InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 047202G512000003M 3 m LC/APC G.657.A1

The BlueOptics 047202G512000003M is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic patch cable with LC and SC terminations, built on single-mode G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core and designed for full duplex high-speed data transmission. The cable uses two LC and two SC connectors and features an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer jacket. BlueOptics produces this Corning-compatible cable with branded optical components and tests each assembly for input loss and return loss to meet industry quality requirements.

Advantages

This 3 m BlueOptics cable delivers low attenuation and high return-loss performance suitable for sensitive optical links. The single-mode G.657.A1 fibre provides bend-insensitive characteristics for flexible routing in racks and confined spaces. BlueOptics assemblies are manufactured with ceramic ferrules and branded fibers and connectors, and each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR; measurement protocols for input loss and return loss are supplied.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces and remove protective caps before insertion. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and maintain bend radius consistent with G.657.A1 recommendations to preserve low attenuation. Plug LC and SC connectors into the corresponding transceiver or patch panel ports until they click into place for secure, full duplex connections. After installation, verify link performance using suitable optical power meters or OTDR as required.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable by its jacket rather than pulling on connectors. For best performance, keep endfaces clean and use inspection/cleaning tools prior to mating. Use the supplied test protocol to confirm input loss and return loss after installation and avoid routing near sources of mechanical stress or excessive heat.
