Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 050502T512000030M-BO 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC OM3 30 m Green

The BlueOptics 050502T512000030M-BO fibre optic cable is a 30 metre multimode assembly engineered for reliable, high-bandwidth data transmission. It features two LC connectors and two SC connectors and uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core, providing good performance for full duplex links and supporting high-speed networking and InfiniBand applications. The cable is presented in green jacketing and is intended for use in structured cabling, data centres and other environments where consistent optical performance is required.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable with a 50 µm core supports higher modal bandwidth than standard multimode grades, enabling extended reach at higher data rates. The mixed connector configuration — two LC and two SC connectors — offers compatibility with a wide range of transceivers, patch panels and network equipment. Its 30 metre length reduces the need for intermediate splicing or additional patch cords in larger racks and installations. The cable’s green jacket makes identification in multi-cable installations straightforward.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and patching
• InfiniBand and high-speed cluster links
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch fibre connections
• Telecommunications racks and structured cabling backbones

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connectors: 2 × LC and 2 × SC (dual) for duplex operation
• Length: 30 m
• Jacket colour: green
• Designed for full duplex optical links and high-bandwidth transmission

How to use

Route the cable through the cable management paths or trays to avoid sharp bends and compressive stress. Terminate each duplex pair by inserting the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports on transceivers, patch panels or active equipment, ensuring correct alignment for transmit and receive channels. Verify link integrity with appropriate optical test equipment or by checking device link status indicators. Avoid excessive bending radii and secure the cable with suitable ties or clamps to prevent strain at the connector interfaces.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, and use compatible OM3-qualified transceivers. Inspect and clean connector endfaces before installation and perform loss testing after installation to confirm expected attenuation levels for your network design.
