2m SC to SC OM3 Fibre Optic Network Cable
A 2m duplex OM3 fibre patch lead with SC connectors at both ends. Duplex means two fibres, one to send and one to receive, so a single lead connects a pair of ports.
OM3 is laser-optimised 50/125 multimode fibre. It carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to about 300m and 40/100 Gigabit up to about 100m, which makes it a common choice for new server room and backbone patching.
SC plugs are square push-pull connectors found on patch panels, media converters and many older switches.
2m reaches between neighbouring cabinets or from a panel to equipment a few units away. Avoid bending it tighter than 60mm, as sharp bends weaken the signal and can damage the fibre. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket suits offices, data centres and public buildings.
