OM3 Armored Fiber Optic Cable|2-Core LSZH Zipcord Duplex

OM3 dual-core armored cable|side-by-side armored patch cord | flame-retardant rodent-proof cable

HHD Fiber’s 2-core aqua OM3 duplex indoor armored fiber cable. Features spiral stainless-steel armor, LSZH jacket, and rodent resistance for data centers and server rooms.

High-density 10GbE 50/125 OM3 duplex zipcord cable with flexible steel armor. Supports LC/SC/FC/ST connectors, Corning fiber options & custom lengths.

Each subunit contains laser-optimized OM3 50/125 µm multimode fiber protected by aramid yarn and flexible spiral stainless-steel armor. This construction improves resistance to crushing, accidental pulling, rodent damage and repeated handling while remaining flexible enough for indoor routing.

It is suitable for data centers, equipment rooms, industrial networks, indoor CCTV systems and other installations where a standard duplex patch cord may require additional mechanical protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OM3 duplex zipcord cable?

It is a two-fiber multimode cable made from two side-by-side subunits. Each leg can be separated near the termination point, making the cable convenient for duplex LC, SC, FC or ST connections.

Is this cable rodent-proof?

The spiral stainless-steel armor significantly improves resistance to rodent bites compared with a standard unarmored patch cord. Actual protection depends on installation conditions and exposure; no cable should be described as absolutely rodent-proof in every environment.

Can it be installed outdoors?

This LSZH version is designed primarily for indoor use. For outdoor installation, HHD Fiber recommends a TPU- or PE-jacketed armored cable selected according to UV, water and temperature requirements.

Can it be supplied as a finished patch cord?

Yes. It can be supplied as bulk cable, one-end terminated cable or a fully connectorized duplex armored patch cord with customized length, connectors, labels and packaging.
