Elfcam Armored OM3 Duplex Fiber Cable LC/UPC 35m

Elfcam's 35m armored OM3 multimode duplex fiber patch cable (LC/UPC to LC/UPC) is a shielded, rodent‑resistant link built for secure indoor and protected outdoor 10/25/40/100GbE network connections.

This armored 35‑meter patch cord combines OM3 multimode 50/125µm fiber with steel tape shielding and an LSZH outer jacket to deliver a durable, low‑loss duplex LC/UPC connection. It’s engineered for installations that demand extra mechanical protection—conduit runs, factory interiors, rail facilities, or concealed outdoor routes—while maintaining tight optical performance for modern high‑speed transceivers.

How does this cable hold up in tough environments?

The cable uses an internal steel tape armor beneath an LSZH jacket to reduce damage from impact, crushing, and rodent chewing. The armored core prevents common mechanical failures that compromise fiber links in industrial or exposed routing scenarios.

• Armored steel tape inside outer jacket for mechanical and rodent protection
• LSZH outer sheath for low smoke and zero halogen in enclosed spaces
• 3.0 mm diameter per single fiber keeps the assembly compact yet robust
• Rated for indoor use and protected outdoor installations where weather exposure is limited

What optical performance can I expect for data center and enterprise networks?

This OM3 multimode duplex (50/125µm) cord meets tight loss and return‑loss specifications to support today’s high‑speed transceivers. It is suitable for 10GbE and higher multimode applications, giving predictable performance for short‑reach links.

• Connector type: LC/UPC to LC/UPC duplex for compact, hot‑swappable ports
• Insertion loss ≤ 0.2 dB and return loss ≥ 35 dB for reliable signal integrity
• Compatible with 10GBase‑SR, 10G SFP+, 25G SFP28, 40G QSFP+, 100G QSFP28 transceivers
• OM3 modal bandwidth suitable for multimode short‑reach applications

Is the cable tested and certified for professional installations?

Yes—Elfcam subjects each cable to stress testing and certification to ensure consistent optical and mechanical characteristics. The cable is manufactured to ITU G657 A2/B2 specifications and comes with a clear warranty and support policy.

• Stress tested and factory‑certified for optical performance
• ITU G657A2/B2 designation for bend‑tolerant multimode handling
• 10‑year warranty backed by 24/7 U.S. customer support
• Cable diameter and materials specified for installation planning (3.0 mm, armored/LSZH)

How do I use this cable in my setup and what should I check before ordering?

Match connectors and transceiver types first—this product is LC/UPC duplex on both ends and intended for multimode fiber links. Confirm run length (35 m) and that the route is protected from direct weather exposure; this cable is built for concealed outdoor or indoor harsh environments rather than direct burial.

• Verify both ends accept LC/UPC duplex connections
• Confirm transceiver compatibility (10G/25G/40G/100G multimode ports)
• Plan routes where armor and LSZH jacket offer protection but not direct burial resistance
• Check bend radius handling for existing cable management and trays

Who is this for: Network engineers, systems integrators, and facilities teams who need a rugged, short‑reach multimode patch solution—ideal for industrial facilities, data closets, concealed outdoor pathways, and any installation requiring extra mechanical protection without sacrificing low insertion loss. If you need a 35‑meter LC/UPC duplex OM3 link that resists physical damage and supports modern high‑speed transceivers, this Elfcam armored patch cable is built for that role.
