Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 050502K512000005M 5 m 2x LC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 050502K512000005M is a 5 m fibre optic cable featuring two LC/APC connectors and OM3 multi-mode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for full duplex communication, this LC–LC cable supports high-speed data transmission between patch panels and optical transceivers in structured networks. The cable is supplied with a flame-retardant LSZH jacket and is intended for short- to medium-range multimode links where OM3 performance is required.

Advantages

The cable combines OM3 laser-optimized multimode fibre with LC/APC connectors to provide low attenuation and high return loss for reliable signal integrity. BlueOptics uses branded fibre and proven connector components to ensure consistent performance; production testing includes interferometer and OTDR verification and a measurement report of input loss and return loss values. The LSZH sheath reduces harmful halogen emissions and limits smoke in case of fire.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect both connector end-faces before installation and ensure they are free from dust or debris. Route the 5 m cable between the two LC/APC ports, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension that could stress the fibre. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC/APC adapter or transceiver port until it clicks, ensuring correct duplex orientation for transmit and receive channels. If necessary, verify optical loss and link continuity with appropriate test equipment using the provided measurement values.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum specification, use LC dust caps when connectors are not mated, and perform end-face inspection and cleaning before each connection. Use OTDR or power-meter testing after installation to confirm link loss meets system requirements.
