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 patch cable designed for high-speed data links in networking and data centre environments. Constructed with OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter, the cable supports full duplex transmission and is compatible with equipment using LC and SC connector interfaces. The combination of LC and SC terminations provides flexibility when connecting InfiniBand adapters, switches and optical transceivers.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low-loss multimode transmission over a 30 m distance using OM3 grade fibre, which is optimized for high bandwidth applications. The mixed-connector design (2x LC and 2x SC with LC/APC referenced in the product name) simplifies integration between devices that use different connector types without additional adapters. The robust jacket and precision-terminated ends ensure consistent optical performance and reliable full duplex data flow for InfiniBand and other high-speed interconnects.

Suitable for

• Interconnections between InfiniBand cards and switches in server racks
• Short to mid-range multimode links in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panels and optical patching between LC and SC ports
• High-bandwidth applications requiring OM3 multimode fibre

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode fibre
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 30 m
• Connectors: 2x LC and 2x SC
• Transmission mode: Full duplex
• Typical use: Multimode short to mid-range optical links

How to use

Route the cable through cable management channels or trays to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Align and insert the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports until they click into place; ensure dust caps are removed immediately before termination to prevent contamination. For full duplex operation, connect the transmit side of one device to the receive side of the other and vice versa. Verify link status and optical signal levels on connected equipment after installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid bending the fibre beyond its minimum bend radius and keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Use this OM3 multimode cable for distances up to the recommended range for 10 Gbit and higher multimode applications, and confirm compatibility with your InfiniBand or optical transceiver specifications before deployment.
