LogiLink OM3 LC/LC Duplex Multimode Fibre Optic Patch Cable 20m Aqua

Fiber optic patch cable engineered for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances. The OM3 multimode core with 50/125 µm diameter supports bandwidth up to 1500 MHz·km at 850 nm, making it ideal for backbone and data center connections. Duplex LC connectors on both ends ensure reliable, low-loss links with insertion loss below 0.3 dB. The aqua LSZH jacket is halogen-free, producing minimal smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces.

Advantages

Laser-optimized OM3 fiber delivers extended reach for 10GbE up to 300 meters, exceeding standard OM2 performance. The duplex configuration supports bidirectional communication, essential for networking equipment. LC connectors feature a push-pull latching mechanism for secure, easy connections in high-density patch panels. The LSZH jacket meets strict fire safety regulations, making it suitable for public buildings, offices, and industrial environments.
