BlueOptics LRCABLE30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m LC

The BlueOptics LRCABLE30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m LC is a single-mode LC-to-LC patch cable using G.657.A1 optical fiber. Designed for high-speed networking, the 30 m length and LC/UPC connectors make it suitable for linking patch panels, optical transceivers and InfiniBand endpoints. The cable is sheathed in flame-retardant LSZH material and is manufactured with high-quality zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded optical fiber to ensure low attenuation and reliable signal transmission.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable provides low input loss and high return loss values by using laser-optimized G.657.A1 single-mode fiber and precision LC/UPC connectors. Components from established manufacturers are used to ensure durability and a long mating-cycle lifetime. The LSZH jacket reduces halogen emission and smoke in case of fire, and each cable is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR to provide documented attenuation and return-loss measurements.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand transceivers and switches over short to medium distances
• Linking patch panels and rack-mounted optical equipment
• Data centre and server room fiber runs where single-mode LC connections are required
• High-speed networking applications that require low attenuation and stable return loss

Key specifications

• Length: 30 m
• Connector type: LC/UPC to LC/UPC (duplex)
• Fiber type: Single-mode G.657.A1 (laser-optimized)
• Jacket material: LSZH (flame retardant, low smoke, halogen-free)
• Typical performance: low attenuation per km and high return loss (factory tested)
• Ferrule material: zirconia ceramic
• Compliance: manufactured and tested to common telecom requirements (including OTDR and interferometer testing)

How to use

Connect one LC connector to the optical transceiver or patch panel port and the other LC connector to the corresponding port at the remote device, observing correct polarity for duplex links. Handle the connectors by their boots and avoid touching the ferrule endfaces; use dust caps when the cable is not connected. Route the 30 m cable through cable management trays or secure it using appropriate ties to prevent sharp bends and strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Store and transport the cable on gentle coils to avoid microbends; maintain a bend radius recommended for single-mode fiber and avoid sharp kinks. For critical links, verify input loss and return loss after installation using suitable test equipment and compare results with the supplied measurement protocol. If a different polish type or optimized return-loss specification is required, consult the supplier for available options.
