Apc OM3 Multimode SC-APC Patch Cord

Apc SC-APC OM3 Cord

The Apc OM3 Patch Cord facilitates high-speed data transfer within 10Gbps local area networks. This cable utilizes 50/125 micron laser-optimized multimode fiber to maintain signal integrity over distances up to 300 meters. The SC connectors employ an Angled Physical Contact (APC) finish to maximize optical performance. This specific polish reduces back reflections by directing light into the cladding rather than back toward the source. High-density data centers require this precision to maintain low bit-error rates in sensitive optical circuits.

The aqua-colored jacket identifies the OM3 classification according to TIA/EIA standards. This Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material limits toxic gas emission during combustion. It meets stringent fire safety requirements for vertical shafts and data halls. Each termination undergoes rigorous factory testing for insertion loss and return loss. The ceramic ferrules provide precise alignment for the fiber cores during mating. This alignment minimizes attenuation at the connection points across the entire network link.

The 50-micron core supports Effective Modal Bandwidth of 2000 MHz·km at the 850nm wavelength. This capacity allows for efficient 40G and 100G transmission using parallel optics in short-reach applications. The cable maintains compatibility with existing OM2 infrastructure while providing a migration path to faster speeds. A primary coating protects the glass from moisture and physical stress during handling. Aramid yarn strength members prevent stretching during installation through conduits. These components ensure long-term reliability in enterprise networking environments.

The SC connector features a push-pull latching system for secure engagement. It prevents accidental disconnects in high-vibration environments or crowded patch panels. Each jumper includes a detailed test report verifying compliance with optical standards. This documentation supports network certification processes for IT infrastructure projects. The 125-micron cladding provides the necessary structural support for the internal glass core.
