Cables Direct FB3M-LCSC-020D | OM3 LC to SC Fibre Optic Cable
The Cables Direct FB3M-LCSC-020D InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m LC SC Aqua colour is a 2-metre multi-mode patch lead designed for high-speed data centre connectivity. This cable targets network engineers requiring reliable links between LC and SC ports. It offers a practical solution for structured cabling environments. The OM3 specification supports higher bandwidth distances compared to older cable types.
Cables Direct FB3M-LCSC-020D InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m LC SC Aqua colour
This specific model features Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacketing for improved safety in confined spaces. The aqua colouring provides immediate visual identification as an OM3 multi-mode cable. It connects equipment with LC and SC duplex interfaces. This cable is ideal for short-range backbone or distribution links.
Slim Technical Overview
| Metric | Spec. |
|---|---|
| Cable Length | 2 m |
| Connector Type | LC to SC |
| Fibre Mode | Multi-mode OM3 |
| Core Diameter | 50 µm |
| Insertion Loss | 0.3 dB |
| Jacket Material | LSZH (Aqua) |
Low Smoke Zero Halogen Safety Compliance
The jacket is constructed from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material. This reduces toxic smoke emission during combustion. It is a preferred choice for internal routing in office blocks and data halls. Because it does not contain halogen, it meets specific safety standards for public buildings.
OM3 Multi-Mode Bandwidth Performance
This cable utilises OM3 multi-mode fibre with a 50 µm core. OM3 supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 metres. In practice, this allows for high-speed short-reach links between racks. The 35 dB return loss ensures signal integrity across the 2-metre span.
Precision LC to SC Duplex Connectivity
The cable features male LC and male SC connectors with UPC polish. LC connectors offer high density for modern switches. SC connectors provide a robust push-pull locking mechanism. This hybrid configuration is common when connecting newer LC-based equipment to legacy SC infrastructure.
Aqua Colour Identification & Full Duplex
The aqua jacket colour visually identifies the cable as OM3 grade. This helps prevent accidental misconfiguration during maintenance. The cable supports full duplex transmission. This allows simultaneous sending and receiving of data on separate fibre strands.
