BlueOptics 10G-SR-7.5M-BO Fibre Optic Cable LC/APC 7.5m OM3

The BlueOptics 10G-SR-7.5M-BO Fibre Optic Cable LC/APC 7.5m OM3 is a multimode patch cable engineered for high-speed short-range data transmission. It uses OM3 graded multimode fibre and LC/APC connectors in a duplex configuration to support reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over a 7.5 metre channel. The design targets data centre and enterprise network environments where low loss, stable optical performance and compact connector interfaces are required.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable offers low insertion loss and return loss consistent with LC/APC connector geometry, enabling efficient signal transfer for 10G short-range links. The duplex LC/APC connector pair supports full-duplex communication and simplified fibre routing in dense patching panels. With a 7.5 m length, the cable balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections within server rooms and network closets.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable between the two devices ensuring minimum bend radius is respected to avoid microbending losses. Insert each LC/APC connector into the appropriate duplex adapter or transceiver port, aligning the keyed housing and pushing until it latches. For duplex operation, maintain correct polarity so transmit and receive channels correspond between connected devices. Secure excess cable to cable management hardware to prevent strain on connectors and ports.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to avoid contamination of APC endfaces. Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre-cleaning tools before mating. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling; observe the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius. Use duplex LC/APC adapters and transceivers compatible with multimode OM3 fibre for optimal performance.
