Belden Inc. FP3LDSD00M3 OM3 Lc Sc Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP3LDSD00M3 is an OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable configured with an LC duplex connector on one end and an SC duplex connector on the other. With a length of 0.3 meters (approximately 11.8 inches), this short-run patch cable is built for structured cabling environments where space is tight and reliable signal transmission is required. It is designed for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and network equipment rooms. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians, network technicians, or licensed electricians working on structured cabling systems.

This patch cable is suited for short interconnect runs in rack-mounted or wall-mounted fiber distribution panels. The OM3 multimode designation supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. It is a direct patch or cross-connect cable used between active equipment and fiber distribution hardware in commercial and enterprise network environments. The LC to SC duplex configuration is common in mixed-equipment environments where different port types must be bridged.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• LC duplex to SC duplex connector configuration bridges common equipment port types
• 0.3 meter length suited for within-rack or panel-to-panel interconnects
• Duplex construction carries simultaneous transmit and receive signals on separate fibers
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard interconnect patch cable for OM3 multimode fiber optic systems using LC and SC duplex port interfaces.

Installation Notes

Fiber optic patch cables should be installed by qualified low-voltage cabling technicians familiar with structured cabling standards such as TIA-568. Before installation, ensure all active equipment is powered down or that port shutters are closed to prevent exposure to laser sources. Avoid bending the cable tighter than its minimum bend radius, and never pull the cable by the fiber itself. Inspect and clean connectors with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before mating to maintain signal integrity.
