Fibre optic cable Helos 10m OM3 SC/SC

The Helos 10m OM3 SC/SC fibre optic cable is a multimode patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM3 multimode specification, this 10-meter cable supports full duplex SC-to-SC connections, providing consistent signal integrity for links within data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode construction delivers low attenuation and optimized bandwidth for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed applications over moderate distances. SC duplex connectors offer a durable push-pull mating mechanism with good repeatability for frequent connections. The 10 m length balances reach and manageability, enabling tidy cable routing without excessive slack. Designed for compatibility with standard multimode transceivers, the cable provides stable insertion loss performance and predictable link behavior.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, patch panels and servers inside data centers
• High-speed Ethernet links such as 10GbE over multimode fiber
• A/V signal distribution and professional AV installations
• Fiber-backed office networks and campus backbone segments

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Length: 10 meters
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical use: Patch cable for indoor structured cabling

How to use

Connect one SC connector to the transmitting port of the network device and the other SC connector to the receiving port on the paired device, ensuring polarity is correct for full duplex operation. Route the cable through cable management pathways or trays to avoid tight bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. When making connections, keep connector endfaces clean and capped when not in use to minimize contamination and ensure reliable optical performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this OM3 SC/SC cable with compatible multimode transceivers and avoid exceeding recommended installation bend radii. Regularly inspect and clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Store unused cables coiled loosely and protected from mechanical stress and sharp edges.
