StarTech.com 3m (9.8ft) LC to LC OM5 Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 50/125µm, LSZH Jacket for High-Speed Networks

StarTech.com 3m (9.8ft) LC to LC (UPC) OM5 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable, 50/125µm Duplex Zipcord, 40G/100G, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com 3-meter (9.8-foot) LC to LC OM5 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable is engineered for high-performance data transmission in demanding 40G and 100G network environments. This cable supports SWDM (Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology across an extended wavelength range of 850-953nm VCSEL, allowing for increased channel capacity and improved signal integrity over OM4 and OM3 infrastructures. Its design ensures reliable, high-speed connectivity for data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks. The OM5 fiber core, combined with precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules, guarantees optimal fiber alignment, minimizing insertion loss and enhancing overall performance. The polished LC/UPC connectors provide superior return loss characteristics compared to older PC-polished connectors, contributing to a more stable and efficient network connection. This cable's compatibility with existing 10G, 40G, and 100G networks makes it an excellent choice for future-proofing your infrastructure, especially when upgrading to higher bandwidth applications. The cable's green LSZH (Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen) jacket ensures safety during installation and operation, emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces such as industrial settings, aircraft, and trains. Each cable undergoes individual testing to meet or exceed industry standards, providing guaranteed performance and reliability. Its bend-insensitive fiber core housed within an Aramid-reinforced jacket enables tight bends with a minimum bend radius, facilitating intricate installations around equipment and along confined pathways. The zipcord design with color-coded connectors simplifies polarity management and installation processes. This fiber optic patch cable also adheres to environmental standards like RoHS, emphasizing its environmentally friendly construction. Whether deploying new fiber networks or upgrading existing systems, this StarTech.com fiber optic patch cable offers a robust, high-quality solution with a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term performance and peace of mind.
