Lindy 5,0m OM3 LC - ST duplex cavo InfiniBand/fibra ottica 5 m turchese

The Lindy 5.0m OM3 LC - ST Duplex fibre optic cable provides a 5.0 metre connection using OM3 multimode fibre with LC and ST connectors in a duplex configuration. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this cable uses a 50 µm core diameter to support short- to medium-range multimode links and full duplex communication between network devices. The combination of LC and ST terminations offers compatibility with a wide range of switches, transceivers and patch panels commonly used in enterprise and data centre environments.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers stable, low-loss multimode performance over a 5.0 m length and utilises OM3 grade glass to support higher bandwidth and laser-optimised transceivers. The duplex construction enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full duplex data flow. LC and ST connectors provide flexible connection options: the LC connector is compact for high-density patching while the ST connector is keyed for secure bayonet-style mating. The cable is suitable for professional installation with consistent signal integrity and minimal electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centres and server rooms
• Connecting transceivers and patch panels with LC and ST ports
• Multimode fibre runs for enterprise LANs and campus networks
• High-bandwidth short- to medium-reach applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over multimode

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Length: 5.0 m
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector A: LC (duplex)
• Connector B: ST (duplex)
• Duplex configuration supporting separate transmit and receive fibres
• Optimised for laser-based shortwave LAN applications

How to use

Identify the correct ports on the equipment for LC and ST connectors and ensure both ends are clean before connecting. Align the LC duplex connector with the LC port and insert until it clicks; align the ST connector, insert and twist the bayonet coupling to lock. Use cable management to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent microbending loss. Verify link status on connected devices and, if available, run diagnostic tests or optical power measurements to confirm expected attenuation and throughput.

Recommendations

Keep connector end faces covered when not in use and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools prior to mating. Avoid routing the cable near sources of mechanical stress or extreme temperatures. For installations requiring longer runs or single-mode performance, select an appropriate fibre grade. Follow standard fibre handling procedures to preserve performance and safety.
