Equip LC to SC Fibre Optic Patch Cable OM3 Multimode Duplex 50/125µm LSZH 10m Aqua

The Equip LC to SC patch cable is a 10 m duplex OM3 multimode fibre optic cord for linking an LC port to an SC port – typically a switch or server SFP port to a patch panel, media converter or another switch in the same rack or room.

OM3 is laser-optimised 50/125 µm multimode fibre with the standard aqua jacket. The jacket is halogen-free LSZH, so it is suitable for offices, comms rooms and other indoor spaces where low smoke and no halogen gases are preferred. Each cable ships with its own measurement protocol. Equip rates it for 10G Ethernet.

• 1 × Equip LC–SC duplex fibre optic patch cable, 10 m
• 1 × measurement protocol (test report) for this cable

• End A: LC – the small push-latch connector used on SFP, SFP+, SFP28 and duplex-LC QSFP transceivers and on most current patch panels. End B: SC – the square push-pull connector found on older switches, media converters, FTTx equipment and many wall outlets.
• Duplex means two fibres – one transmits, one receives. If the link does not come up, the pair is usually crossed: swap the two connectors at one end.
• At 10 m the cable length is never the distance limit – the transceiver type is. Measure the real route including slack, and keep bends gentle.
• OM3, OM4 and OM5 are all 50/125 µm and can be patched together; the link then performs to the lowest grade in the path.

• Not for single-mode LR/LX optics – multimode and single-mode must not be mixed in one link.
• Not for RJ45 copper ports – a fibre link needs an SFP/SFP+ transceiver or a media converter at each end.
• It does not fit ST ports – choose the cable with the matching connector at each end (or ask us).
• Avoid patching it into old OM1 62.5/125 µm cabling – the core mismatch causes high loss.
• Not for green APC (angled-polish) ports – APC and flat-polished connectors must never be mated.
