Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks BS77931/3 1m LC Aqua OM3

The ShiverPeaks BS77931/3 1m LC Aqua OM3 is a single-length multimode fibre optic patch cable designed for high-speed network links. It features LC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter compliant with OM3 specifications, supporting duplex data transmission. The cable's aqua jacket identifies it as OM3 grade and helps with organised cabling in data centres and networking closets.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre patch cable delivers predictable multimode performance with low insertion loss and consistent optical characteristics across short and medium distances. Its LC-to-LC termination provides reliable, small-form-factor connections compatible with modern transceivers and patch panels. The 1 m length reduces excess cable slack in tightly packed racks, while the aqua jacket colour aids visual identification in mixed-fibre installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, servers and patch panels in data centres
• Short-run backbone or horizontal cabling in enterprise networks
• High-speed multimode links using LC transceivers (10G and compatible systems)
• Organised patching in telecom rooms and network cabinets

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode, OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: Aqua (OM3 identification)
• Mode: Duplex

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and clean if necessary with appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Insert one LC connector into the network device port and the other into the corresponding patch panel or transceiver, ensuring proper orientation and secure seating. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. For best signal integrity, avoid excessive tensile stress on the cable during and after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the OM3 cable in a dry environment away from dust and contaminants; use dust caps on connectors when not connected. For 10 Gb/s multimode applications and compatible transceivers, verify link budget and connector cleanliness to maintain expected performance.
