SHIVERPEAKS S/CONN maximum connectivity LC/SC Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable, OM3 50/125µm, Aqua, 5.0 m (77955/3)

Data center technicians and network engineers often need a reliable, high-performance fiber optic link for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. This SHIVERPEAKS S/CONN maximum connectivity duplex patch cable provides exactly that, with LC to SC connectors and OM3 multimode fiber for distances up to 300 meters at 10GbE. The aqua jacket and LSZH material make it easy to identify and safe for indoor use.

Why choose it

The OM3 fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters, making it ideal for backbone and high-density patching. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, a critical safety feature for enclosed spaces. The aqua color follows industry standards for OM3, simplifying identification and maintenance. Precision-polished connectors ensure low insertion loss and high return loss for stable, error-free transmission.

Ideal use cases

• Data center interconnects between switches, servers, and storage
• Storage area networks (SANs) requiring high bandwidth
• Enterprise LAN backbone connections
• 10GbE links in campus or building networks

Good to know

This cable is duplex with crossed polarity (A-B), matching standard transceiver configurations. It is compatible with all OM3 and OM4 systems, though performance is rated for OM3 distances. The LSZH jacket meets IEC 60332-1 flame retardancy and IEC 60754 halogen-free requirements, suitable for public and high-occupancy buildings.
