Fibre optic cable BlueOptics X66260-30-BO 30 m LC G.657.A1

The BlueOptics X66260-30-BO 30 m LC G.657.A1 is a single-mode fibre optic patch cable designed for full-duplex high-speed data transmission. It uses laser-optimized G.657.A1 fibre with a 125 µm core diameter and LC connectors on both ends, making it suitable for direct connections between patch panels, optical transceivers and network ports. The cable is sheathed in flame-retardant LSZH material to reduce smoke and avoid halogen release in case of fire, and it is fully tested for insertion loss and return loss to ensure predictable, interference-free performance.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable provides low attenuation and high return loss values, supporting long-reach single-mode links with consistent signal quality. Connectors are built on zirconia ceramic ferrules and components are sourced from established manufacturers to achieve reliable mating durability. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR equipment and supplied with measurement data for insertion loss and return loss. The LSZH jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces and the G.657.A1 fibre type offers improved bend performance compared with standard single-mode fibres.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and switches in data centres and server rooms
• Connecting SFP/SFP+ optical transceivers to network equipment
• Office and telecom backbone links requiring single-mode full-duplex connections
• Environments where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is required

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors and fibre endfaces for dust or contamination before installation and clean them with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends; respect the minimum bend radius recommended for G.657.A1 fibre to preserve low loss performance. Plug the LC connectors into compatible duplex ports on patch panels or transceivers until they click into place, then verify link integrity using optical power meters or transceiver diagnostics. Store and handle the cable carefully to avoid kinking and to maintain the measured insertion and return loss values.

Usage recommendations

Use this BlueOptics 30 m LC-LC cable for connections between rack-mounted equipment and within fiber distribution panels. For optimal long-term performance, keep connector dust caps on when not in use, perform periodic endface inspections, and avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources even though optical fibre is immune to electrical interference.
