BlueOptics UOC-0.5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m LC Aqua

The BlueOptics UOC-0.5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m LC Aqua is a 0.5 meter multimode patch cable with LC to LC connectors designed for high-speed InfiniBand and optical network links. Built for OM3 laser-optimized multimode fibre and finished in aqua, this short patch cable connects transceivers, patch panels and ports where low-latency, high-bandwidth links are required. The cable is offered by BlueOptics and matches the connector layout and physical form factor commonly used in Ubiquiti-compatible setups.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, factory-terminated LC–LC connection in a 0.5 m length, suitable for tight rack and data-center routing. Using OM3 multimode fibre ensures support for high data throughput across short to moderate distances. BlueOptics production emphasizes consistent connector quality and low attenuation typical for OM3 fibres, and the aqua jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling environments. The cable is offered with a flame-retardant LSZH outer jacket for reduced smoke and halogen-free performance in case of fire.

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before insertion. Plug each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on transceivers, patch panels or switches until the latch clicks. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the connectors; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius of multimode fibre. If using in dense rack environments, secure the cable to prevent accidental disconnection or strain on the connector.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep connector endfaces clean and store unused cables in protective boots. Use the 0.5 m length for close-proximity patching inside racks; for longer runs select a longer OM3 cable. Regularly check for signs of jacket damage and replace if any mechanical wear is present.
