Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP3133GU0.5MK LC ST OM5 0.5m Lime

The BlueOptics SFP3133GU0.5MK LC ST OM5 0.5m Lime is a 0.5 metre OM5 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC to ST terminations, designed for full duplex data transmission. It provides a compact, colour-coded connection between network devices such as transceivers, switches and patch panels. The lime outer jacket makes cable identification simple in dense cabling environments and the OM5 grade glass supports short-range high-speed signalling across multimode links.

Advantages

The LC to ST configuration combines a small-form LC connector with the robust ST connector for flexible interconnection of different equipment types. With a short 0.5 m length the cable minimises excess slack and signal loss in tight rack or cabinet installations. Constructed to industry multimode specifications, this OM5 cable supports consistent full duplex performance and straightforward identification thanks to its lime-coloured jacket.

How to use

Ensure both devices to be connected are powered down or meet hot-plug guidelines for the hardware in use. Align the LC connector with the corresponding LC port and insert until it clicks; insert the ST connector into the ST receptacle and secure the bayonet coupling by twisting until it locks. Verify link status on connected equipment and check for expected signal indicators. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre.

Recommendations

Keep the cable free from sharp bends, strain and contamination. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and route the cable following structured cabling practices. For installations in high-density racks label or document lime-coloured OM5 links to simplify future maintenance and avoid mismatching fibre types.
