Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 10G-SR-30M-BO 2x LC LC/APC OM3 30m Aqua

The BlueOptics 10G-SR-30M-BO 2x LC LC/APC OM3 30m Aqua is a multimode fibre optic patch cable designed for high-speed short-range networking. With a 30-metre length and OM3-rated 50 µm core, this aqua-coloured cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission with full duplex capability via LC connectors. The cable is suitable for interconnects in data centres, server rooms and telecommunications closets where reliable, low-loss optical links are required.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable provides consistent performance for 10 Gb/s links and is engineered for low insertion loss and return loss thanks to precision LC connectors. The aqua jacket improves visual identification within structured cabling systems and simplifies cable management. Built to industry multimode specifications, it is compatible with transceivers and patch panels that accept LC connectors and OM3 fibres.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centres and server racks
• Short-range multimode links between switches and servers
• Patch panels, network distribution frames and optical cross-connects
• High-density cabling environments requiring LC connectors

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC (APC polishing)
• Length: 30 metres
• Bandwidth: Suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (short-range)
• Jacket colour: Aqua
• Mode: Full duplex

How to use

Connect one LC connector to the optical transceiver or patch panel port and the matching LC connector to the destination transceiver or patch panel. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating to minimise insertion loss; use a fibre cleaning tool or lint-free wipes with approved cleaning solution. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and excessive pulling force; respect minimum bend radius specified for multimode fibre to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean LC/APC endfaces before each installation, secure the cable along trays or within racks to prevent strain, and use appropriate patch panels or adapters when converting connector types. For reliable 10 Gb/s performance, keep link distances within OM3 short-range specifications and test links after installation with an optical tester.
