Fiber Optic Cable ProXtend SC-SC UPC OM3 Duplex 5M

The ProXtend SC-SC UPC OM3 Duplex 5M fiber optic cable is a multimode patch cable with a 50 µm (OM3) glass core and SC to SC UPC connectors. At 5 meters length it supports full-duplex data transmission over short to medium distances and is intended for high-speed, high-bandwidth network links where multimode fiber is suitable.

Advantages

The cable uses an OM3 multimode glass core for improved bandwidth and laser-optimized performance, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket for reduced toxic fumes in case of fire, and SC UPC connectors for stable, low-loss connections. It operates in a temperature range from -20 °C to 70 °C and is supplied as a duplex assembly for simultaneous transmit and receive paths.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and equipment interconnects
• Enterprise LAN backbone links over multimode fiber
• Short- to medium-distance high-speed links using OM3
• Fiber patch panels and switch-to-switch connections

How to use

Connect one SC connector to the transmitting port and the other to the receiving port on the devices or patch panels, ensuring correct polarity for full-duplex operation. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber. Clean connector endfaces before making connections to minimize insertion loss and ensure reliable performance.

Recommendations

Use this OM3 duplex SC-SC cable for short- to medium-distance high-speed multimode links, in structured cabling and data center patching. Store and route the cable to prevent tight bends and protect connector ferrules; use dust caps when connectors are not in use.
