Fibre optic cable Synergy 21 100m OM3 LC - LC

The Synergy 21 100m OM3 LC - LC fibre optic cable is a multimode duplex cable with a 50 µm core designed for high-speed data transmission in structured networks. With LC connectors on both ends and a 100 metre length, this cable provides extended reach for inter-rack and intra-rack connections while preserving signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and similar applications that rely on OM3 performance.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable offers low insertion loss and consistent attenuation across its length, supporting reliable full duplex communication. The LC connectors deliver a compact footprint and easy mating for high-density patch panels. The 50 µm core diameter and OM3 specification enable higher modal bandwidth compared with legacy multimode types, improving performance for short- to medium-range high-bandwidth links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panel to switch or transceiver connections
• High-density network cabinets and rack installations
• Multimode fibre backbone segments and horizontal cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 100 m
• Polishing: UPC (typical for LC multimode assemblies)
• Suitable for full duplex communication
• Typical applications: 10GbE and other short- to medium-range high-bandwidth links

How to use

Route the cable following the planned pathway in racks or cable trays, avoiding sharp bends and stretch tension that can damage the fibre. Connect each LC connector to the corresponding LC port on patch panels, transceivers or network switches, ensuring proper alignment and secure latching. For best performance, keep endfaces clean and capped when not in use; inspect and clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating. Verify link operation using appropriate testing equipment and confirm expected attenuation and signal levels for OM3 multimode installations.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radius guidelines (typically 10× the cable diameter unless otherwise specified), avoid kinking, and store spare cable neatly coiled. Use dust caps during storage and transport, and perform endface cleaning before every connection to ensure consistent optical performance.
