Network Cable BlueOptics EFE450-005M-AQ LC-LC Multimode Patch Cable 5 Meter

The BlueOptics EFE450-005M-AQ LC-LC Multimode Patch Cable 5 Meter is a multimode fiber patch lead designed for short-range, high-speed network connections. With factory-terminated LC connectors on both ends and a 5 m jacketed fiber, the cable supports reliable optical transmission and is intended for use in structured cabling systems such as data centers, server rooms and office networks. Its multimode design helps maintain signal integrity over typical campus and building backbone distances and reduces insertion loss in everyday patching scenarios.

Advantages

This BlueOptics multimode patch cable offers consistent optical performance and a standardized LC-LC interface that fits most modern networking equipment. The 5 meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections without excessive slack. Durable construction and precise connector end-face polishing improve long-term stability and reduce the need for frequent replacements.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in data centers
• Interconnecting optical transceivers and network equipment in server rooms
• Office network cabling and structured cabling installations
• Short-distance backbone links within buildings or campus environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode optical fiber (OMx, compatible with standard multimode systems)
• Connector type: LC on both ends (LC-LC duplex)
• Length: 5 meters
• Polish/type: Factory-terminated polished end faces for reduced insertion loss
• Jacket: Durable outer jacket suitable for indoor structured cabling
• Performance: Designed for high-speed data transmission with low attenuation over short distances

How to use

Connect one LC connector to the optical port of the network device or transceiver and the other LC connector to the corresponding port on the patch panel or switch. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid contamination-related signal degradation. Route the cable through cable management trays or patch panels to prevent physical stress and maintain bend radius. Avoid tight bends and mechanical strain to preserve optical performance and service life.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect and, if necessary, clean LC connector end faces with approved fiber cleaning tools before insertion. Use proper cable management and secure the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension. For multimode links, match fiber type and transceiver specifications to ensure optimal link performance.
