Belden FP3LDLD05M5 OM3 Lc Duplex Fiber Patch Cable 5M

Product Description

The Belden FP3LDLD05M5 is an OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable terminated with LC duplex connectors on both ends. It provides a low-loss interconnect for high-speed structured cabling systems operating at 10 Gigabit Ethernet and beyond. The cable spans 5 meters and is suited for data center, enterprise LAN, and telecommunications room applications. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of assembly when making cross-connect and equipment-side connections in fiber distribution panels, active equipment ports, and patch fields.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and backbone fiber cabling runs within data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets. LC duplex connectors are a common interface on switches, routers, transceivers, and fiber patch panels. The OM3 multimode classification supports 10GbE transmission up to 300 meters and 40GbE and 100GbE at shorter distances, making this assembly a standard choice for modern structured cabling infrastructure.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications
• LC duplex connectors on both ends for high-density port compatibility
• 5-meter cable length suits intra-rack and short inter-rack runs
• Factory-terminated assembly eliminates field termination labor and polishing
• Low insertion loss connectors maintain signal integrity across connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch cable for OM3 multimode fiber optic systems using LC duplex interface ports on switches, transceivers, and fiber patch panels.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install fiber patch cables as part of structured cabling systems in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Before installing, inspect connector end-faces with a fiber inspection scope and clean them with appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Never bend the cable below its minimum bend radius, and avoid pulling on the fiber jacket rather than the connector boot during routing. Power down connected active equipment or use appropriate safety precautions when working near active fiber ports carrying laser signals.
