Fibre optic cable BlueOptics EFE080-002M-R-BO LC LC/UPC 2 m Yellow

The BlueOptics EFE080-002M-R-BO LC LC/UPC 2 m Yellow is a 2-metre single-mode fibre optic patch cable designed for reliable, low-loss data transmission in structured network environments. It uses LC connectors with UPC polish on both ends and complies with G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fibre specifications. The cable has a 9 µm core diameter and a yellow jacket for clear visual identification in racks and cable runs.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss performance typical of LC/UPC terminations, while its G.657.A1 construction provides improved bend performance compared with standard single-mode fibres. Its 2 m length and compact LC connectors make it suitable for short patching between equipment in data centres, server rooms and telco cabinets. The yellow outer jacket enhances visibility and helps simplify cable management.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector end-faces for cleanliness before use and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Insert one LC connector into the device or patch panel port and the other LC connector into the corresponding port on the equipment to establish the optical link. Avoid tight bends near the connectors and maintain recommended bend radii for G.657.A1 fibre to preserve signal quality. Secure and route the cable in cable management trays or ties to prevent undue strain.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short patching runs and internal connections where a bend-insensitive single-mode fibre is required. Regularly inspect and clean LC/UPC end-faces, and avoid pulling on the cable jacket when installing. For longer links or external deployments select appropriate outdoor or longer-length single-mode cables.
