ACT 7 meter Multimode 50/125 OM3 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors

The ACT 7 meter Multimode 50/125 OM3 fiber optic cable with LC connectors is designed for high-speed short-range data transmission in structured networks and data center environments. The cable uses a 50 µm core multimode OM3 specification to support high bandwidth and reliable performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and similar applications. Each end features two LC connectors and a polarity twist design to maintain correct channel mapping and reduce insertion loss during installation.

Advantages

This multimode OM3 cable provides low attenuation and stable transmission characteristics across typical short-range links. The LC-to-LC connections deliver compact connector interfaces suitable for high-density panels and switch ports. The polarity twist arrangement simplifies pairing and minimizes the risk of swapped channels, helping to preserve signal integrity. The 7-meter length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or cabinet-to-cabinet runs without excess slack.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within data centers and server rooms
• Patch cabling between switches, patch panels and transceivers
• High-bandwidth storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• Short- to medium-range multimode fiber runs in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connectors: LC on both ends, duplex (two fibers)
• Cable length: 7 meters
• Polarity: Twist design for correct channel mapping
• Typical applications: 10 Gb/s Ethernet and equivalent high-bandwidth links

How to use

Route the fiber cable between the designated ports on networking equipment or patch panels, ensuring that the LC connectors are fully inserted until they click into place. Confirm correct polarity by following the polarity twist marking or diagram provided with the cable and by testing the link with an appropriate fiber tester or network diagnostics tool. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation or damage to the fiber core.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before use and clean with approved fiber cleaning tools if contamination is visible. Use appropriate cable management and strain relief to prevent stress on the connectors. For longer runs or different performance requirements, evaluate singlemode or higher-grade OM4/OM5 multimode options.
