BlueOptics optický kábel 5 m LC OM3

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m LC OM3 is a 5‑meter multimode fiber patch cable with LC Uniboot connectors and OM3 laser‑optimized multimode fiber. Designed for high‑speed data transmission in data centers and enterprise networks, this BlueOptics cable provides low attenuation, high return loss and compatibility with common optical connectivity equipment. The cable uses an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheath for improved safety in enclosed environments and is suitable for connecting patch panels, transceivers and network ports within racks and cabling runs.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss values that support reliable signal integrity over short to medium distances. Manufactured with branded multimode fiber and precision ceramic ferrules, the cable is produced and tested using interferometry and OTDR methods, and delivered with measured input loss and return loss data. The LSZH outer jacket reduces halogen release and smoke emission in case of fire, and the Uniboot LC connectors provide a compact duplex connection that simplifies cable routing in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Inter‑rack and intra‑rack connections in data centers
• Patch panel to patch panel or patch panel to transceiver links
• High‑speed multimode networking, including InfiniBand and Ethernet multimode links
• Enterprise network backbone and server cabinet cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 multimode (laser‑optimized)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: LC Uniboot duplex on both ends
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Tested with interferometer and OTDR; supplied with input loss and return loss measurements
• Designed for low attenuation and high return loss

How to use

Route the 5 m LC OM3 patch cable between the required ports, aligning the LC uniboot duplex connectors with the corresponding LC ports on patch panels or transceivers. Ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating to avoid contamination and signal loss; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Plug the connectors fully into their sockets until a positive latch is felt. Avoid tight bends and maintain the cable's minimum bend radius during installation to preserve optical performance. For existing installations, refer to measured input loss and return loss values to verify link budgets.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid twisting or kinking the fiber. Perform endface inspection and cleaning prior to connection, and follow data center cabling best practices—secure routing, proper bend radius, and strain relief—to maintain optimal multimode OM3 performance for InfiniBand and high‑speed Ethernet links.
