BlueOptics InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 10m 2x SC LC/APC Green

The BlueOptics InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 10m 2x SC LC/APC Green is a multimode optical cable engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency data links. With a 10-metre length and a 50 µm core diameter, this cable supports full duplex InfiniBand connections and is intended for use in environments where dependable optical performance and minimal signal loss are required. The green outer jacket and mixed connector format — SC on one end and LC/APC on the other — make it suitable for interconnecting equipment with differing port types while maintaining consistent optical characteristics.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides stable high-speed data transmission with low attenuation across the multimode fibre core. The mixed connector configuration allows compatibility between devices with SC and LC/APC ports without additional adapters. A 10 m length gives flexibility for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections within server rooms and network closets. The construction is designed to ensure reliable duplex signalling for InfiniBand networks and to reduce insertion loss at connector interfaces.

How to use

Route the cable between the intended endpoints, avoiding sharp bends and tight cable ties that can stress the fibre. Insert the SC connector into the SC receptacle and the LC/APC connector into the LC/APC port, ensuring each connector latches or seats properly. Confirm duplex orientation so transmit and receive paths are matched. After installation, verify link integrity and optical power levels with appropriate testing equipment to ensure acceptable insertion loss and signal quality.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable according to standard fibre-optic best practices: keep connector endfaces clean, use protective caps when connectors are not mated, and maintain a minimum bend radius appropriate for multimode fibre. For critical links, perform end-to-end optical testing and document loss values to support network troubleshooting.
