BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m 2x CS LC/APC

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m 2x CS LC/APC is a 5-metre multimode OM3 cable designed for high-speed, full-duplex InfiniBand connections. It features two CS connectors on one end and LC connectors with APC polish on the other, delivering low-loss optical links suitable for data centre and high-performance computing networks. The 50 µm core diameter and OM3 specification support short-range, high-bandwidth transmission and compatibility with equipment that requires multimode fibres for InfiniBand fabrics.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides reliable high-throughput links with low attenuation thanks to OM3 multimode fibre and APC-angled LC terminations. The combination of CS and LC/APC connectors enables flexible connectivity between modern InfiniBand transceivers and networking equipment that use compact CS interfaces. Its 5 m length is suitable for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in dense installation environments while maintaining predictable signal integrity for full duplex data transfer.

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation to ensure cleanliness and absence of damage. Align the CS and LC/APC connectors with the corresponding transceiver or adapter ports and insert them gently until they secure. Use appropriate cable management to avoid tight bends and strain on the connectors; maintain bend radii recommended for OM3 multimode fibre. For changes or maintenance, disconnect by depressing the connector latch (if present) and pulling straight out to avoid damaging ferrules.

Recommendations

Use fibre cleaning tools and inspection microscopes when installing or servicing links to ensure optimal signal performance. Avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic or heat sources, and store spare cable length in loops with gentle curves to preserve fibre integrity.
