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

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m 2x SC LC/APC is a multimode OM3 patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in InfiniBand networks. With a 50 µm core diameter and full duplex configuration, this 15-metre cable connects devices using SC and LC/APC terminations to maintain low-loss, reliable optical links suitable for data centres, storage area networks, and other performance-sensitive environments.

Advantages

This cable combines OM3 multimode fibre with industry-standard SC and LC/APC connectors to deliver enhanced bandwidth and consistent signal integrity over short to medium distances. The full duplex design allows simultaneous bi-directional data flow, while the 15 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections. The use of LC/APC connectors reduces back reflections, improving link stability in sensitive high-speed applications.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before installation. Align the SC and LC/APC connectors with their respective ports and insert until secure; do not force connectors. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. After connecting, verify link status using the networking equipment’s diagnostics or an optical power meter to ensure correct signal levels and low insertion loss.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled without kinks and protect connector end faces with dust caps when not in use. Use fibre cleaners before mating connectors to minimise signal loss. For installations in high-density racks, label both ends for easier maintenance and follow data centre cable management practices to reduce stress on the fibre.
