Fibre optic cable BlueOptics CAB-OM3-SC-LC-50M-BO Aqua 50m OM3 LC SC

The BlueOptics CAB-OM3-SC-LC-50M-BO Aqua 50m OM3 LC SC is a 50-meter multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. It uses laser-optimized OM3 multimode fiber with LC/UPC and SC/UPC connectors arranged for full duplex operation. The cable features a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath and is manufactured to meet common industrial standards for fiber patching and interoperability.

Advantages

This 50 m OM3 LC–SC patch cable delivers low attenuation and high return loss values suitable for demanding optical links. Connectors use high-quality zirconia ferrules and established connector component manufacturers to ensure repeatable mating cycles and stable optical performance. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen release in the event of fire and supports installations in public, commercial or indoor spaces where low-smoke materials are required. Each cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR and supplied with measurement values for input loss and return loss.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels, switches and optical transceivers in data centres
• Campus and enterprise horizontal and vertical cabling
• Short- to medium-reach multimode fibre runs supporting 10GbE and similar applications
• Environments requiring LSZH sheathing for safety and reduced smoke

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 multimode, laser-optimized
• Length: 50 meters
• Connector types: LC/UPC to SC/UPC, duplex configuration
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Testing: interferometer and OTDR measurements for attenuation and return loss
• Standards compliance: manufactured according to common industrial safety and performance norms

How to use

Route the cable along protected pathways and secure it with appropriate cable management to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain. Insert the LC and SC connectors into their respective ports on patch panels, transceivers or switches following the duplex polarity required by your installation. Verify optical performance by checking the supplied input loss and return loss measurements and, if needed, perform an OTDR or insertion-loss test after installation to confirm link integrity.

Usage recommendations

Avoid bending the cable below its specified minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean and covered when not in use, and handle connectors by the housing rather than the ferrule to reduce contamination and wear. For multi-segment links, maintain consistent connector polish and polarity conventions to preserve signal performance.
