BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m SC OM2 234457-B21-BO

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m SC OM2 234457-B21-BO is a 2 meter multimode fibre patch cable with SC/UPC connectors designed for high-speed optical links. With OM2 laser-optimized multimode fibre and SC-SC termination, the cable is intended for short-range data transmission in network racks, patch panels and server connections. The sheath uses LSZH material to reduce smoke and eliminate halogen emissions in case of fire, and the cable is produced and tested to meet common industrial quality requirements.

Advantages

This 2 m SC–SC OM2 cable provides low attenuation and high return loss suitable for reliable InfiniBand and fibre optic links. Manufactured using branded multimode fibres and precision ceramic ferrules, the cable offers consistent mating durability and controlled optical performance. Each cable is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR and supplied with measured input loss and return loss values, ensuring predictable behaviour in structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels and optical transceivers in data centres
• Short-range multimode links within racks and equipment rooms
• InfiniBand interconnects and high-speed network uplinks

Key specifications

• Length: 2 meters
• Fibre type: OM2 multimode, laser-optimized
• Connector type: SC/UPC to SC/UPC (SC–SC)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Tested: interferometer and OTDR with provided input loss and return loss measurements
• Durability: zirconia ceramic ferrule with high mating cycle reliability

How to use

Route the cable between the two SC ports to be connected, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress. Ensure connectors are free of dust and contamination before insertion; clean ferrules with appropriate fibre-cleaning tools if necessary. Insert SC connectors into corresponding SC ports until they click into place and verify link integrity using your network equipment or an optical power meter. For best performance, keep bend radius within manufacturer recommendations and secure the cable within cable management accessories in racks and patch panels.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment and perform connector cleaning before installation. Use the provided measurement protocol to verify that input loss and return loss meet system requirements and select fibre lengths and polish types appropriate for the specific optical transceivers and link distances.
