GoodConnections 10m Duplex Multimode OM3 50/125 SC/SC Fibre Optic Patch Cable, Aqua LSZH LW-810SC3

Fibre optic links often suffer from signal degradation and limited bandwidth when using outdated cabling, especially in high-density data centre environments. This 10-metre duplex multimode OM3 patch cable from GoodConnections solves that problem by delivering high-speed, reliable connectivity for 10G, 40G, and even 100G Ethernet applications over short distances. With SC connectors on both ends and a premium aqua LSZH jacket, it is the ideal choice for backbone cabling, server rooms, and storage area networks.

Who is it for

This cable is perfect for network administrators, data centre technicians, and IT professionals who need a robust, high-performance fibre optic link. It is also suitable for businesses upgrading their infrastructure to support bandwidth-intensive applications such as virtualization, cloud computing, and high-resolution video streaming.

Main features

• Duplex multimode OM3 fibre with 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter for high bandwidth
• SC to SC connectors for secure, push-pull connections
• 10-metre length provides flexibility in equipment placement
• Supports data rates up to 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, and 100 Gbps (distance-dependent)
• Low insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and high return loss (≥30 dB) for signal integrity
• LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket in aqua colour for safety and easy identification
• Crossed polarity (A-B) for proper transmit/receive alignment

Tips

To ensure optimal performance, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and keep connectors clean using a fibre optic cleaning kit. When connecting, verify that the polarity matches your equipment requirements (A-B crossed is standard for most switches and transceivers). For longer distances, consider single-mode fibre or higher-grade multimode options.
