The Netsys NS-LCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM3-15M is a high-bandwidth Multimode (OM3) Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord designed for high-speed 10-Gigabit and 40-Gigabit Ethernet applications. At 15 meters (approx. 49 feet), this “laser-optimized” cable is engineered for significant reach across data centers and large-scale enterprise networks.

Key Features

• OM3 Laser-Optimized Multimode Fiber (LOMMF): Features a 50/125µm core specifically designed for use with 850nm VCSELs (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers).¹ It supports 10 Gbps data rates at distances up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gbps up to 100 meters.

• Aqua Jacket Identification: The vibrant Aqua (AQ) jacket is the industry-standard color for OM3 fiber, allowing for instant visual identification and differentiation from legacy OM2 (orange) or Single-mode (yellow) cabling.

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both ends feature blue LC connectors with a UPC finish, ensuring an exceptionally low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and minimizing back reflection for high-speed data stability.

• Extended 15m Reach: This length is ideal for “End-of-Row” (EoR) patching, connecting core switches to distribution cabinets, or linking high-speed storage arrays across large server rooms.

• LC-to-LC Duplex Design: Small Form Factor (SFF) LC connectors maximize port density on high-end networking gear, while the duplex configuration supports simultaneous bi-directional communication.

Best Use Case

The NS-LCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM3-15M is the perfect solution for future-proofing 10G/40G backbones. It is specifically used for high-speed connections between backbone switches, SAN (Storage Area Network) equipment, and virtualized server environments where both high bandwidth and longer distance are required.
