Duplex LC/ST multimode cable

The Tripp Lite N318-03M is a 3 m duplex fibre optic patch cable with LC and ST connectors. It uses 62.5/125 µm multimode fibre for short-range data links. The assembly is factory-terminated and tested for insertion loss. It suits network cabinets, patch panels and equipment interconnections.

Installers linking LC and ST ports

This cable suits technicians who need to connect LC transceivers to ST bulkheads in existing 62.5/125 µm multimode runs. It does not suit runs that require single-mode fibre, angled-polish connectors or a different connector pairing such as LC/LC or SC/ST. Buyers needing longer reach or higher bandwidth grades should select a different cable type.

62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification

The fibre geometry of 62.5/125 µm determines compatibility with legacy multimode infrastructure. Matching this specification ensures the cable works with the installed transceivers and patch panels. A different core size would cause excessive loss and link failure.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum length of this fibre cable before signal loss becomes a concern?

The cable is 3 metres long, which is well within standard multimode distance limits for 62.5/125 fibre.

Does the cable jacket or connectors generate noticeable heat during continuous operation?

Fibre optic cables carry light, not electrical current, so they produce no heat during use.

Which transceiver interfaces are required at each end to use this LC/ST duplex patch cord?

One end needs an LC transceiver port and the other needs an ST transceiver port, both supporting 62.5/125 multimode fibre.
