BlueOptics EMC CBL-LC-OM4-30M InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m OM4

The BlueOptics EMC CBL-LC-OM4-30M InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m OM4 is a multimode LC-to-LC patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in data center and networking environments. It uses OM4 laser-optimized multimode fiber with a 50 µm core diameter and LC/UPC connectors on both ends to provide stable optical links for InfiniBand and other high-bandwidth applications. The cable is sheathed in flame-retardant LSZH material and is produced and tested to meet common industrial standards for optical performance and safety.

Advantages

This OM4 LC-LC fibre cable offers low attenuation and high return loss for efficient signal transmission over the specified distance. BlueOptics uses branded multimode fiber and established connector components to ensure consistent performance and a long mating cycle life. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR and supplied with measured input loss and return loss values. The LSZH sheath reduces toxic gas and smoke emission in case of fire, supporting safer installation in enclosed environments.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand connections between switches, servers, and storage systems
• Data center patch panels and cross-connects
• High-bandwidth multimode optical links and short-reach backbone segments
• Optical transceiver interconnects (LC/UPC to LC/UPC)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics OM4 LC-LC cable by aligning and inserting the LC connectors into the appropriate LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or device ports. Avoid excessive bending of the fiber near connectors and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Secure the cable along racks or cable management trays using non-compressive ties and ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating to reduce insertion loss and protect optical components.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean LC connector endfaces before each connection. Route cables to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; follow the manufacturer’s specified minimum bend radius. Use the supplied test measurements to verify link budget compliance in your installation and perform OTDR or insertion-loss testing after installation for critical links.
