Belden Inc. FP3LULU01M3 OM3 Lc Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP3LULU01M3 is an OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable terminated with LC duplex connectors on both ends. It provides a pre-terminated, low-loss interconnect for structured cabling systems, data centers, and telecom enclosures. The cable spans 1 meter, making it well-suited for short rack-to-rack or panel-to-switch runs. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and data center cable management professionals install this type of patch cable when connecting fiber optic equipment within the same cabinet or across adjacent racks. OM3 grade multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet and beyond at standard data center link lengths.

This patch cable is used in commercial and enterprise network environments where OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure is in place. Typical applications include connecting fiber optic switches, transceivers, patch panels, and media converters. The 1-meter length is a common choice for intra-rack connections and short horizontal runs inside telecom rooms or data center pods. The LC duplex connector format is widely adopted in modern fiber installations due to its compact form factor and reliable latching mechanism.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber for high-bandwidth, short-distance data transmission
• LC duplex connectors on both ends for a duplex fiber link in a single cable assembly
• 1-meter length optimized for intra-rack and close-proximity panel connections
• Pre-terminated factory assembly for consistent insertion loss and reliable field performance
• Compact LC connector footprint compatible with high-density patch panels and switches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard interconnect for OM3 multimode fiber optic systems using LC duplex interface ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network technicians and structured cabling installers handle fiber optic patch cable installation. Always inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius, and do not apply excessive pull tension during routing. Power down or disable optical ports where required by site safety procedures before making or breaking fiber connections.
