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

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m 2x SC LC/APC is a duplex OM3 multimode cable designed for high-speed data links in server rooms, data centres and high-performance computing environments. With a 2 m length and SC to LC/APC connector combination, this cable supports InfiniBand protocols and provides stable, low-loss optical transmission over short to medium distances. The 50 µm core diameter and OM3 rating ensure compatibility with laser-optimized transceivers and improved modal bandwidth for demanding networking applications.

Advantages

The cable delivers full duplex communication with low attenuation and reliable connector interfaces, enabling consistent throughput for InfiniBand setups. OM3 multimode fibre provides increased bandwidth compared with earlier multimode grades, while the combination of SC and LC/APC connectors offers flexible endpoint compatibility. The 2 m length is practical for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections without excess slack.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force; respect the minimum bend radius indicated by the fibre manufacturer. Plug the SC and LC/APC connectors into the corresponding ports on transceivers, switches or host adapters, ensuring correct alignment and firm seating. Verify link status and signal integrity using network diagnostics or optical test equipment after connection.

Recommendations

Store and handle the OM3 fibre cable in a dry, dust-free environment. Use APC-optimized ports for LC/APC terminations to maintain return loss performance, and follow established data centre cable management practices to reduce stress and maintain optical performance over time.
