BlueOptics X66250-05-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m LC

The BlueOptics X66250-05-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 0.5 m multimode patch cable with LC connectors on both ends, engineered for short-distance, high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments. Designed to provide stable signal transfer and low insertion loss, this compact cable is suitable for connecting InfiniBand equipment, switches, transceivers and patch panels where a short, reliable fibre link is required.

Advantages

This 0.5 m LC–LC fibre cable offers reliable optical performance with minimal signal degradation over short links, ease of routing in dense rack or patch-panel environments, and compatibility with standard LC interfaces. The cable’s short length reduces excess loop and clutter in cabling bundles, helping to maintain clear airflow and organized racks. Build and connector quality are intended to meet typical industry expectations for professional networking components.

How to use

Unpack the cable and visually inspect connectors for contamination or damage before installation. Align each LC connector with the corresponding LC port on the transceiver, switch or patch panel and insert until it clicks into place. Ensure connectors are clean and, if necessary, use appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; keep bend radius within manufacturer recommendations for multimode fibre. For removal, depress the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the connector or port.

Recommendations

Use dust caps when connectors are not mated, avoid tight bends and compression, and clean connectors with approved fibre-cleaning tools to preserve signal quality. For installation in high-density racks, secure the cable to cable management fixtures to prevent strain on ports and to maintain airflow.
