BlueOptics ASR6-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m 2x LC LC/APC

The BlueOptics ASR6-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m 2x LC LC/APC is a duplex multimode cable designed for high-speed data links in server rooms, switches and storage networks. It uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and two LC connectors with APC polish, providing low-loss connections for InfiniBand networking over short to medium distances. The 1 metre length and compact LC terminations make this cable suitable for dense rack environments where reliable full-duplex transmission is required.

Advantages

The cable delivers consistent multimode performance using OM3 fibre and a 50 µm core, enabling high-bandwidth InfiniBand links with low attenuation. Dual LC/APC connectors offer stable, low-reflection mating to compatible transceivers and adaptors. Its 1 m length minimizes excess slack in rack installations and helps maintain neat cable management. The BlueOptics construction aims for repeatable connection quality and compatibility with common InfiniBand and fibre networking equipment.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable through the rack or patch panel, avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress that could damage the multimode fibre. Insert LC connectors into matching LC/APC ports on transceivers or patch panels until they click into place, ensuring proper orientation for APC-polished ferrules. Verify link status on connected equipment and test signal quality with an appropriate fibre tester if needed.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment to maintain connector integrity. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified for multimode fibre during installation, and use cable management accessories to prevent strain. For critical links, perform end-to-end testing and visual inspection after installation to confirm low-loss performance.
