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

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 10 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC is a 10-metre multimode OM3 fibre designed for full-duplex high-speed data transmission. With two LC and two SC connectors it provides end-to-end connectivity suitable for InfiniBand links and short-to-medium distance trunking in server rooms and data centres. The cable uses 50 µm core fibres that support industry-standard multimode optical systems and is intended for reliable, low-loss signal transport in networking installations.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode construction offers stable bandwidth and lower modal dispersion for applications that require consistent performance over short to medium distances. The presence of both LC and SC terminations allows compatibility with a wider range of network equipment and patch panels without additional adapters. Full-duplex capability ensures simultaneous bi-directional communication, and the 10 m length balances reach and cable management needs in rack and cabinet environments.

How to use

Install the fibre cable by aligning and inserting the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports on your devices or patch panels, taking care to avoid contaminating the end faces. Route the cable along cable trays or within racks to minimise bends; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to prevent attenuation increases. For InfiniBand links ensure proper matching of transmit and receive pairs and verify link status after connection. Clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before making connections and secure excess cable to reduce strain on terminations.

Recommendations

Use this OM3 50 µm cable for internal data centre and server-room connections where multimode performance is required. Avoid tight bends, direct crushing, and prolonged exposure to temperatures beyond equipment specifications. Regularly inspect and clean connector end faces to maintain optimal signal integrity.
