Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS46V1 1/2 Meter LC/LC OM3 Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS46V1 is a 0.5-meter duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, short-reach network connections. It features LC connectors on both ends and utilizes OM3 fiber with 50/125 micron core/cladding, specifically engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and higher speeds over shorter distances. The inclusion of Corning glass ensures superior optical performance and reliability for critical data transmission in environments like data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network closets. This cable is essential for linking network switches, servers, and storage devices where high-speed data integrity is paramount.

Compatibility

This FCDUS46V1 cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard LC duplex fiber optic ports. This includes a wide range of enterprise-grade network switches, routers, servers, and storage area network (SAN) devices from manufacturers such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Dell, HPE, and others that support OM3 multimode fiber connectivity. It is suitable for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications where the distance does not exceed the OM3 fiber's specified reach.

Installation Notes

When installing, ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 10mm for OM3) to maintain signal integrity. The duplex configuration requires two ports on each connected device, typically used for simultaneous transmit and receive signals.
