BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC is a 3-metre duplex multimode patch cable designed for high-speed data links in InfiniBand and fibre optic networks. Constructed with OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core, the cable provides reliable signal transmission for short- to medium-range connections and uses LC and SC terminations to interface with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

This 3 m fibre optic cable combines LC and SC connectors to offer flexible connectivity between equipment with differing port types. The OM3 multimode fibre supports higher bandwidth and optimized performance for short-range high-speed links. Full duplex capability ensures simultaneous bidirectional data flow, and the standardized connector types facilitate easy installation and maintenance in data centre and network rack environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or debris before connection. Align LC and SC connectors with the corresponding ports and insert until secured by the connector latch. Use the cable to link InfiniBand adapters, switches or transceivers, ensuring correct matching of multimode transceivers and supported distances. Avoid tight bends and protect the cable from sharp edges; route and secure the cable in the rack or cable management system to prevent stress on the terminations.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in InfiniBand and high-speed multimode applications, use compatible OM3-rated transceivers and keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Maintain minimum bend radius guidelines and avoid excessive pulling force during installation to preserve link quality and longevity.
