Patch Cord SC-LC Multi Mode OM3 DX 3M

The Netsys NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM3-3M is a high-bandwidth Multimode (OM3) Duplex Hybrid Patch Cord designed for high-speed data center and enterprise applications. At 3 meters (approx. 10 feet), this Laser-Optimized Multimode Fiber (LOMMF) cable is the perfect solution for bridging the gap between legacy SC hardware and modern 10G/40G LC equipment.

Key Features

• Hybrid SC to LC Interface: Features an SC/UPC connector on one end and an LC/UPC connector on the other. This allows for direct connectivity between older SC-style storage devices or patch panels and modern, high-density LC switches.

• OM3 Laser-Optimized Fiber: Built with 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.

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both the SC and LC connectors are finished with a precision UPC polish, ensuring low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and high signal quality for error-free data transmission.

• Optimal 3.0m Reach: The 3-meter length provides the ideal amount of slack for connecting equipment within the same rack or adjacent cabinets, allowing for clean routing through cable managers.

• Aqua Blue Jacket: Wrapped in the industry-standard Aqua jacket for OM3 fiber, allowing for instant visual identification to distinguish it from older OM1/OM2 (Orange) or Single-mode (Yellow) cabling.

Best Use Case

The NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM3-3M is the preferred choice for high-speed network upgrades. It is most commonly used to connect a 10G SFP+ transceiver (LC) to an existing SC-terminated fiber backbone or legacy fiber storage array (SAN) while maintaining 10Gb Ethernet performance standards.
