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 patch cable designed for high-speed full-duplex data transmission in networking and server environments. It combines two LC connectors and two SC connectors to provide compatibility between equipment using different transceiver or patch-panel interfaces. The 50 µm core diameter OM3 fibre supports short-range high-bandwidth links typically used in data centres, storage area networks and InfiniBand clusters.

Advantages

This cable offers low attenuation and optimized modal bandwidth characteristics of OM3 multimode fibre for reliable high-rate signal transfer. The combination of LC and SC connector types allows flexible interconnection between modern high-density LC ports and legacy or rack-mounted SC ports without additional adapters. The 10-metre length provides sufficient reach for rack-to-rack or cabinet-to-cabinet connections while keeping cable management tidy. APC polishing on the LC/APC end reduces back reflection where required by certain transceivers and link designs.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable through cable runs and management systems avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; follow the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Insert the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports until they click or seat securely. Verify link status and signal integrity using network diagnostics or optical test equipment after connection.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable in dry, dust-free conditions and avoid kinks. For optimal performance, use compatible multimode transceivers designed for OM3 fibre and keep connector endfaces protected when not in use. Regularly inspect and, if needed, clean connectors to maintain low insertion loss and reliable operation.
