ACT 2 meter Multimode 50/125 OM3 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors

The ACT 2 meter Multimode 50/125 OM3 Polarity Twist fiber cable is a duplex fibre patch cord with 2x LC connectors on each end, designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and data centre environments. With a 50 µm core and OM3 graded multimode rating, the cable supports increased bandwidth and reliable signal integrity over typical short- to medium-range links. The polarity twist design simplifies connector orientation and helps maintain correct signal mapping between transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

This multimode fiber cable combines OM3 performance with a compact LC duplex interface to deliver consistent attenuation and modal bandwidth suitable for modern networking equipment. The 2 meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-panel connections while avoiding excess slack. The polarity twist feature reduces manual re-patching by preserving TX/RX alignment and simplifies installation checks. The cable's construction is tailored for indoor use in telecom rooms and data centre aisles where organized, low-loss connections are required.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, servers and storage in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panel to transceiver links in network cabinets
• High-density cabling environments where LC duplex connectors are used
• Short- to medium-distance multimode links requiring OM3 bandwidth

• Application: Indoor patching and structured cabling

How to use

Install the ACT multimode 50/125 OM3 cable by inserting each LC duplex connector into compatible LC ports on transceivers, patch panels or switch modules. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating to avoid insertion loss; use a fibre inspection tool or lint-free wipes and approved cleaning fluid where available. Route the cable through appropriate cable management paths to avoid tight bends — maintain bend radius recommended for multimode fibre — and secure with cable ties or management clips without compressing the jacket or connectors. Verify link continuity and correct polarity using available network test equipment or by confirming link LEDs on connected devices.

Recommendations

For best long-term performance, store and handle the cable in a clean environment, clean connector endfaces before each connection, avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and use OM3-optimised transceivers for links that require higher bandwidth or longer reach within multimode infrastructure.
