BlueOptics SS-OP-D-LC-S-30-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m

The BlueOptics SS-OP-D-LC-S-30-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m is a single‑mode LC‑to‑LC patch cable designed for high‑speed InfiniBand connections in data centres and high‑performance computing environments. It features LC male connectors on both ends and a 30 metre length to accommodate rack‑to‑rack or equipment‑to‑patch‑panel runs while preserving signal integrity and low attenuation.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable is built for stable optical transmission with low insertion loss and high return loss suitable for InfiniBand links. The cable uses laser‑optimized single‑mode fiber and quality connector components to maintain consistent performance over longer distances. Its construction supports reliable mating cycles and is compatible with commonly used optical transceivers and patch panels, offering a practical alternative to original equipment supplier parts.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the 30 m LC‑LC cable between the required ports, avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress on the connectors and fibre. Clean connector endfaces before mating with transceivers or patch panel ports to minimise insertion loss and reflections. Insert the LC connectors until they click into place and secure cable management to prevent strain on the connection. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and pull straight out to prevent damage to the ferrule.

Recommendations

For best performance, store and handle the cable to avoid sharp bends (respect the minimum bend radius), keep connector endfaces covered when not in use, and perform endface cleaning and inspection before installation. Use LSZH sleeving in enclosed environments where low smoke and halogen‑free materials are required.
