Fibre optic cable BlueOptics CAB-OM3-LC-LC-5M-BO Aqua colour 5m OM3

The BlueOptics CAB-OM3-LC-LC-5M-BO is a 5-meter multimode fiber optic patch cable in aqua OM3 specification with LC connectors at both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and data centre environments, this LC‑to‑LC OM3 cable supports full duplex connections and is intended for short‑reach multimode applications. The cable features laser‑optimized OM3 fiber, LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheathing and is factory‑tested for insertion loss and return loss to meet typical industry requirements.

Advantages

This OM3 LC‑LC patch cable offers low attenuation and controlled return loss values suitable for high bandwidth multimode links. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen release in the event of fire and is appropriate for indoor and data‑center installations. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for consistent mating performance and a rated lifecycle typical for enterprise patching. Each cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR and is delivered with measured insertion loss and return loss values.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, patch panels and optical transceivers in data centres
• High‑speed multimode links within server rooms and telecom rooms
• Short‑reach backbone and horizontal cabling where OM3 performance is required
• Environments where LSZH sheathing is preferred for safety and low smoke

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 5 meters
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Transmission: full duplex multimode optical link
• Tested for insertion loss and return loss; supplied with measurement protocol
• Compliance: manufactured to common industrial safety and performance standards (see product details)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics LC‑LC OM3 cable by aligning the LC connector keys with the adapter or transceiver ports and pushing until a light click confirms engagement. Use proper bend radius practices for multimode fiber to avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius and to prevent increased attenuation. Route the cable along cable trays or management panels and avoid tight kinks or pressure points. If cleaning is needed, use fiber‑grade cleaning tools and refrain from touching ferrule endfaces with bare fingers.

Usage recommendations

For optimum performance, use this OM3 patch cable for links within the same building or data centre tier and pair it with OM3‑rated transceivers and patch panels. Keep connectors capped when not in use and store cables coiled with gentle loops. If you require different lengths or polished connector types for improved return loss, consult technical specifications or contact support for options.
