20m LC-LC LSOH Fibre patch cable multimode 50/125 µm OM3

Our low-cost Multimode fibre optic patch cable have a core to cladding diameter ratio of 50 microns to 125 microns (9/125 µm).

Multimode fibre cable has a larger core than Single Mode which allows multiple modes (rays of light) to travel down it simultaneously. Although this sounds beneficial it can create some limitations. Each beam of light takes a slightly different path down the glass tube and reaches the end of the fibre at different times which spreads the signal and makes it weaker, which is made worse over a greater distance. As multimode cable is easier to manufacturer, it is cheaper and therefore most cost effective on short runs up to 300m (1,000ft).

These patch cables have a low smoke, halogen free jacket making them ideal for installations in schools, colleges and modern businesses.
