InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 047202G512000005M 5 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 047202G512000005M is a 5 m InfiniBand / fibre optic patch cable with 2x LC and 2x SC connectors designed for single-mode transmission. It uses G.657.A1 laser-optimized single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter and supports full-duplex optical communication. The cable is intended for connecting patch panels, transceivers and other optical ports in networking environments where single-mode links and reliable signal integrity are required.

Advantages

This 5 m BlueOptics patch cable provides low attenuation and high return loss suitable for high-speed data transmission. It is manufactured with branded single-mode fibre and quality connector components to maintain consistent optical performance. The cable features a flame-retardant LSZH sheath that reduces halogen emission and smoke in the event of fire. Each cable is tested after production and supplied with measured input loss and return loss values.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both link endpoints are powered down or in a safe operating state before connecting. Align and insert the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports on patch panels or transceivers until they click into place. Verify connector types and port orientation to avoid mismatches. After installation, power up devices and confirm link status and optical power levels using appropriate monitoring or test equipment.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by their housings and avoid touching the ferrule endfaces; keep protective caps on unused connectors. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress—respect the minimum bend radius specified for G.657.A1 single-mode fibre. For critical links, verify input loss and return loss with an optical test set after installation and retain the supplied measurement protocol for documentation.
