InfiniBand fibre optic cable BlueOptics 050502K512000003M 3 m 2x LC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 050502K512000003M is a 3 m InfiniBand fibre optic patch cable with LC to LC/APC connectors and OM3 laser-optimized multimode fibre. With a 50 µm core diameter and full-duplex capability, this cable is designed for high-speed optical links in data centers, server rooms and professional networking environments. The cable features an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheath for improved fire safety and is produced and tested to meet relevant industrial standards for consistent optical performance.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable delivers low attenuation and high return-loss characteristics appropriate for multimode OM3 links. BlueOptics uses branded multimode fibre and precision ceramic ferrules to ensure reliable mating cycles and stable optical performance. Each cable is factory-tested with interferometry and OTDR and is supplied with an input loss and return loss measurement report, supporting predictable installation results and easier commissioning.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable between the intended LC ports of transceivers, patch panels or switches, taking care to maintain bend radii appropriate for multimode fibre. Remove protective caps from the LC connectors immediately before insertion to avoid contamination. Insert the duplex LC connectors into matching LC receptacles until they click into place and verify link status using the connected equipment. If cleaning is required, use fibre-specific cleaning tools and procedures to avoid damage to the ferrule endface.

Recommendations

For best optical performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation, ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating, and consult the transceiver and equipment documentation for supported OM3 multimode link distances and interface compatibility.
