Fibre Optic Cable CUC Exertis Connect 392944 5m LC Aqua

The Exertis Connect 392944 5m LC Aqua OM3 fibre optic cable is a multimode patch lead designed for short- to medium-distance high-speed data transmission. With a 50 µm core diameter and LC connectors on both ends, this 5-metre cable supports reliable connectivity in structured cabling, server rooms and network racks. The aqua jacket identifies it as OM3 grade, suited for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications where low loss and controlled modal dispersion are required.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre cable provides consistent signal integrity over a 5 m length, offering low insertion loss and stable performance for high-density installations. The LC connectors ensure a compact footprint in patch panels and transceivers, while the aqua-colored jacket enables quick visual identification within a bundle of cables. The multimode design with a 50 µm core delivers good coupling efficiency with common multimode transceivers and reduces sensitivity to small alignment tolerances.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet patching in data centres and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area networks
• Short- to medium-range multimode links within campus and enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Cable jacket colour: Aqua
• Typical application: Data centre and enterprise network patching

How to use

Route the 5 m LC–LC OM3 cable between the desired transceivers, switch ports or patch panel ports, taking care to avoid tight bends and compressive stresses on the connectors and cable jacket. Insert each LC connector firmly into the corresponding LC receptacle until it latches. Verify link status and performance with appropriate network testing tools and check for acceptable insertion loss and return loss values when commissioning the link.

Usage recommendations

Maintain a gentle bend radius consistent with multimode fibre guidelines, avoid excessive tugging on the cable and keep connector end-faces clean using proper fibre cleaning tools before insertion to ensure optimal transmission and reduce the risk of signal degradation.
