BlueOptics 10G-SR-1M-BO Fibre Optic Cable 1m LC/APC OM3 50µm

The BlueOptics 10G-SR-1M-BO Fibre Optic Cable 1m LC/APC OM3 50µm is a single 1‑metre multimode patch cable designed for short‑reach high‑speed networking. It uses LC/APC terminations and OM3 graded‑index multimode fibre with a 50 µm core to support full‑duplex 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and other high‑bandwidth interconnects in data centres, telecom closets, and network equipment racks.

Advantages

This 1 m LC/APC OM3 cable provides low attenuation and controlled modal bandwidth for reliable short‑reach transmission. The LC/APC connectors offer low back reflection combined with compact form factor, suitable for high‑density panels. The OM3 50 µm multimode fibre supports 10 Gbps over typical short distances and is compatible with common multimode transceivers and patch panels, simplifying installation and interoperability.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring minimum bending radius is maintained and connectors are protected from dust before insertion. Align the LC/APC connectors with the corresponding ports and insert gently until the latching mechanism clicks. For full‑duplex links, install one cable per direction or use a duplex cable assembly as required by the equipment. Test the link with appropriate fibre test equipment or transceiver diagnostics to verify signal quality and attenuation.

Recommendations

Keep connector endfaces capped when not in use, avoid sharp bends or pressure on the cable, and store spare length coiled with a gentle radius. Use appropriate cleaning tools for APC endfaces to maintain low insertion loss and reflection levels.
