SHIVERPEAKS S/CONN maximum connectivity LC/ST Duplex Multimode OM3 50/125µm Fibre Optic Patch Cable, Aqua, 5m (77945/3)

Connect high-speed fibre links in data centres and enterprise networks with this SHIVERPEAKS S/CONN maximum connectivity duplex patch cable. It features LC and ST connectors and a 5-metre aqua jacket, ideal for patching between switches, patch panels, and fibre distribution units where OM3 multimode performance is required.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3, 50/125µm core/cladding
• Connectors: LC to ST, duplex configuration
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket colour: Aqua
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Wavelengths: 850nm / 1300nm
• Insertion loss: < 0.3 dB per connector
• Return loss: > 30 dB
• Ferrule material: Ceramic
• Polarity: A-B (cross-over)
• Standards: TIA/EIA-568-C.3, ISO/IEC 11801

Why choose it

OM3 fibre supports 10GbE over longer distances than OM2, making this cable suitable for backbone and high-density patching. The aqua jacket provides quick identification of OM3 in mixed fibre environments, and the ceramic ferrules ensure reliable physical contact for stable optical performance.

Ideal use cases

• Data centre patching between LC and ST equipment
• Enterprise LAN backbone connections
• Storage area network (SAN) links
• Fibre channel and 10G Ethernet applications

Good to know

The duplex design includes two fibres in a single zip-cord style jacket, maintaining correct transmit/receive pairing. Polarity A-B ensures proper signal routing between transceivers. This cable is compliant with TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC structured cabling standards.
