Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 00MN502 1 m LC Aqua OM3

The BlueOptics 00MN502 1 m LC Aqua OM3 fibre optic cable is a multimode patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured networks. With LC connectors on both ends and an OM3 aqua jacket, this 1 metre cable supports short-range multimode links commonly found in data centres, server rooms and enterprise LANs. The cable conforms to OM3 optical characteristics and uses a 125 µm core diameter fibre to deliver reliable signal integrity for modern networking equipment.

Advantages

This LC–LC OM3 cable provides consistent multimode performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications at short distances. The aqua colour coding allows easy identification of OM3 grade cabling within densely packed cable runs. Its 1 m length offers a compact, low-loss connection between adjacent devices or within patch panels, reducing excess cable management and improving airflow in racks.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode links in data centres and server rooms
• Patch connections between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth multimode applications
• Enterprise LAN backbone and distribution cabling

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: LC on both ends (LC–LC)
• Core/cladding diameter: 125 µm core (multimode standard cladding)
• Jacket colour: Aqua (OM3 identification)
• Application: Short-range high-bandwidth multimode links

How to use

Prepare devices by ensuring compatible LC ports on both ends, and handle the fibre by the connector housing to avoid contaminating endfaces. Remove protective dust caps immediately before insertion and insert LC connectors until they click into place. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; observe minimum bend radius specified by equipment manufacturers. When disconnecting, press the LC latch gently and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule or transceiver port.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep fibre endfaces clean using lint-free wipes and approved cleaning fluid. Use this 1 m OM3 LC–LC cable for connections within racks or between adjacent devices; for longer links select appropriate OM3 patch cords or singlemode alternatives as required by link budget and distance. Label both ends for asset management and regularly inspect connectors and bends to preserve signal quality.
