BlueOptics SFP2122BU2MS InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m LC SC Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP2122BU2MS InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m LC SC Yellow is a duplex multimode link designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and networking environments. The cable uses G.657.A1 fibre with a 125 µm core diameter and provides a reliable optical path between devices with LC and SC terminations. With a 2-metre length and yellow jacket, it is suited for short to medium runs where InfiniBand connectivity and predictable attenuation are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines standardized LC and SC connectors to facilitate compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. The G.657.A1 fibre type offers good bend performance and consistent signal quality, reducing the risk of attenuation in typical rack and conduit routing. The 2 m length provides flexibility for tidy cable management in densely packed equipment racks while maintaining low insertion loss for high-throughput applications.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects between switches, host channel adapters and storage nodes
• Patching in server racks and telecommunications cabinets
• Short to medium distance fibre links inside data centres and wiring closets

Key specifications

• Connector types: LC (one end) and SC (other end)
• Length: 2 metres
• Fibre type: G.657.A1
• Core diameter: 125 µm
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Topology: Duplex multimode fibre

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and ensure transceiver ports or patch panel adapters are free of dust and damage. Insert the LC connector into the corresponding LC socket and the SC connector into the SC socket until a secure connection is made. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain bend radii consistent with G.657.A1 recommendations. Verify optical link status using appropriate diagnostic tools and confirm signal levels and error statistics after connection.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable in a clean environment, use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and follow standard ESD precautions when working near active electronics. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force; use cable management accessories to prevent kinks and to maintain bend radius.
