Enfain OM3 LC-SC Duplex Fibre Cable

The Enfain OM3 LC-SC duplex multimode fibre optic cable is built for 10-gigabit links in data centres, server rooms and network switches. Its aqua-blue 3.0 mm PVC jacket identifies the OM3 core rated for 850 nm transmission. The 20 m length suits rack-to-rack or cross-connect runs where LC and SC interfaces meet.

Installation notes and common issues

The cable uses ceramic ferrules and a 330 mm minimum bending radius, so avoid tight bends behind panels. Push each connector straight in until the latch clicks; angled force can chip the ferrule end-face. Clean both LC and SC faces before mating — dust is the usual cause of insertion loss rising above the typical 0.2 dB or return loss dropping below 38 dB. The duplex clip keeps polarity correct, but verify TX and RX mapping on the patch panel.

Deciding specification — 10-gigabit OM3 core

The single figure that decides fit is the OM3 10-gigabit multimode core. It supports 1G, 10G and 40G Ethernet at 850 nm, but will not reach the distances of single-mode fibre. If your link requires single-mode or a higher bandwidth class such as OM4, this cable is not the right part.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Enfain OM3 LC-SC duplex cable is performing correctly after installation?

Measure insertion loss with an optical power meter at 850 nm; typical loss should be .2 dB and not exceed .3 dB, while return loss should read above 38 dB.

What comes with the 20 m fibre patch cord and what must I source separately?

The cable arrives terminated with LC and SC duplex connectors on a 3.0 mm aqua jacket; compatible transceivers or switch ports are not included.

Which version of the OM3 LC-SC duplex cable should I select for 10 GbE links?

The OM3 10-gigabit core supports 1 G, 10 G and 40 G transmission at 850 nm, so this single 20 m variant covers all three speeds.
