatibility

• Mechanical Durability
  A zipcord jacket design provides independent protection for both fiber strands while maintaining flexibility.

• Industry Compliance

  • RoHS compliant materials for environmental safety
  • Meets IEEE 802.3ae standards for 10GBASE-SR
  • Aqua-colored jacket for standardized OM3 identification

The assembly consists of two fiber strands in a zipcord configuration. Each strand incorporates a protective coating to resist mechanical stress. The outer jacket typically uses OFNR or LSZH materials to comply with fire safety regulations. Strain relief boots protect the fiber at the connector junction. This design prevents signal degradation caused by tight bends or cable tension. Consequently, the cable maintains a high level of performance even in dense cable management systems. This optical link operates primarily at the 850nm wavelength. It supports an effective modal bandwidth of 2000 MHz·km. Network professionals rely on these specifications to calculate optical link budgets accurately. The cable undergoes rigorous testing for insertion and return loss before deployment. It withstands repeated mating cycles without significant performance loss. The SC connector utilizes a push-pull locking mechanism for secure seating. The LC connector employs a small form factor design with a squeeze-release clip. These connectors suit high-density environments where space is limited. The 125-micron cladding provides the necessary refractive index to keep light within the 50-micron core. This total internal reflection allows for low-latency data transport across the data center floor.
