InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM3 25m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM3 25m is a multimode duplex patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It uses a 50/125 µm core/cladding construction and OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber to support high-bandwidth applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a 25 meter length. Both ends are terminated with LC connectors in a duplex configuration to provide full-duplex data transfer between network equipment, switches, servers and active components in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

This OM3 duplex cable offers low insertion loss and controlled attenuation suited for short to medium distance links within data centres and enterprise networks. The LC/LC terminations provide a compact connector footprint compatible with high-density patch panels and transceiver modules. The 50/125 µm multimode fiber is optimized for laser-based transmission, enabling reliable 10 Gbps performance while maintaining flexibility for cable routing and handling.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone and server connections
• Data centre patching between switches, routers and servers
• High-density rack and cabinet cabling with LC ports
• Short to medium multimode links in enterprise LAN environments

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3 (laser-optimized)
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Mode: Full duplex
• Length: 25 m
• Typical supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps over specified distances for OM3
• Jacket: Flexible outer jacket suitable for indoor installation (non-armoured)

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and excessive bending; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by multimode fiber best practices. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on network devices or patch panels until the latch clicks. Ensure correct polarity for duplex links so transmit and receive paths are matched between endpoints. After installation, verify link operation using appropriate testing equipment or by confirming network connectivity and throughput on connected devices.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or housing to avoid touching the ferrule; inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces before mating. Route the cable within trays or cable managers to prevent tight bends and mechanical strain. For permanent or mission-critical installations, consider using patch panels and strain-relief accessories and perform optical loss testing to confirm link performance.
