Fibre optic cable BlueOptics CAB-SMF-LC-LC-7-BO 7.5 m G.657.A1 LC LC

The BlueOptics CAB-SMF-LC-LC-7-BO is a 7.5 m single-mode fibre optic patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission in networking and telecommunications environments. Built with G.657.A1 compliant fibre, this LC-to-LC jumper supports tight bend radius installations and provides stable optical performance for connections between transceivers, patch panels and active equipment in data centres and communication rooms.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines single-mode G.657.A1 fibre with LC connectors on both ends to offer consistent insertion loss and return loss suitable for modern networks. The 7.5 m length allows flexible routing within racks and across short cross-connects while the cable construction reduces sensitivity to bending and handling. LC connectors provide a compact interface for high-density ports and common transceivers.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between SFP/SFP+ and other LC transceiver modules
• Patching between rack-mounted patch panels and switches
• Telecommunications and carrier access links in equipment rooms
• Short- to medium-length backbone and distribution runs in data centres

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode G.657.A1
• Connector type: LC on both ends (LC–LC)
• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Bend-insensitive design suitable for tight routing
• Jacket: durable outer sheath for indoor deployment

How to use

Identify the LC ports on the network devices or patch panels you intend to connect. Align the LC connectors with the port receptacles and insert gently until a tactile click confirms engagement. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges and minimise stress on connector ends; maintain recommended bend radii even though the G.657.A1 fibre tolerates tighter bends. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight to prevent damage.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools or wipes before mating. Label both ends of the cable to simplify maintenance and document the connection in your network diagram. Avoid excessive pulling force on the cable and secure it with cable management accessories to prevent strain and preserve optical performance.
