BlueOptics CAB-SMF-LC-LC-50-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50 m 2x LC

The BlueOptics CAB-SMF-LC-LC-50-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50 m 2x LC is a single-mode optical patch cable designed for high-speed, low-loss connections in data centres and network infrastructures. Using G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter, the cable supports full duplex communication and is suitable for InfiniBand links and other high-bandwidth applications. The 50 metre length and LC to LC connector pair provide a reliable physical layer solution for connecting switches, servers and storage arrays across medium-distance racks and rooms.

Advantages

This single-mode cable delivers low attenuation and stable signal transmission thanks to the G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fibre specification and 9 µm core. LC connectors on both ends ensure compact, standardised connections compatible with a wide range of network equipment. With a 50 m length, the cable offers flexible routing options while maintaining consistent performance for full duplex InfiniBand communication.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand high-speed links between switches, servers and storage
• Data centre inter-rack and intra-room optical connections
• Server farm and HPC cluster interconnects
• Telecommunications and enterprise network backbones

Key specifications

• Fibre type: G.657.A1 single-mode (bend-insensitive)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector types: 2 × LC (duplex)
• Length: 50 m
• Transmission: full duplex
• Application: InfiniBand and high-bandwidth optical links

How to use

Route the BlueOptics 50 m LC–LC cable between compatible LC ports on your InfiniBand switches, host channel adapters or optical transceivers. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal loss; use appropriate dust caps when the cable is not in use. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius for G.657.A1 fibre during installation to preserve signal integrity. Secure the cable along racks or cable trays to prevent strain on connectors and transceivers.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean LC connector endfaces with fibre cleaning tools before connecting. For best performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling; follow standard optical fibre handling practices and use suitable cable management to maintain consistent signal quality in InfiniBand and data centre environments.
