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

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m 2x LC LC/APC Green is a 15-metre multimode OM3 duplex cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet links. It has two LC connectors on each end in a duplex configuration and a 50 µm core diameter, providing low-loss transmission for short to medium-range data centre and networking interconnects. The green jacket and LC/APC termination indicate its compatibility with OM3 performance parameters and help ensure correct fibre type identification in cabling installations.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre cable offers high bandwidth and low attenuation suitable for InfiniBand applications and high-speed networking. The duplex LC–LC connector configuration supports full duplex data transfer and simplifies patching in dense racks and switch panels. Using a 50 µm core multimode fibre reduces alignment sensitivity for standard multimode transceivers while maintaining reliable signal quality over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand links in server and storage clusters
• 40/100 Gbps multimode networking within data centres
• Patch-panel to switch or transceiver connections
• Short- to medium-reach optical interconnects requiring OM3 performance

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: 2x LC to LC duplex (APC indicated)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Green

How to use

Install the cable by connecting the LC duplex connectors to compatible LC ports on InfiniBand host channel adapters, switches or transceivers. Ensure transceiver modules and patch-panel ports are rated for OM3 multimode fibre. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; observe minimum bend radius recommendations for multimode fibre. Verify link status on network equipment after connection and, if required, use optical power meters or certified testers to confirm signal levels and end-to-end continuity.

Recommendations

Maintain proper handling: keep connector end-faces clean, cap unused ends, and avoid excessive pulling or bending. Use the cable for distances and data rates appropriate for OM3 multimode specifications, and match connector polish and transceiver types to ensure optimal performance.
