Ekivalan OM3 Duplex Patch Cable, 50/125 µm, LC/ST, Aqua, 1.0 m COZOM3LCST2SA0010A

Data center technicians and network engineers use this Ekivalan OM3 duplex patch cable to connect LC and ST ports in high-speed backbone links. The aqua jacket identifies it as laser-optimized multimode fiber for 10GbE and short-reach 40/100GbE applications.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connectors: LC duplex to ST duplex, ceramic ferrule
• Length: 1.0 m
• Jacket: LSZH, aqua, duplex zipcord construction
• Insertion loss: ≤ 0.3 dB
• Return loss: ≥ 30 dB
• Attenuation: 3.5 dB/km @ 850 nm, 1.5 dB/km @ 1300 nm
• Bandwidth: 1500 MHz·km @ 850 nm, 500 MHz·km @ 1300 nm
• Operating temperature: -20°C to +70°C
• Polarity: A-B (cross-over)

Why choose it

OM3 fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters, making it ideal for backbone and data center interconnects. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, and the duplex zipcord design allows easy separation for individual connectors.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting switches, servers, and storage in data centers
• 10GbE backbone links in enterprise networks
• Short-reach 40GbE/100GbE parallel optics (with MPO breakout)
• Legacy ST equipment integration

Good to know

The LC connector is a small form factor with a latch, while ST uses a bayonet twist-lock. This cable is compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.3, ISO/IEC 11801, and EN 50173-1 standards.
