Glasvezelkabel BlueOptics X66260-05-BO 0,5 m LC G.657.A1

The BlueOptics X66260-05-BO 0.5 m LC G.657.A1 is a single-mode fibre optic patch cable designed for short interconnects in data centres, server rooms and networking racks. With LC to LC connectors and G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fibre, this 0.5 metre cable provides duplex optical links with a 125 µm core diameter and laser-optimized single-mode transmission. The cable uses an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer jacket and is intended for reliable, low-loss connections between patch panels, ports and transceivers.

Advantages

This BlueOptics patch cable offers low attenuation and high return loss suitable for precise optical links. The bend-insensitive G.657.A1 fibre reduces sensitivity to tight routing and cable management constraints, while LC/LC connectors provide compact duplex connectivity. The LSZH sheath minimizes hazardous emissions in case of fire and the product is manufactured and tested to industry quality standards to ensure consistent optical performance.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one LC connector to the optical port of the transceiver or networking device and the opposite LC connector to the patch panel or receiving port. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating to avoid increased insertion loss. Route the cable with gentle bends respecting the minimum bend radius recommended for G.657.A1 fibre to maintain signal integrity. For best results, secure the cable within cable management trays or organisers to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean LC connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short, direct patching inside racks; select longer lengths for cross-rack or longer in-room runs. Replace the cable if the connector ferrules show visible damage or if measured insertion loss exceeds acceptable limits for your application.
