This SC/UPC–SC/UPC Duplex OM3 Armored Patch Cable is engineered for reliable 10-gigabit multimode transmission across short to medium distances, offering reinforced protection for challenging installation environments. The core of the cable is safeguarded by a stainless-steel armored tube that protects the fibers from crushing, bending, abrasion and rodent damage without sacrificing flexibility during routing or pulling. Constructed with high-precision SC/UPC connectors, the cable ensures stable insertion loss, low reflectance, and consistent performance during repeated mating cycles.

The OM3 50/125μm multimode fiber is optimized for high-speed data links at 850 nm, supporting 10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and high-density data center architectures. Its 3.0mm OFNR (Riser-rated) outer jacket meets stringent flame-retardant standards for safe indoor use in vertical riser pathways. Each cable is manufactured under strict quality control protocols and may be offered with compliance to standards such as TIA/EIA-568, ISO/IEC 11801, RoHS, CE, and UL-related OFNR fire safety requirements. Users should avoid exceeding recommended bend radius and ensure proper connector cleaning to maintain long-term optical performance.

This armored OM3 patch cable is well suited for data centers, enterprise networks, storage systems, SAN applications, cross-connects, backbone jumper connections, and environments where patch cords may face physical stress or accidental impact. Its armored structure makes it ideal for pathways without conduit protection or for locations prone to rodent activity.

During installation, avoid exceeding the recommended pull force and maintain the appropriate bend radius even though the armored layer offers enhanced resilience. For everyday maintenance, routine end-face cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve signal quality. The aqua jacket makes cable identification clear in high-density racks and panels.
