Patch Cord LC-LC Multi Mode OM3 DX 20M

The Netsys NS-LCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM3-20M is a premium Multimode (OM3) Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord designed for high-speed, long-reach connectivity in enterprise data centers. At 20 meters (approx. 66 feet), this laser-optimized cable provides the bandwidth necessary for 10-Gigabit and 40-Gigabit Ethernet applications across large server rooms or between different floors of a facility.

Key Features

• OM3 Laser-Optimized Performance: Features a 50/125µm core optimized for 850nm VCSEL lasers. It supports 10 Gbps up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gbps up to 100 meters, making it ideal for high-performance backbone links.

• Extended 20m Reach: This length is specifically suited for “Inter-Rack” or “Inter-Room” connectivity, allowing for continuous fiber runs through overhead cable trays or floor conduits without the need for signal-degrading couplers.

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

• Industry-Standard Aqua Jacket: The Aqua color identifies the cable as OM3, distinguishing it from legacy OM2 (orange) and Single-mode (yellow) infrastructure for easier maintenance and troubleshooting.

• LSZH Safety Jacket: Constructed with Low Smoke Zero Halogen material, which is safer for use in enclosed spaces as it emits limited smoke and no toxic halogens if exposed to fire.
