Belden Inc. FP3LDMF005M OM3 MPO12 to Lc Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP3LDMF005M is an OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed to connect MPO12 female trunk connectors to LC duplex ports. It is built for high-density fiber distribution environments where structured cabling must bridge MPO backbone infrastructure with LC-based active equipment. The 5-meter length suits rack-to-rack and panel-to-device runs inside data rooms, telecom closets, and equipment enclosures. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors typically install this type of assembly during structured cabling buildouts or equipment migrations.

This patch cable is suited for use in enterprise data centers, commercial network infrastructure, and high-density fiber distribution panels. The MPO12 female connector on one end mates with standard MPO trunk cables or cassettes, while the six LC duplex connectors on the opposite end interface with SFP-based switches, transceivers, or fiber patch panels. It is appropriate for 10G and 40G multimode network applications where OM3 fiber performance is specified.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10G and 40G network applications
• MPO12 female connector on one end for trunk cable or cassette interface
• Six LC duplex connectors on the fanout end for individual port connections
• 5-meter cable length suitable for in-rack and cross-aisle runs
• Factory-terminated assembly reduces field termination time and error risk
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fiber assembly for high-density OM3 multimode structured cabling systems using MPO12 to LC duplex breakout configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or data cabling contractors following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Before connecting or disconnecting fiber assemblies, ensure active equipment ports are powered down or transceivers are in a safe state to avoid exposure to laser emissions. Keep protective dust caps on unused connectors until the moment of installation. Inspect ferrule end-faces with an appropriate fiber inspection scope before mating to prevent contamination-related signal loss.
