Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP3131GU20MK LC OM5 20 m Green

The BlueOptics SFP3131GU20MK LC OM5 20 m Green is a 20-metre multimode fibre optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth data transmission in modern network infrastructures. Built to OM5 specifications with a 50 µm core diameter and LC connectors on both ends, this fibre cable provides stable optical performance for short- to medium-range links in data centres, server rooms and enterprise networks. The green jacket identifies its OM5 classification and helps with cable management in dense installations.

Advantages

This OM5 multimode fibre cable offers predictable optical characteristics for high-speed links, reduced modal dispersion thanks to the 50 µm core, and reliable end-to-end connections with standardized LC connectors. The 20 m length accommodates flexible rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment cabling without intermediate splices. The cable jacket and connector construction are engineered for durability to maintain signal integrity and reduce the need for frequent replacements.

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels until they click into place. Route the cable through cable management trays or guides to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. When disconnecting, press the LC connector latch and pull straight to avoid damaging the connector ferrule. Test the link after installation using appropriate optical test equipment to verify signal quality and attenuation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and maintain proper routing in rack enclosures. Use labelled patch panels and colour-coding practices to keep OM5 links identifiable. Verify compatibility of connected transceivers and networking equipment with OM5 multimode fibre to ensure expected bandwidth and distance performance.
