LC To LC OM3 Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord

LC to LC OM3 Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Plan a paired-fiber connection using the aqua LC assembly shown here. Two conventional LC terminations at each end provide a compact duplex patching format, with light-grey connector housings, separate white boots and A/B markers. The proposed Glory Optical configuration uses OM3 multimode fiber for compatible LC equipment and distribution ports.

Selection status: OM3, UPC finish and the 3.0 mm LSZH construction are proposed specifications, not measurements taken from the photograph. Confirm the fiber grade, build and performance requirements before placing the production order. Set the cable length from the intended route.

Aqua cable with light-grey LC bodies. OM3/UPC and construction data require sample or order confirmation.

Aqua Cable, Light-Grey LC Housings and Two Separate Boots Reference selection: OM3 50/125 μm · LC/UPC duplex · 3.0 mm LSZH · order-defined length The connector pairs keep the two optical positions together at the port. Distinct A/B markers assist circuit tracing, while the individual boots provide a separate exit for each cable leg.

Reference Data for the Proposed OM3 Assembly

Use this table to establish the part specification and acceptance plan. The published family values must be confirmed for the final build; neither aqua coloring nor a connector photograph identifies a tested optical grade.

Check Port Access with the Conventional Duplex Layout

Review the sample against the actual adapter or equipment port, including neighboring connectors and the cable-management path. Verify room for operating the LC release and for the two boots to leave the patching field without pressure from a door, shelf or adjacent lead.

Record Positions as Well as Endpoint Names

Give the circuit two endpoint identifiers and record which LC position connects through each fiber. Follow those paths through the full patching route so a transmitter reaches the receiver assigned to it. A marker helps locate a position; a continuity check confirms where that fiber terminates.

Apply the Lead to a Compatible Multimode Connection

A duplex LC lead can serve the equipment end of a structured fiber route or a short local cross-connect. Confirm that the chosen optical interfaces accept the selected OM3 medium and the two-position LC arrangement.

Choose operating reach and data rate from the equipment documentation and the entire channel. A connector form factor does not establish which optical application is supported. Account for all fiber lengths and mating points when reviewing the link allowance.

Include suitable fiber patch-panel arrangements in the design, or discuss the full path with our data center connectivity support.

Specify the Length and Handling Requirements Together

Measure the route between the selected ports and state the overall-length reference points. Allow for the management path and service access. The photographed coil is an appearance view and does not establish a fixed cable length.

The starting construction is nominal 3.0 mm LSZH. Confirm its material details, complete dimensions and suitability for the installation space. For the reference static rule of ten times the finished diameter, a confirmed 3.0 mm diameter would require at least 30 mm radius; apply the final manufacturer-approved limits for the delivered build.

Obtain dynamic bending, handling-load and storage data separately where required. The −20 to +70°C operating range is a reference value to review with the ordered construction. Keep the cable supported, avoid compressed loops and prevent tension at the paired terminations.

Use the Agreed Test Setup to Evaluate Both Fibers

Start with Identification and End-Face Condition

Reconcile the cable label, length requirement and connector arrangement with the approved part record. Inspect the optical faces, clean when necessary and inspect again. Confirm both fiber paths before the lead becomes part of the working circuit.

Keep Component Limits Separate from the Channel Budget

The proposed connector targets are a maximum 0.3 dB insertion loss and a minimum 30 dB return loss. Agree the test wavelengths, multimode launch conditions and referencing method with those limits before testing. Retain results against the cable and individual fiber identifiers.

Evaluate the installed channel using its complete passive path. A satisfactory lead measurement is one part of that assessment; the other patching interfaces and routed fiber remain part of the operating loss budget.

Define the Aqua OM3 Cable for Quotation

Use our project enquiry form to submit the endpoint details and selected construction. If a particular sample must be reproduced, include that requirement so the connector housings, boots and labels can be reviewed alongside the optical specification.
