BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 30 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 30 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC is a 30-metre duplex multimode fibre optic cable designed for high-speed data transmission in data centre and network environments. The cable uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and provides full-duplex links with LC and SC connector terminations to connect InfiniBand equipment, switches, transceivers and patch panels. The combination of LC and SC connectors supports mixed-equipment setups and migration scenarios where different port types coexist.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre cable delivers high bandwidth and low attenuation suitable for short- to medium-range links, enabling reliable 10GbE and higher-speed InfiniBand connections depending on equipment. The duplex construction ensures simultaneous transmit and receive channels, while the factory-terminated LC and SC connectors provide consistent optical performance and easy plug-and-play installation. Using multimode OM3 fibre reduces the need for costly single-mode transceivers in local data centre links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters
• Patch panel to switch or transceiver connections in server rooms
• High-speed short-range links within data centres and telecom rooms
• Mixed-connector environments requiring LC to SC terminations

Key specifications

• Cable length: 30 m
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector A: 2 x LC
• Connector B: 2 x SC (with APC on LC end as indicated)
• Transmission: full duplex
• Application: InfiniBand and multimode fibre Ethernet links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics fibre cable by connecting the LC connectors to the LC ports on your transceivers or patch panel and the SC connectors to compatible SC ports on switches or devices. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid signal loss; use dust caps until final installation. Route the cable along existing cable trays or guided pathways, avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress, and secure with appropriate cable management to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent damage.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify that connected equipment supports OM3 multimode fibre and the intended data rates. Clean connector endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before use, avoid kinking the cable, and maintain bend radii according to manufacturer guidelines. Use this cable for short- to medium-range links inside racks, between racks, or across telecom rooms where OM3 multimode performance meets system requirements.
