Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP3133GU5MK LC ST OM5 5 m Aqua

The BlueOptics SFP3133GU5MK LC ST OM5 5 m Aqua is a 5-metre multimode fibre optic patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed data links. Featuring LC and ST terminations and OM5 fibre, the cable supports full-duplex transmission and is suitable for connecting network equipment such as switches, transceivers and patch panels. The aqua jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling environments while the 5 m length balances reach and manageability for typical rack-to-rack or room-to-room connections.

Advantages

This fibre patch cable offers low insertion loss and stable optical performance consistent with OM5 multimode specifications, providing predictable signal integrity over short to medium distances. The combination of LC and ST connectors ensures compatibility with a wide range of network ports and legacy equipment. The pre-terminated, factory-tested construction reduces installation time and helps maintain consistent link performance.

How to use

Inspect connectors and fibre ends for dust or damage before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Plug the LC end into the SFP transceiver or LC port and the ST end into the corresponding ST receptacle, taking care to align connectors properly and avoid excessive bending of the cable. Route the cable through cable management channels or trays to minimise strain and maintain bend radius recommended for multimode fibre. After connection, verify link status and optical power levels with network diagnostics or monitoring tools.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely to avoid tight bends, keep connectors capped when not in use, and follow OM5 multimode handling practices to preserve performance. Use appropriate dust covers and cleaning procedures and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference in sensitive environments.
