Fibre optic cable Diverse Goobay LC–LC OM3 0.5 m, 50 µm, full duplex, turquoise

Diverse Goobay LC–LC OM3 0.5 m fibre optic cable is a multimode duplex patch cable with a 50 µm core diameter designed for short-range high-speed links. The cable features LC duplex connectors on both ends and a turquoise, halogen-free flame-retardant jacket. It is intended for reliable interconnects in data centres, network racks, office environments and industrial applications where OM3 multimode performance is required. Each cable is delivered with a test protocol confirming optical performance.

Advantages

This LC–LC OM3 cable supports full-duplex multimode transmission and provides stable, low-loss connections for high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand links. The PUR jacket offers flexibility and mechanical protection while being halogen-free and flame-retardant for safer installation in confined spaces. Removable dust caps protect LC connectors during storage and handling, and integrated bend protection reduces the risk of fibre breakage. The short 0.5 m length is suited for patching inside racks and between adjacent devices where minimal slack and neat cabling are important.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panels and network racks
• InfiniBand and Fibre Channel interconnects
• Office and industrial network installations requiring OM3 performance

• Delivered with optical test protocol

How to use

Inspect the LC connectors and remove dust caps before insertion. Align each LC connector with the corresponding LC port and push gently until the latch engages. Use the 0.5 m length to connect adjacent ports in patch panels, switches or transceivers; avoid excessive bending near the connectors and respect the fibre's minimum bend radius. For disconnection, depress the latch and pull straight out to prevent damaging the connector ferrule.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbit/s performance, use this OM3 cable within recommended ranges (up to approximately 300 m for OM3 in general specifications; specific device limits may vary). Keep connectors clean and store dust caps when not in use. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, crushing or exposure to heat sources; in installations requiring fire-safe cabling routes, verify compatibility with local fire codes despite the halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket.
