Description
Duplex Multimode Fiber Lead for Rack and Cabinet Links
The SC-SC APC OM3 Patch is a 15 m duplex multimode assembly for 850 nm and 1300 nm links. Two SC/APC connectors terminate a 50/125 µm OM3 fiber pair. The angled polish holds return loss at 55 dB or better and keeps insertion loss under 0.3 dB per mated pair.
OM3 glass carries 1G, 10G and 40G rates across short-reach spans. The 15 m length suits rack-to-rack jumps and panel-to-switch connections. Zirconia ceramic ferrules with an 8° APC end face reduce back-reflection in high-bit-rate paths.
A 2.0 mm zipcord jacket fits high-density trays and 1U enclosures. The aqua LSZH sheath identifies OM3 multimode runs and limits smoke in enclosed cabinets. Bend radius holds at 10 mm static and 20 mm under load. Operating temperature spans -20 °C to +70 °C.
Key Features
SC/APC Angled Connectors
8° APC polish delivers ≥55 dB return loss and ≤0.3 dB insertion loss per mated pair.OM3 50/125 µm Multimode Fiber
The laser-optimized core supports 10GBASE-SR links to 300 m at 850 nm.Duplex Zipcord Construction
- Two fibers share one jacket for TX/RX pairs.
- Separates at the connectors for polarity control.
- Fits SC duplex adapters and transceiver ports.
15 Metre Assembly Length
The run bridges adjacent racks without intermediate couplings.LSZH Aqua Jacket
Low-smoke zero-halogen compound marks the OM3 run and limits toxic emissions.Ceramic Ferrules
Precision zirconia ferrules hold alignment through 1000 mating cycles with ≤0.2 dB change.Wide Wavelength Window
The fiber operates at 850 nm and 1300 nm for 1G, 10G and 40G short-reach applications.

What’s in the Box
15 m duplex SC-SC APC OM3 multimode fiber assembly
Dust caps on both connector ends
Why Choose This Multimode Lead
Angled APC end faces suppress back-reflection in 10G and 40G short-reach links.
OM3 glass supports 300 m at 10GBASE-SR over 850 nm optics.
The 15 m length reaches adjacent cabinets without extra couplings that add loss.
LSZH jacket suits enclosed cabinets where PVC smoke would be a hazard.
Aqua sheath lets technicians identify OM3 ports without tracing.
