BlueOptics SFP2122BU30MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m LC SC

The BlueOptics SFP2122BU30MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m LC SC is a single-mode optical patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. With a 30-metre length, LC to SC connectors and a 9 µm core diameter, this cable supports long-reach connections between InfiniBand equipment, switches and transceivers while minimising signal loss and maintaining transmission integrity.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides stable, low-attenuation links suitable for InfiniBand networks and other high-performance interconnects. The LC and SC connector combination allows flexible connectivity to a variety of transceiver modules and patch panels. Its 9 µm core diameter ensures single-mode operation for consistent signal propagation over longer distances, and the pre-terminated assembly reduces installation time and potential connector contamination compared with field-terminated fibres.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand host channels, switches and adapters over medium to long distances
• Inter-rack and intra-rack fibre runs in data centres and server rooms
• Linking transceivers and patch panels with LC and SC interfaces
• High-throughput computing clusters and enterprise networking backbones

Key specifications

• Length: 30 m
• Connector types: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Fibre type: single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Application: InfiniBand and high-speed optical interconnects
• Jacket: flexible protective outer sheath suitable for data centre environments

How to use

Inspect connectors for dust or debris before installation and, if necessary, clean with appropriate fibre optic cleaning tools. Route the cable along cable trays or through conduits avoiding tight bends and excessive tensile stress; adhere to the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for single-mode fibres. Insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the SC connector into the SC adapter or transceiver until a secure mechanical connection is achieved. Verify link status and test optical power levels and signal integrity after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent kinks and contamination of endfaces. Use dust caps when connectors are not engaged. For critical installations, test end-to-end transmission with appropriate InfiniBand-compatible test equipment and document optical loss values to ensure compliance with network design margins.
