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

The Lindy OM3 Fibre Optic Cable 3.0m LC - ST Duplex is a multimode patch cable designed for high-speed networking links. With a 50 µm core diameter and full duplex configuration, this cable connects devices that use LC and ST connectors and is suitable for data centre, enterprise and campus network environments. The cable's turquoise jacket identifies it as OM3 grade multimode fibre and its construction is intended for reliable signal transmission over short to medium distances.

Advantages

This OM3 LC - ST duplex cable provides consistent multimode performance with a 50 µm core diameter and is built for full duplex communication. The dual-connector design allows direct connection between LC-terminated and ST-terminated equipment without additional adapters. The 3.0 m length covers typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel runs while the durable jacket and connector strain relief offer mechanical protection and ease of handling.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and short-distance multimode links
• Connecting network switches, transceivers and patch panels with LC and ST ports
• Enterprise and campus network backbone and horizontal cabling segments
• Lab and test environments requiring OM3 multimode performance

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Configuration: Duplex (full duplex capable)
• Connectors: LC connector on one end, ST connector on the other end
• Length: 3.0 metres
• Jacket colour: Turquoise (OM3 standard identification)

How to use

Identify the LC and ST ports on your devices and route the 3.0 m cable keeping bend radius recommendations in mind to avoid signal loss. Insert the LC connector into the LC port with a gentle push until it clicks, and align and insert the ST connector into the ST port, securing it with the bayonet twist. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain optimal optical performance. For full duplex links, use both fibres in the duplex cable as intended by your transceivers or network interfaces.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled without sharp bends, avoid crushing or repeated tight kinks, and use dust caps or clean the connectors before connection. Choose this OM3 LC - ST duplex cable for reliable multimode links at short to medium distances where LC to ST connectivity is required.
