Fibre optic cable BlueOptics EFE080-001M-R-BO LC LC/UPC 1 m Yellow

The BlueOptics EFE080-001M-R-BO LC to LC/UPC fibre optic patch cable is a 1 m single-mode link designed for short-distance high-performance connections. It uses G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter, offering low attenuation and high signal integrity for InfiniBand and other low-loss optical networks. The cable jacket is yellow for easy visual identification in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides consistent single-mode transmission with connectors terminated in LC/UPC for stable mating and low insertion loss. The G.657.A1 fiber specification ensures enhanced bend performance compared with older single-mode types, reducing risk of signal degradation in constrained cable runs. The 1 m length supports tidy cabling and minimal excess loop in equipment rooms.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation to ensure cleanliness; clean with appropriate fibre wipes or cleaning tools if necessary. Plug LC connectors into matching LC/UPC ports on transceivers, patch panels or equipment, making sure clips are fully engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius specified for G.657.A1 fibre to preserve signal integrity. For orderly installations, use cable management panels or ties that do not compress the cable.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connector endfaces protected when not in use, avoid tight bend radii and prevent repeated flexing near the connector. Use this 1 m LC–LC single-mode cable where short, direct connections are needed in data centre and telecom environments.
