Fiber Cable ProXtend LC-SC UPC OM3 Duplex 20M

The ProXtend LC-SC UPC OM3 Duplex 20M fiber cable is a 20-metre multimode patch cable with a 50 µm core diameter, LC connector on one end and SC connector on the other. It supports full-duplex communication for high-speed, high-bandwidth links over short to medium distances and is jacketed with LSZH material for reduced smoke and toxic emissions. The cable is suitable for multimode OM3 networks and is specified for operation in temperatures from -20 °C to 70 °C.

Advantages

This ProXtend fiber cable provides reliable multimode transmission with OM3 performance for link applications that require high data rates. The LC and SC UPC connectors ensure compatibility with common transceivers and patch panels, while the duplex design enables simultaneous bidirectional communication. The LSZH jacket reduces risk in enclosed spaces and the 50 µm core supports standard multimode optics.

Suitable for

• Data centre and server room patching
• Connections between switches, routers and transceivers
• High-speed multimode links in enterprise LANs
• Short- to medium-distance backbone runs

How to use

Install the cable by connecting the LC end to the appropriate LC port on a transceiver or patch panel and the SC end to the SC port on the corresponding device or panel. Ensure both ends are clean and free of dust before mating to avoid signal loss. Route the cable following standard bend radius recommendations for multimode fiber and secure it with suitable cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Before installation, inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force; follow the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius. Use the OM3 cable for compatible multimode optics (e.g., 10GBASE-SR, 40G/100G short reach optics) and verify link budget and connector types match your equipment.
