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

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC is a multimode OM3 duplex link designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and network infrastructures. This 5-metre cable features two LC connectors on one end and two SC connectors on the other, enabling full-duplex InfiniBand connections between switches, adapters and transceivers. The 50 µm core diameter and OM3 specification support enhanced bandwidth and laser-optimized performance for short to medium range links.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode fibre cable provides low insertion loss and stable signal integrity for InfiniBand applications. The mixed LC-to-SC connector configuration offers compatibility with a wide range of ports and transceiver types, while the 5 m length allows flexible rack-to-rack or device-to-device routing. The duplex construction supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels, reducing cabling complexity in dense network environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before installation. Route the cable along existing cable trays or within rack cable management to avoid tight bends; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for multimode fibre. Plug the LC connectors into LC ports and the SC connectors into SC ports on the corresponding devices, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Secure excess cable length with Velcro ties or cable managers to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this OM3 InfiniBand fibre cable in indoor, controlled environments such as data centres. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and harsh mechanical stress. Regularly inspect and clean connectors to maintain optimal optical performance and low bit error rates.
