Lightwin Fiber Optic Patch Cable Multimode LC – ST, OM3, Duplex, 20 m

Multimode LC-ST OM3 20 m

A conventional electrical signal in a copper cable is disrupted by electromagnetic oscillations. Fiber optic cables, on the other hand, offer better protection against interference and are also more secure against eavesdropping. In addition, due to the low attenuation of fiber optic cables, large distances can be bridged.

ST Connector

ST "stick and twist" are connectors with a bayonet lock for fiber optic cables. They are suitable for both single-mode and multimode fibers.

LC Connector

The LC connector is a high-performance fiber optic connector for single-mode and multimode applications and impresses with low insertion loss. It is one of the most common fiber optic connector types. The design of the LC connector is based on a single-fiber ceramic ferrule with a diameter of 1.25 mm for a fiber optic cable. Due to its compact design, the LC connector enables a high packing density, which is why it is frequently used for fiber optic switches.

OM3 Classification

The OM designation for a fiber optic cable defines the quality class of a multimode fiber optic cable. The classification distinguishes four classes (OM1 to OM4). The distinction is made by the level of optical attenuation and the possible transmission rate and distance. The fiber categories OM3 and OM4 are intended for high-speed applications such as (10/40/100-)Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel at 850 nm. Multimode fibers of the OM3 class have an Effective Modal Bandwidth (EMB) of 2 GHz x km.

All cables are tested and delivered with a test report. Each cable has its own serial number
