Description
Multimode Duplex Jumper for 10G Links
The OM3 SC LC patch cord is a 5-metre duplex multimode assembly that connects SC/UPC and LC/UPC interfaces. It uses 50/125 µm OM3 fibre with a laser-optimised core for 10 Gb/s transmission over 300 metres. Aqua LSZH jacketing identifies the multimode grade and limits smoke emission.
Each connector uses a ceramic ferrule with UPC polish. Maximum insertion loss reaches 0.15 dB per connector, and minimum return loss measures 35 dB. The 1.8 mm twin-fibre zip cord carries aramid strength members and a low-smoke zero-halogen outer jacket.
Typical deployment links SFP+ transceivers, patch panels and switches inside data centres and campus cabinets. The cord operates from -20 °C to 70 °C and meets IEC 61753-1 and TIA-568 polarity requirements. Factory termination removes field polishing from the installation schedule.
Key Features
OM3 Laser-Optimised Fibre
The 50/125 µm core supports 10 Gb/s Ethernet to 300 m and 40/100 Gb/s to 100 m with VCSEL sources.SC/UPC to LC/UPC Termination
- Ceramic ferrules with UPC polish on both ends
- Maximum insertion loss of 0.15 dB per connector
- Minimum return loss of 35 dB
LSZH Twin-Fibre Jacket
The 1.8 mm zip cord uses low-smoke zero-halogen material for indoor plenum and riser routes.5-Metre Reach
The 5 m length spans adjacent racks, patch panels and overhead cable trays without excess slack.Aqua Grade Identification
The aqua jacket colour marks the assembly as OM3 multimode for quick port mapping.Factory Testing
Each assembly is optically tested and supplied with an insertion loss record before dispatch.Duplex Polarity
The cord follows TIA-568 Type-B crossed polarity for duplex LC and SC transceiver pairs.
