OEM SC-LC UPC 3m OM3 Multi-mode Fiber Patch Cord

SC-LC OM3 Patch Cord

The OEM SC-LC OM3 Fiber patch cable facilitates high-speed data transmission in local area networks. This 3-meter assembly utilizes laser-optimized 50/125 micrometer multimode glass. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 300 meters at 850nm. The duplex configuration ensures simultaneous bidirectional communication across data center links. Each connector features high-quality ceramic ferrules for precise alignment.

The SC to LC interface bridges different hardware generations or port densities. Network engineers utilize these cables to connect switches, servers, and storage area networks. The Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) finish minimizes back reflection and optimizes return loss. This ensures stable performance in sensitive optical circuits. Engineers specify OM3 grade fiber for its 2000 MHz*km effective modal bandwidth. This exceeds the capabilities of standard legacy cabling. The 3-meter length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or top-of-rack deployments. A Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket protects the internal glass. This material reduces toxic gas emissions during thermal decomposition. It meets strict fire safety standards for indoor installations.

Rigorous testing confirms low insertion loss across all units. This maximizes the optical power budget available for the network link. The cable construction includes aramid yarn strength members. These components prevent damage during installation pulls. The connectors feature a clip-on duplex design for easy handling. Compatibility extends to various SFP+ and QSFP transceivers. This cable works within TIA-568-C.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 industrial standards. It supports legacy 1GbE and 40/100GbE short-reach applications. The aqua-colored jacket identifies the OM3 classification according to standard coding. Each cable undergoes individual inspection for end-face geometry and optical clarity. This ensures immediate deployment readiness in mission-critical infrastructures.

The ceramic ferrules utilize zirconia for high durability and repeatable matings. This material resists thermal expansion and mechanical wear. The SC connector uses a push-pull mechanism for secure latching. The LC connector provides a small form factor design for high-density patch panels. Both connectors utilize a duplex clip to maintain polarity. Optical fibers consist of a high-purity silica core and cladding. The 125μm cladding diameter ensures compatibility with standard termination tools. The graded-index profile minimizes modal dispersion. This allows for higher data rates over longer distances compared to step-index fibers. Environmental stability remains a priority for this cable. It operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. The LSZH outer sheath protects against moisture and minor abrasions. This cable facilitates the transition from legacy 1G systems to modern 10G architectures. It provides a cost-effective solution for short-reach optical interconnects. Procurement managers choose this product for its adherence to RoHS and REACH environmental regulations.
