InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 055702K512000003M-BO 3 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 3 m fibre optic cable with 2x LC and 2x SC connectors is designed for high-speed data transmission in networking environments. Constructed with OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter, the cable supports full duplex communication and is suitable for short- to medium-distance interconnects common in data centers, server rooms and telecommunication racks. The cable combines LC and SC connector types to provide compatibility with a range of transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers low attenuation and high bandwidth potential typical of OM3 multimode fibre, enabling reliable transmission of large data volumes. The hybrid connector configuration (LC to SC) delivers flexible connectivity options when integrating devices and patching between different panel types. A 3 m length provides a practical balance between reach and cable management in rack-based installations, while the duplex design ensures simultaneous bi-directional data flow for duplex transceivers and links.

Key specifications

How to use

Identify the LC and SC ports on the networking devices or patch panels and align the corresponding connectors before insertion. Gently insert LC connectors into LC ports and SC connectors into SC ports until a secure latch or click is felt. Ensure the duplex pairs are connected in the correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with appropriate cable management accessories to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

Clean connector endfaces before installation and periodically during maintenance to preserve signal quality. Use labeled routing and strain relief in rack environments, and follow multimode OM3 specifications for transceiver compatibility and maximum supported distances.
