BlueOptics 10G-SR-5M-BO Fibre Optic Cable 5m LC/APC OM3 50µm

The BlueOptics 10G-SR-5M-BO Fibre Optic Cable 5m LC/APC OM3 50µm is a multimode duplex patch cable engineered for short-range high-speed data transmission. With a 5 meter length and LC/APC terminations, this OM3 fibre with a 50 µm core diameter is intended for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and other high-performance network connections requiring low insertion loss and consistent signal integrity.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides stable 10G performance over short distances thanks to OM3 multimode fibre construction and precise LC/APC connectors. The 50 µm core supports efficient light propagation for common short-reach applications, while duplex configuration enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The 5 m length offers flexible deployment in rack, cabinet and patch-panel environments with minimal excess cable management.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting each LC/APC connector into the corresponding LC/APC port on transceivers, switches or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to reduce insertion loss and protect optical performance. Route the duplex cable through cable management trays or holders to avoid tight bends; observe minimum bend radius guidelines for multimode fibre. Verify link status on connected equipment and, if necessary, perform optical loss testing to confirm acceptable performance.

Recommendations

Use fibre cleaning tools or wipes before each connection and avoid touching connector endfaces. Keep cable runs within recommended lengths for OM3 to maintain 10G signal quality, and secure duplex cables in racks to prevent strain on connectors.
