Product Information

Full details

This Lindy 50m OM3 fibre optic patch cable is designed for users requiring high-speed data connections in telecoms and network environments. Its key benefit is providing reliable, low-signal-loss connectivity for demanding applications. A potential caveat is that OM3 fibre is optimized for shorter distances compared to single-mode fibre, making it best suited for within-building or campus networking.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is OM3 fibre?

OM3 (Optical Multimode 3) is a type of laser-optimized multimode fibre designed to support high-speed data transmission, commonly used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and faster networks over shorter to medium distances.

What does '50/125µm' mean?

This refers to the diameter of the fibre's core (50 micrometers) and its cladding (125 micrometers). It's a standard specification for multimode fibre.

Are the LC connectors push-and-pull or screw-on?

LC connectors are typically a push-and-latch type, providing a secure connection with a simple push action until it clicks into place.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

While the LS0H jacket offers some protection, this cable is primarily designed for indoor use. Outdoor applications may require specialized, weather-resistant fibre optic cables.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This Lindy cable comes with a 10 Year Warranty.

How do I clean the LC connectors?

Use a dedicated fibre optic cleaning tool, such as a one-click cleaner or lint-free wipes with an appropriate cleaning solvent, to gently clean the ferrule end-face.

Can I use this cable with single-mode equipment?

No, this is a multimode fibre cable (OM3). It is not compatible with single-mode transceivers or equipment, which require single-mode fibre cables.

Troubleshooting

No connectivity or intermittent signal loss

Ensure both LC connectors are fully seated in their respective ports. Clean the end-faces of the connectors with a specialized fibre optic cleaner. Verify that the connected devices are configured for fibre optic communication and support OM3 standards.

Cable appears physically damaged

Visually inspect the cable for any signs of cuts, kinks, or connector damage. If damage is found, do not use the cable and replace it with a new one to avoid further equipment damage or unreliable performance.

Lower than expected data speeds

Confirm that both connected devices are capable of and configured for the expected high speeds. Check the overall network configuration and other components for bottlenecks. Ensure the cable is not excessively bent or stressed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides high-speed data transfer suitable for modern networks.
  • Durable construction with LS0H jacket for safety.
  • Low signal loss due to ceramic connectors.
  • Immune to electrical interference.
  • Wide compatibility with standard fibre optic equipment.

Cons

  • OM3 is a multimode fibre, less suited for extremely long-distance runs compared to single-mode.
  • Requires compatible LC ports on networking devices.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring the absolute highest bandwidth over very long distances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Connect the LC male connectors to the corresponding LC ports on your networking equipment. Ensure a firm, audible click to confirm the connection is secure.

Compatibility:

This cable is compatible with all standard LC-terminated fibre optic equipment. It is specifically designed for OM3 multimode fibre applications, ensuring optimal performance with devices that support this standard. Check your equipment's specifications to confirm LC port compatibility and OM3 support.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply, as excessive bending can damage the fibre core.
  • Keep connector end-faces clean to prevent signal degradation. Use appropriate fibre optic cleaning tools if necessary.
  • Store the cable in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  • Protect the connectors from dust and damage by using protective caps when disconnected.
