StarTech.com A50FBLCSC3 LC to SC OM3 Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 10Gbps, Aqua

StarTech 3m (10ft) LC/UPC to SC/UPC OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable, Full Duplex 50/125 Zipcord, 100G, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com A50FBLCSC3 LC to SC OM3 Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable provides reliable high-speed connectivity between backbone switches, hubs, routers, servers, storage area networks, and other advanced networking equipment. Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, this aqua fiber cable uses laser-optimized 50/125-micron OM3 multimode fiber to support fast, stable data transmission while helping simplify connections between equipment with LC and SC fiber ports.

Built for demanding commercial, industrial, educational, central office, and residential installations, the A50FBLCSC3 features a flame-retardant LSZH jacket. Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen construction helps minimize smoke, toxic fumes, and corrosive emissions in the event of a fire, making it a practical choice where safety and building-code considerations are important. The duplex zip-cord design includes color-coded transmit and receive connectors for easier installation and identification.

Inside, the 50/125-micron fiber core and cladding resist electromagnetic interference, while an Aramid fiber sheath adds tensile strength and crush resistance. LC and SC UPC connectors use polished ceramic ferrules to help maintain low insertion loss, and each cable is individually tested for signal integrity. The OM3 fiber core complies with TIA/EIA requirements and provides attenuation below 2.3 dB per kilometer. The cable supports common multimode network applications from 1 to 100 Gbps, including 1000BASE-SX, 10GBASE-SR, 40GBASE-SR4, and 100GBASE-SR10 connections, with backward compatibility for OM2 infrastructure. It is suitable for SFP+ and QSFP+ interfaces and includes a lifetime limited warranty from StarTech.com.
