InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 055702K512000007.5M-BO 7.5 m LC/APC

The BlueOptics 7.5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable (LC/APC to SC) is designed for high-speed, low-latency optical links in data centres and professional networking environments. It uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and supports full duplex communication. The cable combines LC/APC and SC terminations to provide compatibility with a range of InfiniBand and fibre optic equipment, offering a reliable connection for short- to medium-range links where bandwidth and signal integrity are essential.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers stable high-speed data transfer thanks to OM3 multimode technology and a 50 µm core that supports high-bandwidth applications. The mixed LC/APC and SC connector configuration increases compatibility with common transceivers and patch panels. Full duplex capability ensures simultaneous bidirectional transmission while maintaining signal quality. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for routing between racks or between equipment within the same room without introducing unnecessary excess slack.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or debris before connecting. Align LC/APC and SC connectors with the corresponding transceiver or adapter ports and insert until a secure engagement is felt. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; respect the minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. For removal, press the connector latch (if present) and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule or connector housing. Do not twist the cable while inserting or removing connectors.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment and use dust caps on unused connectors. For optimal performance in OM3 links, use compatible multimode transceivers and verify link parameters after installation. Route the cable away from sources of mechanical damage and follow data centre cable management best practices to maintain signal integrity and ease of maintenance.
