200m LC 4-Core OM3 Armored Fiber Patch Cord on Portable Reel

200m LC 4-Core OM3 Armored Fiber Patch Cord on Portable Reel

HHD Fiber supplies this 200 m, 4-core OM3 armored fiber patch cord on a portable reel for temporary multimode links in live events, broadcast production and network maintenance. The photographed assembly combines a 5.0 mm armoured cable, LC breakout connectors, numbered fibre identification and reel-mounted cable storage.

This deployable fiber optic cable assembly helps crews keep the main cable and connector tails together during transport, setup and recovery. It is a portable multimode patch lead for AV rental companies, broadcast teams and system integrators working with compatible optical equipment.

Applications

Live Event and AV Rental Links

Use this live event fiber cable reel for temporary connections between control positions, stage-side equipment and network racks fitted with compatible multimode optical interfaces. The reel format supports transport and cable management across changing venue layouts.

Broadcast Production and OB Support

For broadcast teams and OB van support, specify this broadcast fiber optic cable assembly where the equipment, optical interfaces and installed channel are compatible with OM3.

Temporary Network Restoration

A portable fibre reel can provide a temporary route during maintenance or emergency network restoration when the existing system uses compatible multimode optics. Select the assembly according to the required cable length, connectors and deployment environment.

Handling and Deployment

1. Position the reel securely and release the connector tails from their storage points.
2. Pay out the cable using the reel’s supplied arrangement. Handle the main cable rather than pulling on the LC connectors or breakout legs, and observe the agreed cable bend radius.
3. Inspect and clean connector end faces before connection. Follow the agreed fibre numbers and equipment pairing.
4. After use, cap the connectors, retrieve the cable with the reel’s actual rewind arrangement and secure the breakout tails for transport.

Custom Assembly Options

For a custom armoured fibre patch lead, send HHD Fiber the application, fibre type, cable length, connector requirements and deployment conditions. Breakout length, reel arrangement, identification labels and optical acceptance criteria can be agreed before production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this OM3 cable be used for a 10G connection?
OM3 supports 10GBASE-SR links up to 300 m under the relevant system conditions. This assembly has a physical cable length of 200 m. Confirm the transceivers, total installed channel length and optical loss budget before deployment.

This product is presented as a pre-terminated cable assembly with the portable reel. The connector-end arrangement, breakout details and reel configuration are confirmed for the order.
