Fibre optic cable BlueOptics EFE350-002M-AQ-R-BO LC LC/UPC OM3 2 m Aqua

The BlueOptics EFE350-002M-AQ-R-BO LC to LC/UPC fibre optic cable is a 2 m OM3 multimode patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and data centre environments. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM3 grading, this aqua-coloured cable supports short- to medium-range multimode links and is intended for use where consistent signal integrity and low loss are required. The LC/UPC connectors on both ends provide a compact, duplex interface compatible with a wide range of networking equipment.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre cable delivers predictable multimode performance with low attenuation and controlled modal bandwidth. The 50 µm core allows compatibility with common multimode transceivers and transceivers used in 10 GBASE-SR applications over appropriate distances. The LC/UPC duplex connectors are space-saving and provide stable, low-reflection connections. The 2 metre length is useful for patching between adjacent racks, panels, and transceiver ports while the aqua jacket color follows industry convention for OM3 identification.

How to use

Before installation, verify compatibility of the LC/UPC connectors and the OM3 multimode requirements of your transceivers and networking equipment. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre. Insert the LC connectors into the corresponding duplex ports until they click to ensure secure mating. For best performance, keep connector endfaces clean and use appropriate fibre-cleaning tools prior to connection.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics OM3 LC–LC cable for short patch runs and connections inside racks and cabinets. Regularly inspect and clean connector endfaces, avoid tight bundling or kinking, and choose cable lengths that minimise unnecessary excess to reduce insertion loss and maintain signal quality.
