Network Cable BlueOptics Box EFE450-002M-AQ LC-LC Multimode Patch Cable 2 Meter

The BlueOptics Box EFE450-002M-AQ LC-LC Multimode Patch Cable 2 Meter is a multimode fiber patch cable designed for short-range high-speed data transmission in network environments. Its 2 m length and LC-to-LC connectors make it suitable for linking switches, patch panels and active equipment in data centers, server rooms and office network racks. The cable uses multimode fiber optimized for typical enterprise and campus applications where reliable connectivity and low insertion loss are required.

Advantages

This multimode patch cable features durable LC connectors with stable ferrule alignment to reduce connection loss and reflections. The 2 m length offers flexibility for tidy cable management in racks and cabinets while minimizing excess slack. High-quality fiber and manufacturing standards provide consistent optical performance for short-reach links, making the cable suitable for 10/40/100 GBASE short-reach multimode applications where applicable. The cable’s construction supports reliable mating cycles and consistent insertion/extraction behavior.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Connecting transceivers and SFP/SFP+ modules with LC interfaces
• Office network racks and structured cabling short links
• Lab and testbench short-range fiber connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Length: 2 meters
• Polish type: Angled or UPC depending on factory standard (check product label)
• Cable jacket: Patch cable jacket suitable for indoor rack and cabinet use
• Typical use: Short-range optical links within buildings

How to use

Install the BlueOptics LC-LC multimode patch cable by inserting each LC connector into the matching LC port on networking equipment or patch panels until the latch clicks into place. Route the cable along cable management channels or through patch panels to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. When disconnecting, press the LC latch and gently withdraw the connector to avoid stress on the fiber. Verify link status on connected devices and, if needed, measure insertion loss or optical power to confirm proper connections.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable with protective dust caps on connectors when not in use, avoid exposing connectors to dirt or moisture, and follow standard handling practices for fiber optic cables to minimize contamination and mechanical damage. For installations requiring guaranteed performance at specific data rates and distances, confirm multimode type and transceiver compatibility before deployment.
