LC UPC 3.0mm Simplex Multimode Fiber Connector

Built for high-speed multimode links in tough environments

The LC UPC 3.0mm Simplex Multimode connector is designed for multimode fiber patch cords that need extra mechanical protection.
While 2.0mm cables are common in standard racks, the 3.0mm jacket provides higher pull strength, better crush resistance, and longer service life, making it ideal for busy data centers, industrial cabinets, and equipment rooms.

With UPC polished ferrules and multimode fiber compatibility, this connector supports high-speed short-reach optical transmission with excellent stability.

Description

Why choose 3.0mm for multimode jumpers

Cable Diameter Durability Typical Environment
0.9mm Low Pigtails, splicing
2.0mm Medium Standard patch cords
3.0mm High High-traffic racks, industrial sites

The thicker jacket protects fibers from bending, vibration, and accidental pulling.


Multimode optical performance

Parameter Typical Value
Fiber Type Multimode OM2 / OM3 / OM4 / OM5
Core / Cladding 50 / 125 µm or 62.5 / 125 µm
Polish Type UPC
Insertion Loss ≤ 0.30 dB
Return Loss ≥ 35 dB
Wavelengths 850 / 1300 nm
Supported Data Rates 10G / 25G / 40G / 100G (short reach)
Durability ≥ 1000 mating cycles

These specs ensure reliable signal quality even in demanding environments.


Mechanical construction

Feature Specification
Connector Type LC Simplex
Cable Diameter 3.0mm
Ferrule 1.25mm zirconia ceramic
Boot Long, reinforced strain relief
Latching System LC push-pull
