BlueOptics SFP2122BU5MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m LC SC

The BlueOptics SFP2122BU5MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m duplex patch cable with LC and SC terminations, designed for high-speed networking connections. Built with G.657.A1 single-mode fibre and a 9 µm core diameter, the cable supports reliable optical transmission with low attenuation and good bend performance. The cable jacket and connectors are engineered for typical data centre and telecommunication environments where InfiniBand links and optical patching are required.

Advantages

This fibre patch cable provides consistent signal integrity over short to medium link distances thanks to its single-mode G.657.A1 construction and 9 µm core. The combination of LC and SC connectors offers compatibility with a wide range of network equipment, transceivers and patch panels. The 5 m length simplifies rack-to-rack or cabinet-to-panel routing while reducing the need for additional adapters.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable between the LC and SC ports, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Maintain gentle bends to preserve the G.657.A1 bend-insensitive performance and avoid sharp kinks or excessive tensile stress. Insert the SC connector into the SC port until it locks and plug the LC connector into the corresponding LC transceiver or adapter, confirming secure seating. After installation, test the optical link with appropriate diagnostic equipment to verify attenuation and link quality.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; use dust caps when connectors are not connected. For optimal performance in dense cabling areas, follow recommended bend radius guidelines for single-mode G.657.A1 fibre and avoid routing that places undue stress on connectors or the cable jacket.
