Cables Direct FB3M-LCLC-010D | 1m OM3 LC/UPC Aqua Fibre
The Cables Direct FB3M-LCLC-010D InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m LC LC/UPC Aqua colour is a short-link solution for high-speed data environments. This cable is suited for network engineers connecting servers, switches, or storage arrays within a single rack. Because it uses OM3 multimode fibre, it supports 10Gbps transmission over short distances. The aqua jacket identifies standard multimode fibre, aiding quick visual identification in dense installations.
Cables Direct FB3M-LCLC-010D InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m LC LC/UPC Aqua colour
This specific model features LC to LC connectors with UPC polish, optimised for low insertion loss. The 1-metre length is ideal for neat rack-to-rack jumps without excess cable slack. In practice, the LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions, which is a common safety requirement in UK data centres.

OM3 Bandwidth for 10G Performance
The OM3 multimode construction offers higher bandwidth than older OM2 cables. This supports 10Gbps transmission up to 300 metres, though this 1m lead is for very short links. Because the core is 50µm, it is optimised for VCSEL-based 10G transceivers. This ensures reliable signal integrity for short-distance high-throughput tasks.
LC/UPC Connectors for Precision
The LC connectors provide a secure, high-density interface for modern network hardware. The UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish minimises back reflection, returning 35 dB as specified. This helps maintain a clean signal-to-noise ratio in high-speed networks. Always verify that your equipment ports match the LC interface before purchase.
LSZH Jacket for Safety Compliance
The cable uses a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. In practice, this material limits toxic fumes during combustion, a key consideration for UK building regulations. The aqua colour clearly indicates multimode fibre, reducing the risk of misconnection in mixed cable plants. Note that specific UKCA or CE compliance is not stated in the input; verify this with the distributor if required for your site.
Full Duplex Connectivity
This cable is configured as full duplex, allowing simultaneous bidirectional data transmission. This is standard for LC-based fibre links and requires no configuration. Because the connectors are male, you simply plug them into compatible SFP+ or QSFP ports. Ensure your transceivers support LC/UPC interfaces for best performance.
