Equip LC to SC Fiber Optic Patch Cable, OM3 Multimode Duplex 50/125µm, LSZH, Aqua, 3m

The Equip 255313 is a 3 m duplex OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable with LC connectors on one end and SC on the other, built on 50/125 µm fiber with ceramic ferrules and an LSZH jacket — for connecting an LC-port transceiver or switch to SC patch panels, wall outlets or media converters.

OM3 is laser-optimised 50/125 µm multimode fiber (aqua) — the standard choice for 10 Gigabit short-reach links with 850 nm SR transceivers inside racks, server rooms and between nearby cabinets. Manufacturer-published performance: Supports 10G Ethernet.

Connectors: LC (small form factor — the connector of SFP/SFP+ and most duplex transceivers) and SC (square push-pull — common on media converters, older switches and SC panels/outlets).

• Equip LC/SC duplex OM3 fiber optic patch cable, 3 m (1 piece)
• Individual measurement protocol (test report) for the cable

• Duplex = two fibers in one cable: one transmits, one receives. One cable connects one duplex port to one duplex port.
• 3 m covers patching across a rack or to the next cabinet.
• Hybrid cable: it adapts directly between LC and SC ports, so you do not need extra adapters (each extra mated connection adds loss).
• LSZH jacket: low smoke, zero halogen — the usual requirement for cabling in offices, server rooms and public buildings.
• Each cable ships with its own measurement protocol — useful for documentation and acceptance tests.

• Single-mode optics (LR/LX, 1310/1550 nm) or single-mode (yellow) infrastructure — multimode and single-mode fiber cannot be mixed.
• 62.5/125 µm OM1 links — the core sizes differ and the joint causes high loss.
• Copper RJ45 ports — fiber needs an optical transceiver (SFP module) or a fiber port on the device.
• Single-fiber BiDi transceivers or simplex-only ports — this is a duplex (two-fiber) cable.
• ST ports — this cable is LC to SC; check the port at both ends before ordering.
