Duplex LC Patch Cable for Multi-Mode Networks

This Black Box duplex patch cable carries two multi-mode fibres with LC male connectors on each end. The aqua jacket identifies OM3-rated 50/125 µm glass optimised for 850-nm VCSEL sources. It suits data-centre links, campus backbones and storage-area networks that run 10 Gbps today and plan migration to 40 Gbps.

Push-Pull LC Connectors and Bend-Insensitive Fibre

The LC duplex clip snaps into SFP+ or QSFP+ transceivers with a distinct click; no tools are required. Multi-mode glass tolerates tighter bends than single-mode, yet sharp kinks or contaminated ferrules still raise insertion loss. Clean both end-faces with a lint-free wipe and inspect under a fibre scope before mating to avoid the most common fault.

50/125 µm Core/Cladding for 10-Gbps

The 50/125 µm geometry meets IEEE 802.3ae at 10 Gbps and supports the upgrade path to 40 Gbps mentioned in the specification. Buyers who need single-mode reach, OM4 bandwidth or a different connector polish should select another cable.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is performing correctly after installation?

Confirm the link lights on both network devices show a stable connection and run a throughput test to verify 10-Gbps operation per IEEE 802.3ae.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The package contains the aqua duplex patch cable with 2 x LC Male connectors on each end; transceivers, patch panels, and cleaning supplies are sold separately.

Which version should I choose for my 50/125 µm multi-mode network?

This cable uses 50/125 µm multi-mode fiber, is backwards compatible with OM1, OM2, and OM3, and supports 10-Gbps to 40-Gbps upgrades with 850-nm VCSELs.
