BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC Green

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC Green is a 20-metre multimode OM3 fibre cable designed for high-speed, full-duplex data transmission in data centres and enterprise networks. It features two LC and two SC terminations to connect equipment with mixed connector interfaces. The 50 µm core diameter and OM3 specification support laser-optimized multimode performance for short- to medium-range links where low latency and high bandwidth are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides reliable high-bandwidth connectivity with low attenuation and consistent signal quality across the 20 m length. The combination of LC and SC connectors offers flexibility for connecting different types of networking equipment without additional adapters. OM3 multimode construction enables compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand applications while maintaining predictable loss and return characteristics suitable for structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, servers and storage in data centres
• InfiniBand high-performance computing links
• Short- to medium-range backbone and patch panel connections
• Mixed-connector environments requiring LC to SC interfaces

Key specifications

• Length: 20 m
• Fibre type: OM3 (multimode)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector configuration: 2x LC to 2x SC
• Polarity: full duplex
• Jacket colour: green

How to use

Inspect connectors for contamination and clean with approved fibre cleaning tools before installation. Route the cable following recommended bend-radius guidelines for multimode fibre to avoid attenuation. Insert LC and SC connectors into corresponding ports until they engage securely, ensuring correct polarity for full-duplex links. Verify link integrity with appropriate testing equipment or via the connected devices' diagnostics after installation.

Recommendations

Use this OM3 multimode cable for short- to medium-distance high-speed connections; avoid tight bends and physical stress, keep connectors covered when not in use, and perform end-to-end testing after installation to confirm signal levels and link performance.
