BlueOptics InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 1m 2x SC LC/APC Green

The BlueOptics InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 1m 2x SC LC/APC Green is a 1-metre multimode fibre patch cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand and short-reach data centre links. It uses OM3-grade glass with a 50 µm core diameter to support dense, low-loss transmission and full-duplex communication via SC and LC/APC connector interfaces. The green outer jacket identifies the cable for easy network management while keeping a compact profile suitable for patch panels and active equipment.

Advantages

This cable combines OM3 multimode performance with SC and LC/APC connector types to provide stable, low-reflection connections for InfiniBand systems. Its 50 µm core diameter and controlled modal bandwidth enable reliable data throughput at short to medium distances. The pre-terminated 1 m length reduces installation time and potential connector contamination compared with field-terminated solutions.

How to use

Route the cable through the rack or patching area with minimal bending and secure it with appropriate cable management to avoid stress on the connectors. Ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating to active ports using suitable cleaning tools or wipes designed for fibre optics. Plug the SC and LC/APC connectors into the matching sockets on transceivers or patch panels, observing the correct polarity for full-duplex operation. Verify link status and optical power levels with appropriate test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable by the connector boots and maintain bend radii within manufacturer limits. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and perform endface inspection regularly to preserve signal integrity in InfiniBand environments.
