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

Multimode SC-SC OM3 20 m

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

SC Connector

SC connectors are standard connectors for fiber optic cabling. They feature automatic locking and a twist-lock mechanism. Their use is recommended for new installations of computer networks using fiber optic technology. The connector is suitable for single-mode and multimode fibers. It can be used to establish simplex, duplex, and multiple connections.

OM3 Classification

The OM designation of 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 based on the level of optical attenuation and the possible transmission rate and distance. The OM3 and OM4 fiber categories are designed for high-speed applications such as (10/40/100-)Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel at 850 nm. OM3-class multimode fibers 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
