Belden Inc. FP3LDMF002M OM3 Fiber Patch Cable MPO12 Lc

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP3LDMF002M is an OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable configured with an MPO 12-fiber female connector on one end and six LC duplex connectors on the other. This fanout-style assembly breaks a single 12-fiber MPO trunk connection out into six individual LC duplex channels, enabling structured cabling installations to interface high-density MPO backbone infrastructure with standard LC-based active equipment. At 2 meters in length, it is suited for short interconnect runs inside equipment racks and data distribution frames. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals install this type of assembly in data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets.

This patch cable is intended for high-density fiber distribution environments where OM3 50-micron multimode performance is required. Typical applications include connecting MPO trunk cassettes or panels to SFP-based switches, transceivers, or patch panels equipped with LC ports. The 2-meter length accommodates standard rack-to-rack or panel-to-device runs without excess slack. It is sold as a single assembly per unit.

Key Features

• OM3 50-micron multimode fiber supports 10GbE and 40GbE applications over short distances
• MPO 12-fiber female to 6x LC duplex fanout configuration for high-density breakout
• 2-meter overall assembly length for in-rack and short inter-rack runs
• Polished connectors provide low insertion loss for reliable signal transmission
• Pre-terminated factory assembly eliminates field termination and reduces installation time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install assembly for OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure utilizing MPO 12-fiber female trunk interfaces and LC duplex port equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Always inspect and clean fiber end-faces before mating connectors to avoid contamination-related signal loss. De-energize or disable active transceivers before connecting or disconnecting fiber assemblies where possible. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local structured cabling standards for bend radius, slack management, and labeling requirements.
