BlueOptics SRCABLE2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m LC Beige

The BlueOptics SRCABLE2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2 m LC-to-LC multimode patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission. Built with OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber and LC/UPC connectors, this beige cable supports full-duplex links and is suited for short-range, high-bandwidth connections in data centres, server rooms and networking racks. The cable is manufactured with high-quality components, a zirconia ceramic ferrule and an LSZH flame-retardant sheath for reduced smoke and no halogen in the event of fire.

Advantages

This OM3 InfiniBand LC-LC cable offers low attenuation and high return loss to ensure reliable signal integrity for demanding optical links. Components are sourced from established manufacturers and the cable assembly uses precision ceramic ferrules for stable, repeatable connections and long connector lifetime. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR equipment and supplied with measured input loss and return loss values. The LSZH sheath reduces smoke and prevents halogen release, meeting common industrial safety standards.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode connections in data centres and server cabinets
• InfiniBand links between switches, NICs and host adapters
• Patch panel to transceiver or patch panel to patch panel links
• High-bandwidth applications requiring OM3 multimode fiber

How to use

Route the BlueOptics SRCABLE2M-BO cable between the two LC ports that require connection, ensuring both ends are clean before insertion. Remove protective caps from the LC connectors, align each LC plug with the transceiver or patch panel port and push until it clicks. Avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For best performance, keep connectors and transceivers free from dust and moisture and reconnect only after verifying the mating faces are clean.

Recommendations

For consistent optical performance, clean connector end faces before installation, avoid exceeding the cable’s bend radius, and use labelled patch panels to reduce unnecessary mating cycles. Use the supplied test protocol to verify insertion loss and return loss after installation and keep spare protective caps on unused ports.
