The Netsys NS-LCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM3-1M is a high-speed Multimode (OM3) Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord designed for high-density 10-Gigabit and 40-Gigabit Ethernet environments. At 1 meter (approx. 3.3 feet), this laser-optimized cable is the industry standard for short-range “in-rack” patching between high-performance switches, servers, and storage arrays.

Key Features

• OM3 Laser-Optimized Fiber: Features a 50/125µm core engineered for use with 850nm VCSELs (lasers). It supports 10 Gbps data rates up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gbps up to 100 meters, providing a massive performance leap over legacy OM2 fiber.

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both ends feature blue LC connectors with a UPC finish. This precision polish ensures an exceptionally low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and minimizes back reflection, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity at high speeds.

• Space-Saving 1.0m Length: The ideal length for connecting equipment within the same server rack. It eliminates excess cable slack, which improves organization and maximizes airflow for better cooling of active hardware.

• Aqua Jacket Identification: Wrapped in a vibrant Aqua jacket, the universal color code for OM3 fiber, allowing technicians to easily distinguish it from OM2 (orange) or Single-mode (yellow) cabling.

• LC-to-LC Duplex Connectors: Utilizes Small Form Factor (SFF) LC connectors to maximize port density, while the duplex design allows for simultaneous two-way data transmission.
