InfiniBand fibre optic cable BlueOptics 050502K512000010M 10 m 2x LC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 050502K512000010M is a 10 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable with LC to LC connectors and OM3 multimode fiber with a 50 µm core. Designed for full-duplex, high-speed optical links, this cable is intended for short- to medium-range connections in data center and networking environments where reliable multimode transmission is required.

Advantages

This 10 meter BlueOptics cable uses OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber to support high data rates over short distances with low attenuation and high return loss. The cable is equipped with LC connectors that provide stable, repeatable mating performance and a zirconia ceramic ferrule for long operational life. The sheath is LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), reducing halogen emissions and smoke in the event of fire and meeting common industrial safety expectations.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain; adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for OM3 multimode cable. Insert the LC connectors into corresponding LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or switches until they click into place, ensuring correct polarity for full duplex links. If removing the cable, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damage. Store unused cable lengths coiled loosely and protected from crushing or abrasion.

Recommendations

For best performance, verify connector cleanliness before mating and use an optical power meter or OTDR to confirm input loss and return loss values after installation. Maintain patching records and label both ends of the cable in rack and cabinet installations to simplify troubleshooting and future changes.
