Optical Fibre Cable DeLOCK 86568 LC to ST Multi-mode OM3 2 m

The DeLOCK Optical Fibre Cable LC to ST Multi-mode OM3 (2 m) is a multi-mode patch cable with a 50 µm core diameter designed for full-duplex transmission between networking devices. It connects equipment such as switches, media converters and other fibre-enabled devices, offering a standardized OM3 specification suitable for high-speed short- to medium-range links.

Advantages

The cable uses LC and ST connectors for compatibility with common fibre ports and supports OM3 multi-mode specifications for improved bandwidth compared with lower-grade multimode fibres. Its 2 m length provides flexibility in rack and cabinet setups while the 50 µm core ensures compatibility with multimode transceivers and media converters for reliable data transfer.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switch to a media converter
• Patch connections in network racks and cabinets
• Short- to medium-distance multimode fibre links within buildings or data centers

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before installation. Insert the LC connector into the LC port of one device and the ST connector into the ST port of the other device until each connector seats securely. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for the appropriate fibre transceivers and duplex settings. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight loops, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools when required, and avoid exposing the cable to mechanical stress or liquids. For optimal performance, use matched OM3 transceivers and avoid mixing fibre grades in the same link.
