BlueOptics SFP3132BU3MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m LC SC

The BlueOptics SFP3132BU3MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m LC SC is a multimode OM3 fibre link designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and enterprise networks. With a 3 metre length and LC to SC connector combination, this fibre cable provides a reliable physical connection for InfiniBand interfaces and other high-bandwidth equipment. The 125 µm core diameter and OM3 specification support short-reach, high-throughput links commonly required for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode fibre cable offers predictable attenuation and low insertion loss to maintain signal integrity over the specified reach. The combination of LC and SC connectors ensures compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. Constructed for data centre use, the cable balances flexibility and mechanical robustness to allow neat routing and secure connections in racks and cable trays.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand connections between servers and switches
• High-bandwidth short-reach links in data centres
• Patch panels and fibre distribution frames with LC and SC ports
• Migration or upgrade of multimode fibre infrastructure to OM3

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 125 µm
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: SC
• Length: 3 m
• Cable application: InfiniBand and short-reach high-speed links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until they click or seat firmly. Route the cable following standard data centre cable management practices to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for OM3 multimode fibre. Verify link status via connected equipment and perform optical loss testing if required to confirm adequate signal levels.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable beyond the minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, and use proper strain relief at connection points. Use compatible transceivers and verify that patch panel ports match the LC/SC configuration to ensure reliable InfiniBand links.
