High-Performance OM3 Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord LC/UPC to LC/UPC

High-Performance OM3 Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord LC/UPC to LC/UPC

The 3.0mm 50/125 OM3 Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord LC/UPC to LC/UPC is a high-performance optical cable designed to meet the demands of high-speed data transfer in modern IT and telecommunications environments. Built with OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber, this patch cord offers excellent bandwidth, low insertion loss, and superior reliability, making it ideal for applications such as 10G Ethernet, fiber channel, and other high-bandwidth systems.

OM3 Fiber – Optimized for 10G and Beyond

OM3 multimode fiber is engineered for optimal performance with laser-based transmission systems such as VCSELs (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers). With a core size of 50 microns and cladding diameter of 125 microns, OM3 fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmissions up to 300 meters and can also handle 40G and 100G over shorter distances. Its laser-optimized design ensures higher modal bandwidth and better performance compared to standard multimode fibers.

LC/UPC to LC/UPC Duplex Connectors

This patch cord features LC/UPC (Lucent Connector with Ultra Physical Contact) connectors on both ends in a duplex configuration, allowing simultaneous two-way communication. The LC connector is known for its compact size and is widely used in high-density networking environments. The UPC polish type minimizes signal reflection and maximizes performance by reducing back reflection, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed networks.

Robust 3.0mm Outer Jacket

The patch cord is built with a 3.0mm outer diameter jacket, offering extra durability and protection without sacrificing flexibility. This makes it ideal for installations where cables may be routed through tight spaces, raceways, or cable management systems. Typically constructed with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material, the jacket ensures a safer environment in case of fire, emitting minimal smoke and no toxic halogens.

Quality Construction and Performance

Internally, the cable is strengthened with aramid yarn (such as Kevlar) for enhanced tensile strength and resistance to physical stress during installation and operation. Each fiber strand is precisely aligned and factory-polished to ensure consistent optical performance, with low insertion loss and return loss values.

Every patch cord undergoes individual testing to meet or exceed industry standards, including TIA/EIA and IEC specifications. This ensures optimal performance and peace of mind in mission-critical network deployments.

Ideal Applications

The 3.0mm OM3 LC/UPC to LC/UPC fiber optic patch cord is suitable for:

• Data centers and server farms
• Storage Area Networks (SANs)
• Enterprise backbone and distribution networks
• High-speed campus networks
• Broadcast and video transmission systems
• Cross-connects in racks or patch panels

Summary

In conclusion, the 3.0mm 50/125 OM3 Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord LC/UPC to LC/UPC provides a dependable, high-performance solution for high-speed data connectivity. With its compact LC connectors, OM3 laser-optimized fiber, and rugged construction, it is perfectly suited for demanding environments that require speed, reliability, and future-ready infrastructure.
