BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 10 m 2x CS LC/APC

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 10 m 2x CS LC/APC is a 10-metre multimode fibre assembly designed for high-speed data transmission in InfiniBand and other low-latency network environments. The cable features two CS connectors on one end and LC/APC connectors on the other, providing full duplex connectivity with a 50 µm core diameter. Its design supports reliable optical performance and precise connector mating suitable for data centres, server interconnects and high-performance computing links.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines compact CS connector density with LC/APC end-face geometry to deliver stable optical insertion loss and return loss characteristics. The 50 µm core diameter supports multimode transmission over short to medium distances while maintaining signal integrity. Full duplex configuration and robust connector interfaces reduce the number of physical fibres required for bidirectional links and simplify routing in rack and patch-panel installations.

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before installation and ensure both devices are powered down or in a low-activity state if possible. Align the CS connectors with compatible sockets and insert until a secure latch is felt; mate the LC/APC connectors carefully into their corresponding ports, observing the angled physical contact orientation. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. After connection, verify link status and perform optical diagnostics or BER tests as required by your network procedures.

Recommendations

Keep protective caps on connectors when not in use and clean connector end faces with approved fibre cleaning tools. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling forces; use cable management to secure the run. For critical InfiniBand links, confirm compatibility of connector types and perform insertion loss checks after installation to ensure expected performance.
