SECOMP STANDARD Fiber Optic Patch Cable 50/125µm OM3, LC/LC, Turquoise, 3 m S1803

High-speed data transmission in modern networks demands reliable, low-loss connectivity, especially where bandwidth-intensive applications like cloud computing, video streaming, and virtualization are the norm. The SECOMP STANDARD OM3 fiber optic patch cable tackles this challenge head-on, providing a robust 50/125µm multimode link that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and even 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet for shorter reaches. With LC connectors on both ends and a vibrant turquoise LSZH jacket, it’s an ideal choice for data centers, enterprise backbones, and high-performance computing environments.

Who is it for

Network administrators, IT integrators, and data center technicians who need a dependable, standards-compliant fiber patch cord for patching between switches, servers, and patch panels. It’s particularly suited for installations requiring OM3 multimode fiber with LC connectivity, where low insertion loss and high return loss are critical for maintaining signal integrity.

Main features

• OM3 multimode fiber with 50/125µm core/cladding diameter, optimized for 850nm VCSEL-based systems.
• Duplex LC/UPC connectors on both ends for secure, low-loss connections.
• Turquoise LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for safety in enclosed spaces and easy identification of OM3.
• Excellent optical performance: insertion loss < 0.3 dB, return loss > 30 dB.
• Supports 10 Gbps Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gbps for short-reach applications.
• RoHS compliant and meets IEC 60793-2-10 Type A1a.2 and TIA/EIA-492AAAC standards.
• 3-meter length ideal for rack-to-rack or intra-rack patching.

Tips

For best performance, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius (typically 30 mm for this type). Use dust caps on connectors when not in use to prevent contamination. Pair with OM3-compatible transceivers and ensure proper polarity (A-B duplex) for duplex links.
