BlueOptics LRCABLE15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m 2x LC

The BlueOptics LRCABLE15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m 2x LC is a single-mode fibre link designed for full-duplex high-speed data transmission. With a G.657.A1 fibre type and a 9 µm core diameter, this 15-metre cable provides low-loss connectivity between InfiniBand ports using two LC connectors. The cable is intended for short- to mid-distance connections inside data centres, server rooms and network racks where reliable optical performance and compact LC termination are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable uses G.657.A1 bend-insensitive single-mode fibre, reducing sensitivity to tight bends and improving installation flexibility in confined routing paths. The 9 µm core supports standard single-mode optical performance for InfiniBand equipment and enables full duplex communication for simultaneous bidirectional data flow. Two LC connectors offer a compact form factor compatible with high-density ports, while the 15 m length suits common rack-to-rack and rack-to-switch runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand host channel adapters to switches or routers within data centres
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch optical links where LC terminations are required
• High-speed computing clusters and storage networks that require low-latency fibre links
• Patch panel to equipment connections in server racks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: G.657.A1 (bend-insensitive single-mode)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: 2x LC (duplex)
• Mode: single-mode, full duplex

How to use

Route the cable through rack channels or cable management trays, avoiding sharp bends beyond the fibre's minimum bend radius. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding InfiniBand port until it clicks, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive pairing for full duplex operation. Verify optical link status on connected equipment and, if required, use optical power meters or link diagnostics to confirm signal levels and link integrity after installation.

Recommendations

Maintain gentle bend radii and avoid tight kinks during installation; store and label the cable to match port assignments; periodically inspect connector endfaces and clean with approved fibre cleaning tools to prevent signal loss. For long-term reliability, avoid excessive mechanical stress and keep dust caps on unused connectors.
