Patchcord LC/UPC-LC/UPC Dúplex 5 m — Extralink OM3 Multimodo, 3 mm FTTH, Aqua

Extralink LC/UPC‑to‑LC/UPC duplex patchcord, 5 m long, designed for multimode OM3 fiber networks. The cable uses a 3 mm FTTH jacket in aqua colour to match OM3 identification and provides two LC/UPC connectors for full‑duplex optical links. This patchcord is intended for short‑reach multimode connections in LANs, data centres, patch panels and FTTH termination points, enabling reliable transmission between switches, media converters, OLTs and ONUs/ONTs.

Advantages

The multimode OM3 fibre offers low insertion loss and stable performance for short‑range high‑speed links. Duplex LC/UPC connectors on both ends provide compact, standardized terminations with reliable alignment and UPC polish for reduced back reflection. The 3 mm FTTH cable construction balances flexibility and mechanical protection for routing in racks, panels and residential installations, while the aqua jacket makes OM3 identification straightforward.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach multimode connections in enterprise LANs and server rooms
• Patch panels and fibre distribution frames in data centres
• FTTH termination points connecting OLT to ONU/ONT devices
• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and media converters

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibres)
• Connectors: LC/UPC to LC/UPC
• Length: 5 m
• Cable diameter: 3 mm (FTTH style)
• Jacket colour: Aqua (OM3 identification)

How to use

Prepare the installation by ensuring fibre ports and connectors are clean and free of dust. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC duplex adapter or port until it clicks into place. For duplex links observe transmit/receive orientation or duplex keying on patch panels and equipment. Route the 3 mm cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force; secure the cable with appropriate clips or organisers in racks or enclosures. If removing, gently depress the connector latch and pull straight out to prevent damage.

Recommendations

Use a fibre inspection probe and alcohol wipes to clean connectors before mating. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by standard multimode fibre practice, avoid tight loops, and label both ends for easy identification in patch panels. For critical links, verify insertion loss and continuity with appropriate test equipment after installation.
