BlueOptics OM2 Multimode Fibre Optic Cable LC‑LC 10 m Orange - CAB‑MMF50‑LC‑LC‑10‑BO

BlueOptics CAB‑MMF50‑LC‑LC‑10‑BO is a 10 m multimode fibre optic duplex cable (OM2) with LC connectors on both ends. It is intended for reliable full‑duplex data transmission in short‑reach links such as SAN, InfiniBand and network patching. The orange LSZH jacket aids identification in data centre and patching environments.

Advantages

The cable offers OM2 multimode performance in a pre‑terminated LC‑to‑LC duplex format, simplifying installation and reducing connector loss. LC UPC polished connectors provide consistent low insertion loss and the low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces hazardous emissions in confined spaces. The orange colour makes cable runs easier to trace in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach multimode links within data centres
• Storage Area Network (SAN) connections and InfiniBand links
• Network patch panels and equipment interconnects
• Environments requiring LSZH cabling for safety or regulations

When it may not be suitable

This OM2 multimode cable is not designed for long‑distance singlemode links; for longer runs or singlemode systems a singlemode fibre cable should be chosen. It is also not suitable where different connector types or custom connector polishes are required.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM2 (50/125 µm)
• Length: 10 m
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Connector polish: UPC
• Duplex/full‑duplex support: Yes
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Route the duplex LC‑LC cable between devices or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation of transmit and receive pairs. Insert LC connectors into compatible LC ports until they click. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors; follow standard fibre handling and cleaning procedures before connection to maintain low insertion loss.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm OM2 multimode performance (50/125 µm) meets distance and bandwidth requirements
• Verify both endpoints accept LC connectors with UPC polish
• Ensure 10 m length and orange LSZH jacket fit routing and safety needs

Recommendations

Inspect and clean LC UPC endfaces before installation, avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and secure the cable to reduce mechanical stress for reliable long‑term operation.
