BlueOptics X66250-5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m LC Aqua

The BlueOptics X66250-5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m LC Aqua is a 5-metre multimode OM3 patch cable with LC/UPC connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed InfiniBand and data centre interconnects, this cable supports reliable short-range optical transmission between patch panels, switches and transceivers. The cable uses laser-optimized OM3 fibre and an aqua-coloured jacket to meet common data centre identification practices while maintaining compatibility with standard LC ports.

Advantages

This OM3 LC-LC cable provides low attenuation and high return loss suitable for demanding rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment links. Connectors are built with zirconia ceramic ferrules and high-quality componentry from established manufacturers to ensure repeatable mating performance up to typical lifecycle expectations. The cable is finished with a flame-retardant LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket for safer installation in enclosed spaces and complies with common industrial test procedures including interferometer and OTDR verification with measurement protocol supplied.

Key specifications

How to use

Unpack the cable and inspect the connector endfaces and dust caps before installation. Remove dust caps only when ready to connect. Route the cable through trays or conduits avoiding sharp bends and maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. Insert LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or switches until they click into place. If removing the cable, depress the LC latch and gently withdraw the connector. Keep measurement documentation with your asset records for traceability.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure transceivers and ports are specified for multimode OM3 operation, avoid bending below the recommended radius, and periodically inspect connector endfaces with a fibre microscope. Use labelled colour-coding (aqua jacket) and maintain the supplied attenuation/return loss records to support network diagnostics and maintenance.
