FLYPROFiber OM3 LC‑LC 10Gb Multimode Fiber Patch Cable 5m

FLYPROFiber OM3 LC–LC multimode patch cable, 5 meters (16 ft) in a 2-pack, delivers low-loss 10Gb connections for data centers, LANs and high-density network racks.

This pair of LC-to-LC OM3 multimode fiber patch cords is built for modern networking where reliable, high-bandwidth links and tight bend tolerance matter. Each cord uses 50/125µm fiber with UPC-polished zirconia ferrules, an LSZH jacket for safety in enclosed spaces, and duplex clips with A/B labeling to speed installation and troubleshooting. The cables are factory-tested for insertion and return loss so they arrive ready for 10G, 40G or 100G short-reach links.

How fast and how far will these OM3 cables carry data?

OM3 multimode fiber is tuned for short-range, high-speed connections. Performance varies by protocol and wavelength, but this cable supports typical 10Gb links and higher-density Ethernet in common data center runs.

• 10Gb Ethernet: up to ~300 meters at 850 nm
• 1Gb Ethernet: up to ~550 meters at 850 nm
• 40Gb Ethernet: practical short-reach multimode use up to 300 meters
• 100Gb Ethernet: up to ~200 meters at 850 nm for multimode setups

How does the cable design help in crowded racks and tight pathways?

These patch cords use 50/125µm fiber with a small 7.5 mm minimum bend radius to resist signal loss when routed through dense cable channels. The LSZH jacket and compact LC duplex connectors make them well suited for crowded cabinet runs and patch panels.

• 7.5 mm minimum bend radius reduces microbending loss in tight turns
• Compact LC connectors save panel space compared with larger connector types
• Embossed A/B duplex clips and numbered jacket tags speed polarity checks
• UPC polish and precision zirconia ferrules lower insertion and return loss

What installation and compatibility tips should I know?

These are duplex LC–LC multimode cables compatible with SFP+, 10G SR, and other multimode transceivers; they’re intended for short-reach optical links rather than single-mode long-haul runs. Follow connector polarity and keep endfaces clean to maintain performance.

• Use the numbered jacket tags and A/B clips to maintain Tx/Rx polarity
• Clean endfaces before mating to prevent contamination and loss
• Avoid sharp bends and secure cable bundles to reduce strain on connectors
• Match OM3 fiber to multimode transceivers for optimal results

What safety and quality features does FLYPROFiber include?

The cable jacket is LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) for safer use in enclosed environments. FLYPROFiber tests each assembly for insertion and return loss and uses quality components to ensure consistent optical performance.

• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in confined spaces
• Factory-tested for insertion loss (≤0.3 dB typical) and return loss (≥30 dB)
• Japan-made zirconia ferrules for precise fiber alignment
• Adjustable connector clips allow individual fiber access during service

Who is this for? Network engineers, data center technicians, and IT teams who need compact, reliable multimode patching for 10Gb and higher short-reach links will appreciate this FLYPROFiber 5 m LC–LC OM3 2-pack. It’s ideal for high-density rack patching, SAN connections, switch-to-switch links, and any environment where clean, labeled, low-bend fiber is required. If you need other lengths, FLYPROFiber offers options from 0.2 m up to 200 m to match various installation needs.
