Lindy 3.0m OM3 LC - SC Duplex InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m Turquoise

The Lindy 3.0m OM3 LC - SC Duplex fibre optic cable (MPN 46392, EAN 4002888463928) is a 3.0 metre multimode OM3 patch cable with LC and SC terminations configured for full duplex operation. It uses a 50 µm core diameter multimode fibre designed to support high-speed data transmission in structured networks, data centres and telecommunication applications. The cable assembly provides standard LC duplex connector at one end and SC simplex-style connector at the other end, enabling connection between LC-terminated equipment and SC-terminated panels or transceivers.

Advantages

The OM3 fibre specification supports laser-optimised multimode performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications over moderate distances. The 50 µm core size delivers consistent modal bandwidth and low insertion loss when used with compatible OM3 components. The LC connector offers a compact form factor for high-density patching, while the SC connector provides a robust, snap-in interface commonly used in racks and patch panels. Full duplex wiring ensures separate transmit and receive channels for reliable bidirectional communication.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centres and enterprise networks
• Connections between LC-terminated transceivers and SC patch panels or equipment
• Multimode fibre patching in telecom rooms and server cabinets
• Short- to medium-distance high-bandwidth optical links within buildings

How to use

Identify the LC and SC ends and align connectors with the corresponding ports on the devices or patch panels. Insert the LC duplex connector into the LC port until it clicks, and insert the SC connector into the SC adapter or receptacle until it seats securely. Ensure transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) channels are matched correctly between equipment ends for full duplex operation. Handle the fibre cable by the connectors or outer jacket; avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer bend-radius recommendations and protect connectors with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use clean connector endfaces and suitable fibre cleaning tools before connections. Verify compatibility of transceivers and patch panels with OM3 multimode fibre. In high-density installations, label both ends with location and channel information and route the cable to avoid sharp bends, crush points and excessive tensile stress.
