BlueOptics SFP2122BU20MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m LC SC

The BlueOptics SFP2122BU20MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 20 m duplex patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in InfiniBand networks. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, and is built with single-mode OS2 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter. The cable is intended for rack, data centre and telecommunications installations where reliable, low-loss optical connections are required over moderate distances.

Advantages

This 20 m fibre optic cable provides low attenuation and stable signal integrity due to its OS2 single-mode fibre construction and 9 µm core. The mixed-connector configuration (LC to SC) ensures compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and equipment without the need for adapters in many setups. Its length and performance characteristics make it suitable for interconnecting switches, servers and optical modules in professional networking environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnection of InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters
• Data centre patching between racks and distribution panels
• Connecting optical transceivers with LC and SC ports
• Telecommunications links requiring single-mode OS2 fibre

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 metres
• Fibre type: single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector types: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Duplex configuration for bidirectional transmission

How to use

Install the BlueOptics fibre cable by aligning and inserting the LC connector into the appropriate LC port and the SC connector into the corresponding SC port of your transceiver or patch panel. Ensure connectors are clean and free from dust before mating to minimise insertion loss. Route the cable along designated cable trays or management paths, avoiding tight bends and excessive pulling force. For best performance, secure the cable to prevent movement and strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Prior to installation, inspect and clean connector endfaces with approved optical cleaning tools. Maintain a minimum bend radius as specified for single-mode fibre to avoid increased attenuation. Use the cable for distances and applications appropriate for OS2 single-mode fibre and verify link parameters after installation with an appropriate optical test tool.
