BlueOptics CBL-0206-07-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC/APC

The BlueOptics CBL-0206-07-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC/APC is a multimode-compatible single-mode fibre assembly designed for high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances. Constructed with G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter, this 7.5 m cable supports full duplex communication and combines an MTP-style connector with four LC/APC terminations to connect dense parallel links to standard LC ports in switches, servers and storage arrays.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low insertion loss and stable optical performance thanks to the G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fibre type. The combination of an MTP-style connector and four LC/APC connectors enables compact, high-density connectivity while preserving signal integrity for InfiniBand and other high-speed interconnects. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and intra-row connections in data centres without excess slack.

How to use

Route the cable following proper cable management practices to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Insert the MTP-style connector into the corresponding multi-fibre adapter or transceiver port, and connect the LC/APC connectors to the device LC ports, ensuring the angled polish orientation (APC) aligns with the receiving ports. Verify optical links using your network equipment's diagnostics or an optical power meter to confirm expected loss and continuity before returning systems to production.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, maintain bend radius according to the fibre manufacturer's guidelines, avoid repeated flexing at connector boots, and use dust caps when connectors are not in use. When deploying in data centre environments, label both ends and secure excess length in cable management trays to reduce strain and simplify maintenance.
