Glasvezelkabel Alantec FOC-LCLC-5MMD-3-3 OM3 3 m LC–LC turquoise, 50 µm, full-duplex

Alantec FOC-LCLC-5MMD-3-3 OM3 3 m LC–LC Turquoise is a multimode fibre optic patch cable with a 50 µm core diameter designed for full-duplex data transmission. This pre-assembled LC-to-LC cable complies with OM3 multimode performance and is identified by its turquoise jacket. It is intended for high-speed multimode environments such as data centres, server-to-switch links and storage area network connections where low-loss, short-range optical links are required.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode construction offers optimized bandwidth for 850 nm wavelength transmission and supports high data rates over short to medium distances. LC connectors on both ends provide a compact connection footprint and reliable mating for dense patch panels. The 3 m length and full-duplex configuration make the cable ready for immediate deployment in patching and interconnect scenarios without additional termination. The turquoise jacket simplifies identification of OM3 specification in mixed-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching between network switches and servers
• High-speed multimode links in enterprise LANs
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• InfiniBand and other short-range optical communication systems
• Fiber optic patch panels and cross-connect points

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode optical fibre (OM3)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connectors: LC to LC (both ends terminated)
• Length: 3 m
• Transmission mode: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Turquoise (OM3 identification)

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors and the patch panel or device ports for dust and contamination before connecting. For best results, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre optic cleaning tools, align the LC connectors with the equipment ports and insert until the latch engages. Use both strands for full-duplex communication, ensuring transmit and receive pairs are connected to the corresponding ports. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre.

Recommendations

Handle the cable gently and avoid kinks or tight loops; store and route it in accordance with fibre optic installation practices. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated, and perform endface inspection and cleaning as part of routine maintenance. For custom lengths or different connector types, consider ordering factory-terminated assemblies to ensure performance and compatibility with your network equipment.
