Fiberkabel Helos 10m OM3 LC/LC

The Helos 10m OM3 LC/LC fibre optic cable is a multimode patch lead engineered for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and networking environments. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM3 graded performance, the 10-metre duplex LC to LC cable supports reliable full-duplex communication and is suited to applications that demand low insertion loss and stable signal integrity over moderate distances.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides predictable multimode performance consistent with OM3 specifications, enabling higher bandwidth for short-range data links. The LC/LC duplex connectors deliver a compact connection footprint with easy mating in high-density panels or switches. The 10 m length offers installation flexibility while maintaining low attenuation and minimal modal dispersion typical of 50 µm OM3 fibres. The cable is designed for plug-and-play deployment in data center, enterprise and telecom racks.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and horizontal cabling where OM3 multimode is specified
• Fiber channel, Ethernet (1/10/40 Gbps depending on environment) and SAN interconnects
• Connections between switches, patch panels and transceivers in rack installations
• Test setups and temporary high-speed links requiring a 10 m duplex lead

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 10 m
• Polishing: Typically UPC/PC (industry standard for multimode LC)
• Transmission: Full duplex
• Suitable environments: Indoor, rack and patch panel installations

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors and port dust caps before insertion. Align the keyed LC connector with the adapter or transceiver port and push until a light click confirms engagement. Use both fibers of the duplex cable according to transmit/receive labelling on devices; maintain correct polarity if required by the network equipment. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and compressive loads; adhere to minimum bend radius guidance for multimode fibre. For removal, depress the latch on the LC connector and pull straight out to avoid stress on the fibre.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connectors clean and use appropriate fibre cleaning tools before connection. Avoid kinking and maintain a conservative bend radius in patching areas. Use labeled cable management and color-coded jackets if integrating into existing OM3 infrastructure to preserve polarity and ease troubleshooting.
