Fibre optic duplex cable BlueOptics CAB-MMF50-LC-LC-3-BO OM2 multimode LC to LC 3 m Orange

BlueOptics CAB-MMF50-LC-LC-3-BO is a 3 m duplex multimode fibre optic patch cable for OM2 networks with LC connectors on both ends. The cable has an orange LSZH jacket for easy identification and provides LC-to-LC connectivity suitable for high-speed data, InfiniBand and short-range fibre links in data centres, SANs and network switches.

Advantages

The cable offers full-duplex multimode transmission with matching LC connectors on each end, a 3 m length for flexible patching and an LSZH outer jacket that reduces smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire. The orange colour helps with visual identification of multimode links.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode links in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panels, switches and SAN interconnects
• InfiniBand and other high-speed multimode applications

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for multimode OM2 fibre and short-range connections; it is not intended for long-distance single-mode links or environments requiring single-mode performance. If single-mode transmission or longer reach is required, choose a single-mode fibre cable instead.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM2 (50/125 µm)
• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: LC to LC (both ends)
• Duplex: Full duplex
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC adapter or transceiver port until it clicks. Use the duplex connectors to establish full-duplex links between switches, patch panels or SAN devices. Handle the fibre connectors by the boot and avoid touching the ferrule; keep dust caps on until connection and clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm network requires multimode OM2 (50/125 µm) fibre
• Ensure 3 m cable length fits rack and patch panel layout
• Verify LC connector compatibility with your equipment
• Choose LSZH jacket if low smoke materials are required

Recommendations

Use with matched multimode transceivers and clean connectors before each connection. Store coiled without sharp bends and avoid tight radii to maintain fibre performance.
