BlueOptics AV26-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC/APC

The BlueOptics AV26-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC/APC is a multimode OM4 link cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in network and data center environments. With a 50 µm core diameter and LC/APC connectors, this 7.5 metre cable supports low insertion loss and stable signal integrity over short to medium distances typical for server racks, switches and storage arrays. The cable's InfiniBand compatibility makes it suitable for latency-sensitive applications and high-throughput interconnects.

Advantages

This OM4 multimode fibre cable provides a balanced combination of bandwidth and reach for modern network infrastructures. LC/APC connectors ensure reliable mating and reduced back reflections compared to flat polish alternatives, while the 50 µm core supports higher modal bandwidth for faster data rates. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or shelf-to-shelf connections without excessive slack. The cable construction is intended for professional deployments where predictable optical performance matters.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces and clean them with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before installation. Route the cable through cable management trays or rack channels avoiding tight bends; adhere to the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Plug LC/APC connectors into compatible transceiver ports or adapter panels until a secure click is felt. After installation, verify optical link integrity and performance using a light source and power meter or by checking link status on networking equipment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid frequent connector mating cycles and store unused cable ends protected with dust caps. Use OM4 multimode transceivers rated for InfiniBand or compatible Ethernet standards to match the cable's modal bandwidth and achieve expected throughput.
