InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 040402G512000007.5M 7.5m 2x LC 2x FC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 040402G512000007.5M is a 7.5 m single-mode fibre optic cable designed for InfiniBand and other high-speed networking environments. It features two LC and two FC connectors and uses G.657.A1 laser-optimized single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter, supporting full duplex optical communication. The cable is fitted with an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheath and is produced to meet industry standards for professional data-centre and telecommunication use.

Advantages

This cable delivers low attenuation and high return-loss performance suitable for demanding transmission links. Components include zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded fibre types to ensure stable optical characteristics and long connector life. The LSZH outer sheath reduces smoke and halogen emissions in the event of fire, and each cable is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR to supply measured input loss and return loss values.

Key specifications

How to use

Identify the correct connector types and ensure equipment ports support LC and FC terminations. Route the cable with gentle bends, avoiding tight radii that can increase loss—adhere to the minimum bend radius recommended for G.657.A1 fibre. Insert LC and FC connectors into corresponding ports until they click or lock, and verify link status on connected devices. Use the supplied measurement protocol to confirm input loss and return loss if required for commissioning.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, store and handle the cable in a clean environment, avoid contaminating connector end-faces, and clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating. If further optimisation of return loss is needed, consult polishing or APC/UPC options and request custom polish specifications from the supplier.
