Helos kuitu-kaapeli 10 m OM3 LC/ST

The Helos 10m OM3 fibre optic cable with LC and ST connectors is intended for high-speed network links that require low loss and reliable signal integrity. Constructed with a 50 µm multimode core and OM3 performance grading, the cable supports full duplex communication and is suitable for short- to medium-distance connections in data centres, server rooms and structured cabling systems. With a 10 metre length it balances reach and manageability for installations where flexibility and consistent optical performance are needed.

Advantages

This fibre cable combines OM3 multimode grading with industry-standard LC and ST connector interfaces to provide stable, low-attenuation transmission for multimode systems. The 50 µm core diameter ensures compatibility with multimode transceivers and allows for higher bandwidth over typical short-range links. Full duplex capability enables simultaneous two-way communication without additional cabling. The 10 m length reduces the need for splicing or patching in many installation scenarios while maintaining easy routing and management.

Suitable for

• Interconnections between switches, patch panels and servers in data centres
• Backbone or horizontal links in enterprise structured cabling
• Multimode optic transceiver connections (OM3 compatible)
• Audio/video and high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances

• Typical applications: Data centre links, structured cabling, multimode networks

How to use

Choose appropriate LC and ST ports on your equipment or patch panels and insert the connectors gently until they click or seat firmly. Ensure both ends are matched to LC and ST interfaces respectively and that connectors are clean before mating to minimise insertion loss. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the recommended bend radius for multimode fibre to preserve signal quality. For installations within racks or conduits, use cable management accessories to prevent kinks and to keep connectors accessible for maintenance.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces with a fibre inspection tool before each connection, keep protective dust caps on unused connectors, and avoid bending the cable below the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius. Use appropriate multimode transceivers compatible with OM3 performance to achieve expected data rates and test links after installation with an optical power meter or fibre tester to verify attenuation and connection quality.
