BlueOptics SRCABLE20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m LC Beige

The BlueOptics SRCABLE20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m LC Beige is a 20-metre multimode OM3 patch cable with LC connectors designed for full-duplex InfiniBand and high-speed optical links. Constructed with laser-optimized multimode fiber and a flame-retardant LSZH jacket, this LC–LC cable is intended for short-to-medium distance connections in data centers and network racks, providing low attenuation, low input loss and high return loss for consistent signal transmission.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable uses branded multimode fiber and ceramic ferrule connectors to achieve stable optical performance and a high mating cycle lifetime. The LSZH sheath reduces halogen and smoke emission in the event of fire while meeting common industrial safety standards. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR and supplied with measurement results for input loss and return loss, helping to ensure predictable link behaviour in critical installations.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand connections between switches, host adapters and transceivers
• Patch panel-to-patch panel or patch panel-to-transceiver links in data centers
• High-density rack cabling and short-to-medium multimode runs up to 20 m

Key specifications

• Length: 20 metres
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode, laser-optimized
• Connector type: LC to LC (LC/UPC to LC/UPC)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Sheath: LSZH (flame-retardant, low smoke, halogen-free)
• Tested: interferometer and OTDR with documented input and return loss values
• Compliance: manufactured to common industry norms (e.g., Telcordia GR-326-Core requirements)
• Mating durability: high cycle lifetime with zirconia ceramic ferrules

How to use

Install the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation and secure seating. Route the cable along existing cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and tension; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM3 multimode fiber. Verify connections using optical loss test equipment if precise link performance data is required and retain the supplied measurement protocol for reference.

Recommendations

For reliable InfiniBand performance, avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius, keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools, and store the supplied test documentation. Use structured patching and labeling in rack environments to facilitate maintenance and minimize connector wear from excessive matings.
