Belden Inc. FP3LDSD005MR2SA OM3 Lc to Sc Duplex Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP3LDSD005MR2SA is a multimode OM3 fiber optic patch cable configured with LC duplex connectors on one end and SC duplex connectors on the other. It measures 5 meters in length, making it well suited for short-to-medium data center and telecommunications runs. This cable is used to interconnect fiber optic equipment such as switches, transceivers, patch panels, and media converters. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians with structured cabling experience. The OM3 multimode designation supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical data center distances.

This patch cable is intended for use in commercial and enterprise environments where OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure is in place. Common install scenarios include equipment rack connections in data centers, telecom closets, and server rooms. The LC duplex to SC duplex configuration bridges equipment with differing connector interfaces, a frequent need when mixing generations or brands of network hardware. The 5-meter length accommodates most within-rack and cross-rack patching situations without excess slack.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber construction supports 10GbE and high-bandwidth applications
• LC duplex to SC duplex connector configuration for mixed-interface installations
• 5-meter cable length suitable for rack-to-rack and within-cabinet runs
• Duplex design carries simultaneous transmit and receive signals over a single cable assembly
• Factory-terminated connectors for plug-and-play installation with no field polishing required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use patch cable for OM3 multimode fiber optic systems utilizing LC duplex and SC duplex interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or qualified network infrastructure personnel. Power down or place affected ports in an inactive state before disconnecting live fiber links to avoid optical exposure hazards. Handle connectors carefully to prevent contamination of the fiber end-face, and use appropriate fiber inspection and cleaning tools before mating. Installations should comply with applicable structured cabling standards such as TIA-568 where required by local code or project specification.
