Fibre optic cable BlueOptics AJ833A 0.5 m LC OM3 Aqua

The BlueOptics AJ833A 0.5 m LC OM3 Aqua fibre optic cable is a multimode patch cable designed for short-range, high-speed data transmission in structured networks. With LC connectors on both ends and OM3 grade multimode fibre, this 0.5 metre cable supports high-bandwidth links in data centers, server rooms and enterprise network racks. The aqua jacket provides industry-standard colour coding for easy identification and tidy cable management.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre cable provides reliable multimode performance with low attenuation and stable signal transmission at short distances. The LC connectors offer a compact form factor suitable for high-density patch panels and transceivers. The pre-terminated 0.5 m length minimises excess cable in dense racks, simplifying routing and reducing insertion loss caused by bends. Aqua colour coding aids fast visual identification and organised cable runs.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections between switches, servers and transceivers in data centres
• High-density patch panels and blade server enclosures
• Multimode 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed multimode links
• Rack-to-rack interconnects within the same equipment bay

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Core/cladding diameter: 125 µm cladding (multimode core per OM3 standard)
• Jacket colour: Aqua (industry colour coding for OM3/OM4)
• Application: Short-range, high-bandwidth multimode links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the LC connectors into compatible LC ports on switches, network interface cards or optical transceivers. Ensure connectors are clean and free from dust before mating to avoid signal loss; use appropriate dust caps or a fibre cleaning tool if necessary. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and stress on the connectors, keeping bend radius within recommended limits for multimode fibre. The 0.5 m length is intended for close-proximity connections and patching in high-density environments.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify connector cleanliness before installation, maintain gentle cable routing with no tight bends, and use the aqua-coded cable for consistent multimode identification. When deploying in high-density racks, choose LC ports and patch panels designed for multimode OM3 to ensure compatibility and minimal insertion loss.
