Description

3-meter multimode fiber optic patch cord for high-speed data transfer in network setups.

LC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 3m Fiber Optic Patch Cable – Complete Product Description

The LC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 3m Fiber Optic Patch Cable is a premium-grade multimode fiber cable engineered for ultra-high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. Designed with precision for short-to-mid range connections, this 3-meter patch cord is ideal for modern data centers, enterprise networks, telecom carriers, and advanced optical testing environments.

Featuring LC connectors on both ends with Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish, and an OM4 50/125μm multimode fiber core, this cable ensures low insertion loss, high return loss, and robust signal integrity—essential for mission-critical applications and high-bandwidth demands like 40G/100G Ethernet.

LC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 3m Fiber Optic Patch Cable is a laser-optimized multimode fiber type that offers higher bandwidth and longer reach than OM2 or OM3 fibers. It supports:

  • 10G Ethernet up to 550 meters

  • 40G/100G Ethernet up to 150 meters

  • Fibre Channel (16G/32G) in SAN environments

It’s ideal for densely populated networks and hyperscale data centers needing efficient optical interconnects with minimal power loss.

LC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 3m Fiber Optic Patch Cable  connectors are the gold standard for small form-factor (SFF) fiber connections. The UPC polish ensures excellent contact between fibers, which:

  • Reduces signal reflection

  • Maintains tighter optical tolerances

  • Improves performance in high-speed links

  • Offers excellent repeatability in mating cycles

This configuration makes the LC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 3m Fiber Optic Patch Cable one of the most reliable patch cords in commercial use today.

It’s ideal for indoor use in vertical riser spaces, server rooms, and telecommunications rooms.

  • Bend Radius Compliance: DLC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 3m Fiber Optic Patch Cable o not bend the cable below 7.5mm radius to avoid microbending loss.

  • Connector Care: Clean LC connectors with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol before each connection.

  • Storage: Coil gently in original packaging or hang with radius support.

  • Routing: Use cable management clips or trays to prevent stress on fibers.

Every cable undergoes:

  • Insertion & Return Loss Testing (per IEC/TIA standards)

  • End-face Microscopy for Polish Quality

  • Mechanical Integrity Testing

  • Environmental Chamber Testing (heat/cold)

Test reports are available upon request. Each cable is serialized for quality tracking.
