Ekivalan OM3 Duplex Patch Cable LC to ST 50/125 µm Aqua 5 m COZOM3LCST2SA0050A

Connect LC-equipped switches and transceivers to ST patch panels or legacy infrastructure in data centres and campus networks. This 5-metre duplex patch cable uses OM3 multimode fibre to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 metres and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 metres, making it a reliable choice for high-speed backbone links.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connectors: LC duplex to ST duplex, ceramic ferrule, PC polish
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket: Aqua LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Insertion loss: ≤ 0.3 dB
• Return loss: ≥ 30 dB
• Attenuation: ≤ 3.5 dB/km at 850 nm, ≤ 1.5 dB/km at 1300 nm
• Operating temperature: -20°C to +70°C

Why choose it

The aqua LSZH jacket is easy to identify in dense cabling and emits low smoke and zero halogen in case of fire, improving safety in enclosed spaces. Ceramic ferrules and PC polish ensure stable optical performance with minimal signal loss.

Ideal use cases

• Linking LC-based switches to ST-terminated patch panels
• Extending high-speed connections in data centres
• Upgrading legacy multimode links to OM3 for 10G/40G/100G

Good to know

OM3 fibre is optimised for 850 nm VCSEL lasers, delivering efficient performance for short-reach high-bandwidth applications. The duplex design supports bidirectional communication over two fibres.
