BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m 2x CS LC/APC

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m 2x CS LC/APC is a 15-metre duplex multimode link designed for high-speed data transmission in data centre and high-performance computing environments. The cable uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and combines CS and LC/APC connector types to provide compatibility with InfiniBand transceivers and equipment that require CS on one end and LC/APC on the other. The full duplex design supports simultaneous bi-directional communication for low-latency, high-bandwidth links.

Advantages

This fibre cable offers OM3 graded multimode performance suitable for short to medium reach connections and applications that require reliable high-speed links. The combination of CS and LC/APC connectors allows flexible installation in racks and switches where different connector interfaces are present. With a 15 m length, the cable supports typical data centre routing without the need for additional patching. The design reduces signal loss and maintains stable transmission characteristics over the specified distance.

How to use

Route the BlueOptics InfiniBand cable between compatible devices ensuring both ends are clean and free of dust before connection. Insert the CS connector into the InfiniBand transceiver or adapter on one end and the LC/APC connector into the corresponding LC/APC port on the other device, observing correct polarity. Secure the cable to cable management fixtures to avoid sharp bends and tension, and verify link status on connected equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors with appropriate fibre inspection tools and clean with approved cleaning materials if contamination is present. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified for OM3 multimode fibre and avoid compressing the cable in rack mounts. For optimal performance, use with compatible InfiniBand transceivers and check system documentation for supported connector types and duplex orientation.
