BlueOptics CAB-SMF-SC-SC-30 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m SC SC

The BlueOptics CAB-SMF-SC-SC-30 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m SC SC is a single-mode patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in network and datacentre environments. Constructed with G.657.A1 fibre and a 125 µm core diameter, the cable supports low attenuation and minimal signal distortion over its 30-metre length. SC connectors on both ends provide reliable mechanical mating and consistent optical performance for InfiniBand links and optical networking equipment.

Advantages

This single-mode fibre cable provides stable optical transmission with low insertion loss and good bending performance thanks to the G.657.A1 fibre specification. The 30 m length offers flexible routing options across racks or between rooms without intermediate splicing. SC connectors ensure straightforward push-pull connections and wide compatibility with devices featuring SC ports. The cable construction is suitable for professional installations where predictable optical behaviour and signal integrity are required.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand links and high-speed cluster interconnects
• Connections between switches, transceivers and patch panels with SC ports
• Data centre backbone and horizontal cabling runs up to 30 m
• Server room and telecom equipment interconnections

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode G.657.A1
• Core diameter: 125 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC, duplex style
• Cable length: 30 m
• Application: InfiniBand and optical networking
• Performance: low attenuation and improved bend tolerance

How to use

Select appropriate patch panels or device ports with SC interfaces and route the cable along cable trays or underfloor paths, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress. Insert the SC connectors until they click into the adapter or port socket, ensuring correct polarity and alignment for duplex links. For best optical performance, keep connector endfaces clean and use a fiber inspection tool or lint-free wipes and approved cleaning fluid when necessary.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, maintain bend radii above the minimum specified for G.657.A1 fibres, secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors, and perform periodic inspection and cleaning of endfaces. Use compatible transceivers and verify link parameters after installation to confirm expected attenuation and signal quality.
