Q1: What is the main application of this LC to ST OM3 patch cord?
It is mainly used in multimode networks such as data centers, FTTD (Fiber to the Desk), and enterprise LANs requiring stable 10Gbps transmission.
Q2: What performance does OM3 fiber provide?
OM3 is optimized for 850 nm transmission, supporting up to 10Gbps over 300 meters, making it suitable for short-to-medium distance high-speed links.
Q3: Why choose LC to ST connectors?
LC connectors are compact and save panel space, while ST connectors provide quick bayonet-style coupling. The hybrid design ensures compatibility across different equipment interfaces.
Q4: What is the difference between UPC-polished LC/ST connectors and APC?
UPC connectors ensure return loss ≥50 dB, ideal for multimode applications. APC is not typically used in multimode systems, as its angle polish is designed for single-mode low-reflection requirements.
Q5: What advantages does the 2.0mm jacket provide?
The lightweight 2.0mm jacket makes installation easier while offering adequate durability for data center and enterprise environments.
Q6: Can the patch cord be customized?
Yes. Length, jacket color, labeling, and connector type can all be customized based on project needs.
Q7: How is the patch cord tested before shipment?
Each assembly undergoes 100% optical testing for insertion loss and return loss to ensure compliance with industry standards.
Q8: What is the typical delivery time?
Standard lengths are usually available in stock, while customized versions require 3–7 working days.
