DIGITUS LC to LC Fibre Optic Patch Cable, OM3 Multimode 50/125µm, Duplex, LSOH, 10m, Aqua

The DIGITUS DK-2533-10/3 is a duplex OM3 multimode fibre optic patch cable (50/125µm) with LC connectors on both ends, 10m long with an LSOH jacket. It is made for connecting switches, servers, media converters and fibre patch panels inside racks, server rooms and data centres over short multimode runs.

The jacket follows the standard colour code (aqua for OM3), so the cord is easy to identify in a mixed rack. LC is the small push-latch connector used on SFP/SFP+ optics, on most current switch and server ports and on high-density patch panels.

• 1× DIGITUS LC–LC OM3 duplex fibre patch cable, 10m
• Test report, single-packed in DIGITUS polybag (per manufacturer)
• Transceivers, couplers and cleaning tools are not included

• 50/125µm multimode is driven by 850 nm short-reach optics (1000BASE-SX, 10GBASE-SR and similar). OM3 is the bandwidth grade; the reach of your link depends on the transceivers and the whole channel.
• Duplex means two fibres — one transmits, one receives. If a link does not come up, the usual cause is crossed polarity: reverse the two connectors at one end.
• The LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen) jacket is meant for indoor use where fire safety matters: in a fire it gives off less smoke and no corrosive halogen gases.
• At 10m, it suits runs between racks, across a room or to a nearby wiring closet, where a pre-terminated cord saves on-site splicing.
• Each cord is single-packed in a DIGITUS polybag with a test report, per the manufacturer.

• Single-mode transceivers or single-mode panels (LX, LR, OS1/OS2) — multimode cable cannot be used on single-mode links.
• Ports with a different connector type — this cord has LC on both ends only; for SC or ST ports you need a cable with those connectors.
• Copper RJ45 ports — fibre needs an optical transceiver or media converter at each end.
• Outdoor, underground or direct-burial runs — this is an indoor patch cable.
