Fibre optic cable BlueOptics EFE080-0050M-R-BO LC LC/UPC 5 m Yellow

The BlueOptics EFE080-0050M-R-BO LC LC/UPC 5 m Yellow is a single-mode fibre optic patch cable with a 9 µm core diameter, designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in network and telecom environments. This 5 metre cable uses LC connectors with UPC polish on both ends and is built on G.657.A1 fibre specifications to provide low attenuation and good bend performance. Its yellow jacket ensures easy identification in cable bundles and structured cabling systems.

Advantages

This fibre cable delivers consistent optical performance with low insertion loss and return loss typical for LC/UPC connections. The G.657.A1 fibre type offers improved bend sensitivity compared to older single-mode variants, making it suitable for installations with tight routing. The compact LC connector design allows high-density patching in equipment panels and switches while the 5 m length provides flexibility for inter-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector end-faces before installation and clean them with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to prevent contamination and signal degradation. Route the cable following bend-radius guidelines for G.657.A1 fibre to maintain low attenuation; avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. Plug LC connectors into corresponding LC ports on transceivers, patch panels, or switches, ensuring secure seating. Verify link status and optical power levels after connection.

Recommendations

Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and store spare cables coiled without tight loops. For optimal performance, perform end-to-end testing after installation and follow industry-standard handling procedures for single-mode fibres.
