A high-performance OM3 LC-ST Duplex Fibre Patch Lead designed for connecting modern LC-equipped devices (switches, transceivers) to legacy ST connector infrastructure in high-speed data networks. This hybrid patch cable enables seamless migration between different generations of fibre equipment while maintaining full 10G/40G/100G capability.
Fiber Type: OM3 Laser-Optimized 50/125µm Multimode
Connectors: LC (Duplex) to ST (Duplex)
Polish: UPC (Ultra Physical Contact)
Jacket: Aqua Blue LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
Bandwidth: 2000 MHz·km @ 850nm
10G Support: Up to 300 meters
Attenuation: ≤ 3.0 dB/km @ 850nm
Standards: TIA-568-C.3, ISO/IEC 11801 OM3
No Adapters Needed: Eliminates extra connection points and potential failure points
Cost-Effective Migration: Avoids complete infrastructure replacement
Guaranteed Performance: Factory-terminated and tested for optimal performance
Time-Saving: Direct connection without intermediary components
ST connectors require proper locking: Ensure bayonet is fully engaged
Higher loss than LC-LC: Due to different ferrule sizes (1.25mm vs 2.5mm)
ST connectors larger: Take more space in high-density environments
