BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m MTP 4x LC Green

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m MTP 4x LC Green is a 5 metre multimode patch cable designed for high-density data centre and enterprise networking environments. Equipped with an MTP connector on one end and four LC connectors on the other, the cable supports full duplex InfiniBand links and is built with G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fibre to maintain signal integrity in confined or routed installations.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre cable combines high port density and compact connectors to reduce rack space use while enabling multi-channel data transmission. The G.657.A1 fibre construction improves bend performance and reduces attenuation in tight bends, which helps preserve link quality across patch panels and within cable trays. Colour-coded green sheathing simplifies identification and cable management in complex racks.

Suitable for

• High-speed InfiniBand interconnects between switches, servers and storage arrays
• Data centre patch panels and high-density aggregation racks
• Short- to mid-range multimode fibre links inside server rooms and equipment cabinets
• Environments where bend-insensitive fibre routing is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connector types: MTP to 4 × LC
• Fibre type: G.657.A1 (bend-insensitive)
• Transmission mode: full duplex
• Sheath colour: green for easy identification
• Suitable for high-density installations and multi-channel links

How to use

Install the MTP end into a compatible MTP port or cassette and connect the four LC connectors to the corresponding LC ports on the destination equipment or patch panel. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to avoid signal loss. Route the cable following standard bend radius guidelines for G.657.A1 fibre, avoiding sharp bends and pinch points. Secure the cable with appropriate management clips or ties to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable within structured cabling pathways and pair it with compatible InfiniBand transceivers and cassettes. Clean connector endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before each installation and maintain minimum bend radii as specified by the fibre standard to ensure consistent link quality.
