Patch Cord SC-SC Multi Mode OM3 DX 3M

The Netsys NS-SCUPC-SCUPC-DX-OM3-3M is a high-bandwidth Multimode (OM3) Duplex Fiber Patch Cord designed for high-speed 10Gbps and 40/100Gbps data transmission in modern data centers. At 3 meters (approx. 10 feet), this cable is the ideal length for cross-connecting switches and servers within the same rack or adjacent cabinets.

Key Features

• Dual SC/UPC Connectors: Features SC connectors on both ends with an Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish. These blue-housed, “push-pull” connectors ensure a secure, stable connection with low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) for consistent signal performance.

• Laser-Optimized OM3 Multimode Fiber: Engineered with a 50/125µm core, specifically optimized for 850nm VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) light sources. It supports 10 Gbps up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gbps up to 100 meters, providing a future-proof foundation for high-speed networks.

• 3.0m Versatile Reach: The 3-meter length offers enough flexibility for professional routing through vertical cable managers while preventing excessive cable bulk that can restrict airflow within a cabinet.

• Duplex “Zipcord” Design: The two-fiber construction facilitates simultaneous, bi-directional data transfer (TX and RX), which is required for standard fiber optic transceivers.

• Safety & Standards: Encased in the industry-standard Aqua jacket for OM3 fiber, typically made of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material for increased safety in enclosed data center environments.¹
