DESCRIPTION
The LC UPC to SC UPC OM3 50/125µm Duplex 2.0mm Fiber Patch Cable is engineered for reliable multimode connectivity in modern networks. Designed with OM3 50/125 µm fiber, it enables high-speed transmission up to 10G over 300 meters at 850 nm, and supports 40G/100G Ethernet with parallel optics. Equipped with compact LC and industry-standard SC connectors, this duplex 2.0 mm patch cord provides robust, low-loss interconnects for enterprise networks, SANs, and data center environments.
- Hybrid Connector Design: Combines LC’s compact footprint with SC’s widespread compatibility. Any other connector type at another side upon request.
- OM3 Optimized Fiber: Designed for 850 nm laser transmission, OM3 supports 10G links up to 300 m and 40/100G Ethernet over parallel optics.
- Flexible Options: Simplex or Duplex version and Fan-out on request.
- Consistent Optical Performance: With low insertion loss and stable return loss, this patch cord ensures high reliability in demanding network environments.
- Installation Versatility: Offered with PVC or LSZH jackets, the cable adapts to data centers, enterprise offices, and safety-regulated environments.

- What is the maximum distance supported by OM3 fiber?
OM3 supports 10G up to 300 m and 40/100G up to 100 m, depending on transceiver type.
- Is OM3 fiber backward compatible with OM2/OM1?
Yes, OM3 can interoperate with older multimode systems but with reduced distance performance.
- Why choose LC to SC connectors?
LC provides compact connections, while SC remains widely used in legacy and telecom networks.
- What jacket options are available?
Standard PVC for general use and LSZH for low-smoke, halogen-free environments.
- Can the cable be customized in length?
Yes, lengths from 0.5 m to 100 m or more can be supplied on request.
- What is the difference between UPC and APC connectors?
UPC has a flat polish with low insertion loss, while APC has an angled polish for improved return loss, mainly in singlemode.
- Can this be used for outdoor installation?
The standard version is for indoor use; armored or PE-jacketed options are available for outdoor applications.
- Is this cable compliant with industry standards?
Yes, it complies with IEC, TIA/EIA, and RoHS requirements for optical fiber cabling.
