BlueOptics 10G-SR-50M-BO Fibre Optic Cable LC Aqua 50m OM3

The BlueOptics 10G-SR-50M-BO Fibre Optic Cable LC Aqua 50m OM3 is a 50-meter multimode patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and high-speed optical connections. Fitted with LC connectors on both ends and using laser-optimized OM3 multimode fiber, this cable is intended for short-range data center and enterprise network interconnects. The cable jacket is LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), reducing toxic emissions in the event of fire while offering reliable mechanical protection for installed links.

Advantages

This LC–LC OM3 cable supports 10G-SR performance with low attenuation per kilometer and high return loss, and is manufactured using branded multimode fiber and proven connector components to ensure consistent optical performance. Each cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR and supplied with a measurement protocol for input loss and return loss. The LSZH sheath provides flame-retardant properties and reduced smoke and halogen emissions compared with PVC jackets.

Suitable for

• Connecting transceivers to patch panels in data centers
• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within campus and enterprise networks
• High-density rack and cabinet patching requiring LC connectors
• Multimode fiber links where OM3 performance is specified

Key specifications

How to use

Route the BlueOptics LC–LC OM3 cable through cable management and install it between LC ports of patch panels, switches or optical transceivers. Ensure connectors are clean before mating; use appropriate dust caps and a fiber-cleaning tool when necessary. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fiber. After installation, verify link performance with an optical power meter or transceiver diagnostics and consult the supplied measurement protocol for input loss and return loss references.

Recommendations

For best long-term performance, store and handle the cable by the jacket, keep LC endfaces capped until ready to connect, and follow manufacturer guidance for minimum bend radius. Use this OM3 cable for short-reach 10G-SR deployments and combine with compatible LC transceivers and patching hardware to maintain expected attenuation and return loss values.
