Fibre Optic Cable CUC Exertis Connect 392730 0.5m LC ST Aqua

The CUC Exertis Connect 392730 0.5m LC–ST OM3 fibre optic cable is a short-length multimode link designed for high-speed network connections. It features an LC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other, with a 50 µm core diameter and OM3 specification to support bandwidth-demanding applications. The aqua jacket provides clear visual identification of multimode OM3 cabling in rack and patch-panel environments while the 0.5 metre length reduces excess slack in compact installations.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers multimode OM3 performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links at short to medium distances. The LC and ST connectors offer compatibility with equipment using either small-form-factor or bayonet-style terminations, enabling flexible connectivity between different devices. The 50 µm core supports effective modal bandwidth for data centre and enterprise networks, while the short 0.5 m length simplifies cable management in dense patching areas.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in data centre racks and telecom cabinets
• Short interconnects between networking equipment using LC and ST ports
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-patch-panel links in office and campus networks
• Environments requiring OM3 multimode performance for 10GbE and fibre channel

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode fibre (OM3)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connectors: LC to ST
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket colour: Aqua
• Typical use: Short-distance high-bandwidth links (10GbE-capable)

How to use

Verify that both devices accept the LC and ST connector types, then route the 0.5 m cable between ports avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension on the jacket. Insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle with a gentle push until it clicks, and align the ST connector with its bayonet-style fitting before twisting to lock. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to maintain signal integrity; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools or lint-free wipes and alcohol if needed. After installation, secure the cable to nearby management structures to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable by supporting the jacket and avoiding bending radii below manufacturer recommendations. Keep dust caps on unused connectors and clean connectors before connection. Use this 0.5 m OM3 LC–ST cable in short patching scenarios where multimode performance and mixed connector compatibility are required.
