Fibre optic cable BlueOptics EFE080-0030M-R-BO LC LC/UPC G.657.A1 30 m Yellow

The BlueOptics EFE080-0030M-R-BO is a 30 m single-mode fibre optic patch cable designed for reliable high-speed connections in telecommunication and data network environments. It uses G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter and LC/UPC connectors on both ends. The cable's yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels and cable trays while maintaining low bend sensitivity for flexible routing in installations with limited space.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers single-mode performance optimized for modern networks, combining the low attenuation and controlled mode field diameter of G.657.A1 fibre with LC/UPC precision connectors. The 30 m length matches typical patching and horizontal runs, and the yellow jacket improves onsite management and identification. Its construction reduces microbending and macrobending losses, supporting consistent signal integrity over longer distances.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and rack-to-rack patching
• Telecom backbone and distribution links
• FTTx premises where compact routing and low bend loss are required
• Laboratory setups and test equipment connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: G.657.A1 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector type: LC/UPC to LC/UPC
• Length: 30 meters
• Jacket color: yellow
• Bend-insensitive design suitable for tight routing

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the LC/UPC connectors into the corresponding LC adapters or device ports, ensuring the connectors are clean and the ferrules are undamaged. Route the cable through cable management channels or trays, avoiding sharp bends beyond the specified minimum bend radius. For best optical performance, verify end-face cleanliness with appropriate cleaning tools before connection and use standard fibre test equipment to confirm insertion loss and return loss after installation.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid tight kinks and mechanical stress. Clean connector end faces before mating and use labeled routing paths to maintain easy identification. When deploying in high-density or constrained spaces, ensure bend radius guidelines for G.657.A1 fibre are observed to preserve signal quality.
