Product Description

OM3 Multimode Fiber Patch Cord Solutions for Data Center and LAN Cabling

LinkFiber LF009 is an OM3 50/125 μm multimode fiber patch cord with SC, LC and customized connector options for data centers, enterprise LAN, telecom rooms, SFP/SFP+ transceiver links and high-density structured cabling. It is designed for B2B buyers who need stable low insertion loss, clear OM3 aqua identification, custom length and factory-tested patch cord assemblies.

Core Advantages

  • OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber for 850 nm and 1300 nm network applications.
  • SC, LC and SC-LC configurations support data center, SAN, LAN and equipment room cabling.
  • Aqua jacket helps installers distinguish OM3 multimode links from single-mode or OM4 cabling.
  • Simplex, duplex, zipcord and custom cable length options available for project deployment.
  • Each patch cord can be tested for insertion loss, return loss, continuity and end-face quality before shipment.

B2B Buyer Guide: What to Confirm Before Quotation

  • Confirm the exact connector combination: SC-LC, LC-LC, SC-SC or another customized type.
  • Confirm simplex or duplex structure, polarity requirement, boot type and cable diameter.
  • Check whether the project needs LSZH, PVC, OFNR or another jacket for local safety requirements.
  • Confirm cable length, aqua jacket color, label format, package quantity and carton marks.
  • For high-speed links, confirm transceiver type, OM3 distance requirement and testing report format before mass order.

FAQ
Q:

What is the core difference between single‑mode and multimode fiber patch cords?

A:
Single‑mode (e.g., LF002‑LF008, LF010): Core size 9/125μm, G.652D or G.657A2 fiber, operating at 1310/1490/1550nm, designed for long‑distance, high‑bandwidth transmission.
Multimode (e.g., LF009, LF011): Core size 50/125μm (OM3), operating at 850nm, designed for short distances (≤300m at 10G), typically used in data centers and enterprise LANs.
Q:

What is the difference between 50/125µm and 62.5/125µm multimode fiber? Which one should I choose?

A:
50/125µm (OM3/OM4) is the modern standard with higher bandwidth – supports 10G up to 300m or more. 62.5/125µm (OM1) is legacy, only 1G up to 275m. Always choose 50/125µm for new installations to support future 10G/25G/40G upgrades.
Q:

Can I connect a multimode patch cord to single‑mode equipment? If not, what happens?

A:
NEVER mix multimode patch cords with single‑mode equipment. Consequences:

Huge insertion loss ≥10dB due to core mismatch (50µm vs 9µm)

Severe modal dispersion distorting the signal

A 850nm multimode transceiver launched into single‑mode fiber will have almost no output; a single‑mode transceiver into multimode fiber will also fail.
