Aqua-colored jacket provides easy identification of multimode fiber.
The Lightwave LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-MM-3M Fiber Patch Cord is a 3-meter duplex multimode fiber-optic patch cord featuring LC UPC connectors on both ends. It uses OM2 50/125μm multimode fiber and an LSZH jacket, making it suitable for short- to medium-distance optical connections in enterprise networks, data centers, telecom rooms and structured cabling installations. Kenyan supplier listings identify this exact model as a Lightwave LC UPC-to-LC UPC OM2 duplex patch cord.
The 3-meter length provides useful flexibility for connecting equipment positioned within the same rack, cabinet or nearby network enclosure while still allowing relatively neat cable management.

What is the Lightwave LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-MM-3M Fiber Patch Cord?
It is a 3-meter duplex multimode fiber-optic patch cord with LC UPC connectors on both ends.
What type of fiber does it use?
It uses OM2 multimode fiber with a 50/125μm core.
What connectors does the patch cord have?
It has LC UPC connectors on both ends.
How long is the cable?
The cable is 3 meters long.
What does MM mean in the model number?
MM means multimode fiber.
What does DX mean?
DX indicates a duplex configuration with two fiber paths for bidirectional communication.
What does LSZH mean?
LSZH means Low Smoke Zero Halogen. The jacket is designed to produce reduced smoke and avoid halogen-based corrosive emissions when exposed to fire.
Is it suitable for data centers?
Yes. Its LC connectors, duplex design and 3-meter length make it suitable for compatible multimode connections in data centers and network cabinets.
Can it be used with single-mode equipment?
No. This is an OM2 multimode patch cord and should be paired with compatible multimode optical equipment.
Can it support Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The OM2 configuration is suitable for compatible 1Gbps Ethernet applications.
Can it be used for 10GbE?
It can support compatible short-span 10GbE applications when the optical modules, fiber infrastructure and link distance meet the required specifications.
What is the difference between LC UPC and LC APC?
LC UPC uses a standard ultra-physical-contact polish, while LC APC uses an angled physical-contact polish. The connector type should match the requirements of the optical equipment and network.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
