Description

StarTech A50FBLCLC8 8M OM3 Multimode LC/LC-UPC Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The StarTech A50FBLCLC8 is an 8-meter (26 ft) OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth network connections. It features LC duplex connectors on both ends, terminated with UPC polish for optimal signal reflection. This cable is engineered to support full duplex data transfer rates of 1Gbps, 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and up to 100Gbps, making it suitable for demanding enterprise and data center environments. The aqua-colored jacket identifies it as OM3 fiber, optimized for 850nm wavelength transmission, crucial for 10/40/100GbE applications.

Compatibility

This A50FBLCLC8 cable is compatible with any network device, switch, server, or transceiver utilizing LC duplex connectors and requiring OM3 multimode fiber. It is suitable for use with 10GbE SFP+ transceivers, 40GbE QSFP+ transceivers, and 100GbE QSFP28 transceivers where OM3 fiber is specified. Its construction ensures reliable performance in environments with standard network equipment from major manufacturers.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 3mm Outer Diameter (OD) Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which is rated for fire safety and suitable for installation in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire code requirements. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), with a humidity range of 0-90% RH. Proper handling is advised to avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius, which could degrade performance.
