BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m LC SC OM2

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m LC SC OM2 is a 5-metre multimode fiber patch cable with LC connector on one end and SC connector on the other. It uses OM2 laser-optimized multimode fiber to support full-duplex optical links for high-speed data transmission and is intended for connecting patch panels, transceivers and other optical equipment. The cable is supplied with a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) outer sheath and is manufactured and tested to industry quality standards to ensure consistent attenuation and return loss performance.

Advantages

This OM2 LC–SC cable offers low attenuation and high return loss values for reliable signal transfer over multimode links. Connectors are built with ceramic ferrules and branded fiber and connector components to maintain stable optical performance and long mating life. The LSZH sheath reduces halogen release and smoke in case of fire and the cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR with documented input loss and return loss measurements provided.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for dust or contamination and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before insertion. Route the cable without sharp bends, keeping bend radius within manufacturer recommendations for multimode fiber. Plug the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port, ensuring secure mating. Use the provided measurement protocol to verify input loss and return loss after installation and, if required, perform OTDR or power-meter tests to confirm link performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment and avoid kinking. For best results in multimode OM2 installations, keep link lengths within OM2 modal bandwidth limits and use compatible transceivers and patching hardware. Replace or clean connectors if measured loss increases beyond acceptable limits.
