BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC is a 1-metre multimode OM3 cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand links and short-reach data centre interconnects. Constructed with a 50 µm core diameter, the cable supports full duplex transmission and is suitable for environments requiring low insertion loss and stable optical performance. Connectors on the ends provide LC and SC interfaces, with LC/APC termination where specified to ensure reliable mating with compatible transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre cable provides a compact, high-bandwidth solution for short-reach networking, offering low attenuation and consistent multimode performance across typical InfiniBand frequencies. The mixed connector configuration (LC to SC with LC/APC option) allows flexible deployment with existing infrastructure, reducing the need for additional adapters. Its 1 m length helps maintain tidy cable management in racks and equipment bays while ensuring minimal signal loss over local connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Identify the correct ports on your InfiniBand equipment or optical transceivers and align the LC and SC connectors accordingly. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to avoid contamination-related loss; use a lint-free wipe or approved fibre cleaning tool. Insert connectors gently until the latch or ferrule seats; do not force. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with appropriate cable management accessories to maintain minimum bend radius for OM3 multimode fibre.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable following standard multimode fibre practices: keep connector endfaces covered when not connected, avoid tight bends and tensile stress, and perform regular visual and optical cleaning to maintain signal integrity in high-density InfiniBand environments.
