Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 221692-B22-BO LC OM2 5 m Ochre

The BlueOptics 221692-B22-BO LC OM2 5 m Ochre is a 5-meter multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC to LC connectors and OM2 graded fibre. Designed for full-duplex optical links, this cable supports high-speed short-range data transmission with low attenuation and standard-compliant construction. The ochre-colored outer sheath provides clear visual identification in structured cabling environments while the LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire.

Advantages

This fibre patch cable uses laser-optimized multimode OM2 fibre for consistent signal quality and low insertion loss. Precision ceramic ferrules and industry-standard LC connectors ensure stable mating performance and long connector life. The cable is manufactured and tested to industry norms including OTDR and interferometer measurements for input loss and return loss, providing measurement documentation for each unit. The LSZH sheath offers improved fire safety by emitting very low smoke and no halogens.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels and network switches in data centers and server rooms
• Interconnecting optical transceivers and SFP/SFP+ modules
• Short-range multimode links in campus or enterprise networks
• Environments requiring LSZH cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC (duplex)
• Length: 5 meters
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Color: Ochre
• Tested: OTDR and interferometer; includes input loss and return loss measurements
• Durability: zirconia ceramic ferrules; up to 1500 mating cycles (typical for ferrule design)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 5 m LC–LC OM2 patch cable by aligning and inserting the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on patch panels, switches, or transceivers. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable following standard bend-radius guidelines for multimode fibre and secure it with cable management hardware to avoid stress or kinks. After installation, verify the link performance using available network diagnostics or OTDR and compare measured insertion loss and return loss against required specifications.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep LC connector endfaces clean and protected with dust caps until ready to connect. Observe minimum bend radius and avoid tight loops or crushing forces. Use LSZH cabling where low smoke and halogen-free characteristics are required by local regulations or facility standards. If specific return loss or polish-type adjustments are needed, consult measurement documentation or contact support for custom options.
