Patchcord in fibra ottica Extralink LC/UPC – LC/UPC, multimodale OM3, duplex, 3,0 mm, 3 m

Extralink LC/UPC – LC/UPC multimode patchcord OM3, 3 m long with a 3.0 mm duplex jacket, provides reliable short-distance fiber connectivity for high-speed networks. This cable features duplex LC/UPC terminations on both ends and is engineered for full-duplex optical links between network switches, transceivers, servers and FTTH equipment. The OM3 multimode fiber is optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other short-range data center and LAN applications.

Advantages

The patchcord offers consistent optical performance and low insertion loss thanks to LC/UPC connectors and factory-terminated polished end faces. Its 3.0 mm outer jacket provides flexibility while protecting the fibers in rack and cabinet installations. Duplex LC connectors allow compact, high-density connections in patch panels and transceiver ports. The OM3 multimode core supports high data rates over short distances and maintains compatibility with common multimode transceivers and equipment.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and rack-to-rack links
• Server cabinet interconnects and switch-to-transceiver links
• LAN fiber backbone and horizontal distribution
• FTTH indoor jumper connections between OLT and ONU/ONT
• Patch panels, fiber trays and optical distribution frames

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Connector type: LC/UPC – LC/UPC duplex
• Cable diameter: 3.0 mm duplex jacket
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Polish type: UPC (ultra physical contact)
• Designed application: Short-range high-speed links (10GbE and similar)

How to use

Identify the LC ports on both devices or patch panels, ensure connectors and ports are clean, then insert each LC connector until it clicks into place. For duplex connections, keep the transmit and receive polarity aligned according to your equipment requirements. Avoid sharp bends in the cable; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius. When disconnecting, press the LC latch and pull straight out to prevent damage to the connector ferrule or the port.

Recommendations

Store and handle the patchcord in a clean environment and use dust caps when connectors are not in use. Clean connector end faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before making connections. Route the cable through cable managers or trays to avoid excessive bending and mechanical stress, and replace the cable if end-face damage or elevated insertion loss is observed.
