InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 040402G512000003M 3 m 2x FC 2x LC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 040402G512000003M is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable designed for single-mode, laser-optimized G.657.A1 fibre. It features two FC and two LC connectors to provide full duplex communication and reliable connections between patch panels, transceivers and active networking equipment. The cable is sheathed in LSZH material for reduced smoke and no halogen release in case of fire and is manufactured and tested to industry performance standards for consistent attenuation and return loss.

Advantages

The cable uses G.657.A1 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter, delivering low attenuation per kilometre and low input loss for high-speed optical links. BlueOptics builds these cables using high-quality branded fibre and ceramic ferrule connectors to ensure a long mechanical lifetime and stable optical performance. Each cable is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR measurements and supplied with an input loss and return loss measurement protocol.

How to use

Route the 3 m BlueOptics fibre cable between the intended ports, ensuring connectors are clean and undamaged before insertion. Align and insert the FC and LC connectors into the corresponding transceiver or panel ports until they click or are secured by the connector mechanism. Avoid bending the cable beyond the minimum bend radius specified for G.657.A1 fibre and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. If performance issues arise, consult the supplied input loss and return loss measurements and verify end-face cleanliness and connector seating.

Recommendations

For best results, use fibre cleaning tools before each connection, maintain bend radius guidelines for G.657.A1 single-mode fibre, and store unused cables in a protected, dust-free environment. Choose LSZH sheathed cables for indoor deployments where low smoke and halogen-free behaviour is required.
