Aqua duplex fiber patch cable with LC connectors at both ends, three metres long

Black Box Corporation

Black Box OM3 50/125 Multimode Fiber Patch Cable LC to LC Aqua 3m

SKU CH-Z7ZC-DFN72

A 3-metre OM3 multimode fibre patch cable with LC connectors, rated for 10 GbE runs up to 300 metres

  • OM3 laser-optimised multimode supports 10 GbE up to 300 m
  • LC-to-LC duplex connectors fit standard SFP+ transceivers
  • 50/125 µm core/cladding ensures high-bandwidth backbone links
  • OFNR-rated PVC jacket meets riser fire-safety requirements
  • 3 m (9.8 ft) aqua cable simplifies patch-panel identification

Laser-optimised multimode patch cable

This OM3 50/125 multimode fibre patch cable connects network equipment with LC duplex connectors. The aqua jacket identifies the laser-optimised core designed for 10-Gigabit Ethernet links. It suits installers building backbone or campus runs that require OM3 performance. The 3-metre length fits typical rack-to-rack or patch-panel connections.

Sustained 10-Gigabit throughput over distance

The cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission up to 300 metres, maintaining signal integrity across the full rated distance. Tight-buffered construction with acrylate coating and aramid yarn strength members protects the fibres during installation and long-term use. OFNR-rated PVC jacket meets riser fire-safety requirements for in-building deployment. Performance remains stable under continuous high-bandwidth load.

OM3 rating determines link distance

The single specification that decides suitability is the OM3 classification, which enables 10-Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 metres. Buyers needing longer 10-Gigabit reaches or single-mode distances cannot use this cable. Installers requiring a different connector type or jacket rating must select an alternative product.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the OM3 50/125 multimode patch cable generate during continuous operation?

The passive fiber assembly produces no heat and no noise because it contains no active electronics or moving parts.

What connectors must the existing equipment provide for this LC-to-LC cable to work?

Both ends require LC duplex ports on the switches, transceivers or patch panels you are connecting.

Can the 3-metre aqua cable be used in a 10-Gigabit Ethernet backbone alongside older OM1 or OM2 multimode runs?

Yes, the OM3 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 metres and can coexist with legacy multimode links when each segment uses matching fiber specifications.
