Multimode Patch Cable BlueOptics EFE450-0020M-AQ 20 Meter LC-LC

The BlueOptics EFE450-0020M-AQ 20 Meter LC-LC multimode patch cable is designed for short- to medium-range fiber optic connections where reliable high-speed data transmission is required. With LC connectors on both ends and a 20 m multimode fiber length, this cable supports typical network infrastructure in data centers, server rooms and office environments. The construction focuses on maintaining signal integrity and reducing attenuation across common multimode links.

Advantages

This multimode patch cable provides stable optical performance with standardized LC connectors for easy insertion into transceivers and patch panels. The 20 meter length offers flexibility in rack-to-rack or rack-to-equipment cabling without the need for intermediate splices. The cable is suitable for environments that require predictable multimode behavior and straightforward deployment, ensuring consistent connectivity and minimal signal loss over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, servers and storage within racks or across adjacent racks
• Patch panel to transceiver connections in data centers
• LAN backbone and consolidation points where multimode fiber is used
• Office and enterprise network links requiring 20 m multimode connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC (both ends)
• Fiber type: Multimode optical fiber
• Cable length: 20 meters
• Typical use: Short- to medium-distance optical links (intra-building)
• Designed for use with common multimode transceivers and patch panels

How to use

Before installation, verify that both ends of the LC connectors are clean and free of dust or contaminants. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Insert the LC connectors into the corresponding ports on transceivers or patch panels until they click into place. Test the link with appropriate optical test equipment or network diagnostics to confirm signal levels and end-to-end connectivity.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not in use and handle the cable by the connector boots to prevent contamination. For best performance, follow standard fiber handling practices: avoid bending beyond the cable’s bend radius, secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors, and perform end-face inspection and cleaning before final connection.
