Description

StarTech A50FBLCLC3 OM3 Multimode LC/LC Duplex Fiber Cable

Overview

The StarTech A50FBLCLC3 is a 3-meter (9.8 ft) OM3 multimode duplex fiber optic cable. It's designed for high-speed network backbones, supporting data rates up to 100Gbps. This cable is ideal for connecting network switches, servers, and storage devices in enterprise data centers or high-performance computing environments where bandwidth is critical. The aqua-colored jacket indicates its OM3 classification, suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances than older multimode types.

Compatibility

This cable features LC duplex connectors on both ends, compatible with standard LC ports found on most enterprise-grade network equipment, including switches, routers, network interface cards (NICs), and transceivers. It supports 1Gbps, 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100Gbps data transfer rates, making it backward compatible with lower speed standards. It is suitable for use with equipment from major network vendors and is often deployed in conjunction with 40GBASE-SR4 or 100GBASE-SR4 transceivers.

Installation Notes

The cable has a minimum static bend radius of 1.2 inches (3cm) and a dynamic bend radius of 2.4 inches (6cm). Exceeding these limits can degrade performance or damage the fiber. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), and it can operate in humidity levels from 0-90% RH. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material is rated for fire safety, minimizing toxic smoke and corrosive materials in case of fire, making it suitable for plenum spaces where building codes require it.
