Ubiquiti UOC-3 UniFi ODN 3m OM3 Multimode LC-LC Fiber Patch Cable
Overview
The Ubiquiti UOC-3 is a 3-meter duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable from the UniFi ODN (Optical Distribution Network) series. It is designed for indoor telecommunications and data network connections using Ubiquiti routing and switching products, including EdgeRouter, EdgeSwitch, and UniFi Switch platforms [citation:1][citation:10]. The cable enables 10G Ethernet links over OM3 multimode fiber with LC connectors on both ends.
Connectors and Fiber Type
The UOC-3 features LC/UPC male connectors on both ends in a duplex configuration, with 50/125 µm core and cladding dimensions [citation:1][citation:6]. The OM3 fiber standard supports wavelengths of 850 nm and 1310 nm, making it suitable for short-reach 10G applications within data centers and equipment racks [citation:1][citation:11]. The cable jacket is constructed from PVC with a 2.0 mm outer diameter per fiber [citation:1][citation:6].
Compatibility
The cable is compatible with SFP and SFP+ modules that use LC duplex interfaces, including Ubiquiti UFiber optical modules [citation:8]. It is intended for indoor use with Ubiquiti networking equipment that supports OM3 multimode fiber connections [citation:10]. The UOC-3 is available in lengths of 0.5 m, 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, and 5 m to accommodate different rack and interconnect distances [citation:8][citation:11].
Key Features
- 3-meter duplex multimode OM3 fiber patch cable with LC-LC connectors
- Supports 10G Ethernet speeds over 50/125 µm multimode fiber
- UPC polish with insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB
- Aqua/turquoise PVC jacket for easy identification
- Operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C
Applications
The UOC-3 is used to establish short-distance fiber links between Ubiquiti switches, routers, and other equipment with SFP/SFP+ ports. Typical deployments include rack-to-rack connections within data centers, interconnecting EdgeRouter and EdgeSwitch platforms, and linking UniFi Switch equipment in enterprise networks [citation:1][citation:10]. The cable is also suitable for indoor telecommunications installations where electromagnetic immunity and distance beyond copper limits are required.
DC Supplies Product Note
The UOC-3 is a passive fiber patch cable only—SFP modules are not included and must be purchased separately. Verify that your equipment uses LC duplex interfaces before ordering. This cable is rated for indoor use; outdoor or direct-burial installations require a different cable type with appropriate jacketing. The 3-meter length is suitable for adjacent rack connections; longer runs may require the 5-meter variant or a different cable specification.
