2M LC to LC OM3 Duplex Patch Lead – High-Speed Multi-Mode Connectivity for Data-Driven Networks
The 2 Metre LC to LC OM3 Duplex Patch Lead from Attac is an essential component for high-performance, short to medium-range fibre optic applications. Built with precision-engineered OM3 50/125µm multi-mode fibre and LC connectors on both ends, this cable is designed for 10Gbps Ethernet and supports up to 40G/100G speeds over extended distances in enterprise-grade environments.
Designed for Speed and Density
Optimised for 850nm VCSEL-based transmission, OM3 fibre supports high data throughput across short-range backbones. The LC connectors provide a compact form factor with a latch mechanism, making it perfect for high-density patch panels, SANs, and data centres where space is limited and performance is critical.

Built for Safety and Flexibility
The LSZH or PVC outer jacket ensures the patch lead meets fire safety standards and installation flexibility. LSZH is recommended for enclosed or public installations due to its non-toxic and flame-retardant characteristics. The 2-metre length is ideal for short connections between switches, patch panels, and rack-mounted equipment.
Reliable Optical Performance
This 2M LC to LC OM3 Patch Lead is manufactured with precision end-face geometry and factory-tested for consistent quality. It offers insertion loss ≤0.20dB and excellent repeatability over more than 1000 mating cycles, ensuring durability and stability in mission-critical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is OM3 fibre suitable for 40G and 100G Ethernet?
Yes, OM3 supports 40G/100G Ethernet when used in parallel optics configurations such as MPO/MTP, or for short-reach links using breakout cables.
What is the benefit of LC connectors?
LC connectors are compact, secure, and widely adopted for high-density installations. They enable efficient cabling in limited space environments like data centres and switch cabinets.
Can this patch lead be used in enclosed spaces?
Yes. The LSZH jacket option ensures the cable is safe for use in enclosed or public spaces by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes during fire incidents.
