BlueOptics CBL-LC-OM3-7.5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2x LC LC/APC Aqua 7.5m

The BlueOptics CBL-LC-OM3-7.5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a duplex multimode link with LC/APC terminations on both ends and a length of 7.5 metres. Designed for high-speed data transmission, the cable uses a 50 µm core diameter OM3 fibre and an aqua outer jacket for straightforward identification in structured cabling environments. It is intended for short- to medium-range connections within racks, between switches and storage arrays, or between equipment in data centre and network installations.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low insertion loss and consistent signal performance across multimode OM3 specifications, supporting InfiniBand applications and other high-bandwidth protocols. Duplex LC/APC terminations ensure stable full-duplex communication and reduced back-reflection. The 7.5 m length balances reach and cable management needs, while the aqua colour coding helps maintain organised cabling runs in racks and patch panels.

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before installation, and use appropriate dust caps until connections are made. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the fibre manufacturer to prevent signal degradation. Insert each LC/APC connector into the corresponding port until it clicks, ensuring correct orientation for duplex pairs. Secure the cable in racks or trays to prevent strain on the connectors and to keep cable runs tidy.

Recommendations

For consistent performance, clean LC/APC endfaces with suitable fibre cleaning tools prior to mating and avoid excessive pulling or tight bends. Use labelled cable management and colour-coded patching to simplify maintenance and future changes in the network layout.
