Belden Inc. FP3LD4F05M5 Fiber Optic Patch Cable OM3

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP3LD4F05M5 is a pre-terminated fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling and data center interconnect applications. It features an OM3 multimode fiber core, an MPO8 female connector on one end, and four LC duplex connectors on the other, making it a standard breakout configuration for splitting a trunk cable into individual LC ports. The cable ships at a length of 5.5 meters. Fiber optic technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this assembly.

This patch cable is suited for high-density fiber installations where an MPO backbone must fan out to individual LC-connected equipment such as switches, transceivers, or patch panels. The OM3 multimode rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and similar high-bandwidth applications over the distances typical in in-building horizontal and backbone runs. It is commonly used in enterprise data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets where organized, pre-terminated assemblies reduce installation time and the risk of field-termination errors.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• MPO8 female to 4x LC duplex breakout configuration for high-density port fan-out
• Pre-terminated factory assembly eliminates field splicing and reduces installation errors
• 5.5-meter length suits typical in-rack and cross-connect runs
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a factory-terminated breakout patch cable for use with OM3 multimode MPO and LC infrastructure components in structured fiber cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or fiber optic specialist. Ensure all active equipment is powered down before connecting or disconnecting fiber assemblies, and inspect connector end-faces for contamination prior to mating. Follow TIA-568 or applicable local cabling standards for bend-radius and cable management requirements. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to prevent signal degradation.
