BlueOptics QK736A-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 30 m LC Violet

The BlueOptics QK736A-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 30 m LC Violet is a 30-meter multimode OM4 fiber patch cable with LC connectors on both ends. Designed for full duplex InfiniBand and high-speed networking links, it has a 50 µm core diameter and is intended for data center and enterprise cabling where low attenuation and reliable optical performance are required. The cable features a violet LSZH jacket and is produced with branded multimode fiber and zirconia ceramic ferrules to ensure consistent transmission quality and mechanical durability.

Advantages

This OM4 LC–LC cable provides low attenuation and high return loss suitable for demanding short- to medium-range high-bandwidth links. Manufactured using branded fiber and precision connectors, the cable supports up to 1500 mating cycles and is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR to deliver measured input loss and return loss values. The LSZH sheath reduces halogen emission and smoke in the event of fire and meets common industrial safety and environmental standards.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects and high-performance computing clusters
• Data center patch panels and rack-to-rack optical links
• Optical transceiver connections in switches, servers and storage devices
• Short- to medium-distance multimode fiber backbones

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode fiber
• Length: 30 m
• Connector type: LC to LC (both ends)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Duplex mode: Full duplex
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Typical performance: low attenuation, high return loss (factory tested)
• Durability: up to 1500 mating cycles for ferrules/connectors

How to use

Connect the LC connectors to matching LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or network equipment, taking care to align the keyed housing and push until it clicks. Route the cable in cable management guides or trays to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. For installation, verify measured input loss and return loss against system requirements and replace protective caps only when connecting to live equipment.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; avoid contaminating connector endfaces. Clean endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating and perform OTDR or insertion-loss measurements if precise link budgeting is required. Use LSZH-sheathed cables where reduced smoke and halogen-free behavior are important for safety in enclosed spaces.
