BlueOptics X66250-20-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m LC

The BlueOptics X66250-20-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m LC is a 20-metre multimode fibre patch cable with LC connectors on both ends designed for InfiniBand interconnects and high-speed networking in data centres and HPC environments. Constructed for reliable optical signal transmission, this cable supports low latency and high bandwidth links between switches, servers and transceivers. The cable jacket is designed to meet typical installation requirements for server rooms and network racks.

Advantages

This BlueOptics InfiniBand cable provides consistent optical performance suitable for dense networking environments. It uses industry-grade multimode fibre and precision LC connectors to deliver low insertion loss and high return loss for stable connections. The 20 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections without the need for additional adapters or splices. Materials and connector construction are selected to ensure durability and repeated mating cycles typical in data centre use.

How to use

Inspect both LC connector endfaces before installation and clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools if contamination is visible. Route the cable along existing cable management paths to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Plug LC connectors into compatible LC ports on transceivers, switches or network equipment until secure. For InfiniBand links, ensure both ends are connected to matching port types and confirm link status in the host or switch management interface. Avoid excessive tension on the cable during and after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or mechanical stress. Periodically inspect connector endfaces and replace or re-clean if signal degradation is observed. Use labelled cable management to keep patching organised and to simplify troubleshooting in dense installations.
