The OM3 LC/UPC to LC/UPC Short Boot Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord is designed for high-speed multimode optical interconnection in data centers, enterprise networks, storage systems, and other short-reach fiber networks. It uses OM3 multimode fiber with duplex LC/UPC connectors on both ends, providing separate transmit and receive paths for bidirectional optical communication.
The short boot design reduces the amount of space required behind the LC connector, making cable routing easier in high-density switches, patch panels, servers, and equipment cabinets. It is especially useful where the available depth behind the optical port is limited.
Yes. OM3 multimode fiber is widely used for short-reach high-speed optical links. The actual supported data rate and transmission distance depend on the optical transceiver, Ethernet standard, and complete link configuration rather than the patch cord alone.
