Need a OM3 optical fiber cable from a SC port to a SC port? This Cable Leader OM3 SC to SC fiber optic patch cable, also sold as a SC to SC multimode fiber optic cable, fiber optic network cable or patch cord, uses Corning 50/125 OM3 glass in a 2.0 mm OFNR riser-rated zipcord with a duplex SC/UPC connector with 31.8 mm boots at each end, insertion loss 0.30 dB or less and return loss 35 dB or better. OM3 fiber is specified by TIA-492AAAC at 2000 MHz-km effective modal bandwidth, which carries 10GBASE-SR up to 300 m and 25GBASE-SR up to 70 m under IEEE 802.3. Works with 10GBASE-SR and 1000BASE-SX multimode optics and equipment from TP-Link, TRENDnet, StarTech, Cisco, Ubiquiti, Netgear, Black Box, Transition Networks and Planet. Each cable is sample-tested during production, and Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly. Best for: 10G links between SC and SC gear, patch panels, media converters. Not for: LR or LX single-mode optics on yellow OS2 cable, green APC ports, or Toslink audio.

Corning OM3 50/125 glass carries 10GBASE-SR up to 300 m and 25GBASE-SR up to 70 m under IEEE 802.3. Rated 2000 MHz-km at 850 nm, it stays backward compatible with gigabit optics on the same fiber.
This cable has a duplex SC/UPC connector with 31.8 mm boots at each end, so one jumper links SC patch panels, media converters, GBIC and SC-port switches. Insertion loss is 0.30 dB or less and return loss 35 dB or better per connector at 850 nm.
SC duplex patch panel or coupler - Yes. SC media converter or SC-port switch (TP-Link, TRENDnet, StarTech, Cisco GBIC, Black Box, Transition Networks, Planet) - Yes. LR or LX single-mode optics on yellow OS2 cable - No. Green APC ports - No. Toslink optical audio - No.
The 2.0 mm duplex zipcord jacket is OFNR riser-rated for vertical runs between floors and standard indoor use, with aramid yarn strength members and a tight buffer around each fiber, rated -25 to 60 C operating. Numbered boots and color bands at both ends make polarity easy to trace in a dense rack.
All Cable Leader fiber optic cables are sample-tested during production for insertion loss and return loss, then packed one per zip bag with the connectors capped. If your cable arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly, no manufacturer redirects.
