Network Cable BlueOptics CB-LC-LC-MMF3M Compatible LC-LC Multimode Patch Cable 3 Meter

The BlueOptics CB-LC-LC-MMF3M Compatible LC-LC Multimode Patch Cable 3 Meter is a multimode fiber patch cable designed for short- to medium-distance high-speed data transmission. With LC connectors on both ends and a 3 meter length, this cable provides a straightforward connection between networking equipment such as switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centres, server rooms and office networks. The cable construction supports multimode fibre performance characteristics suitable for typical Ethernet and fibre channel links within buildings.

Advantages

This LC–LC multimode patch cable offers consistent optical performance and easy installation thanks to compact LC connectors. The 3 m length balances reach and manageability for rack- and desk-level connections. The cable is compatible with standard multimode ports and transceivers, allowing interoperability with common networking hardware. Durable jacket materials and factory-polished connectors help maintain signal integrity and reduce insertion loss over repeated mating cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centres and server rooms
• Connecting network equipment in office environments and wiring closets
• Short-run multimode links for Ethernet, Fibre Channel and storage networks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Length: 3 meters
• Polish type: Factory polished end-faces for low insertion loss
• Cable application: Indoor patching and rack-to-rack connections

How to use

Check that both devices support multimode LC connections and that the transceivers or ports are powered down if required by your site procedures. Remove protective dust caps from the LC connectors before insertion. Align the LC connector latch with the port and insert until you hear or feel a click. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it using cable management to maintain bend radius and reduce strain. When disconnecting, press the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools, and store with dust caps when not in use. Use this cable for multimode short-run connections within buildings and verify transceiver and port specifications for optimum link budget.
