InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 055702T512000050M-BO 50 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 50 m fibre optic cable with InfiniBand compatibility is designed for high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. This cable features OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and supports full duplex communication. It includes two LC connectors and two SC connectors, providing flexible connection options for switches, servers, storage systems and InfiniBand devices over a 50 metre link.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode construction delivers low attenuation and high bandwidth for short- to medium-distance links. Dual connector types (2x LC and 2x SC) increase compatibility with different network equipment and make installation more convenient. A 50 m length is suitable for rack-to-rack or room-to-room connections in data centres and server rooms, while full duplex support enables simultaneous bidirectional data transfer for latency-sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand clusters and high-performance computing (HPC) interconnects
• Data centre rack-to-rack connectivity
• Server-to-switch and storage connections
• Short- to medium-range multimode fibre networks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 50 m
• Connector configuration: 2x LC and 2x SC
• Transmission mode: full duplex

How to use

Select appropriate ports on your InfiniBand HCA, switch or transceiver modules and insert the LC and SC connectors into the matching receptacles with care, ensuring proper orientation and clean connector end-faces. Route the cable along stable paths, avoiding sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and minimizing stress on the connectors. Verify link integrity and speed via device diagnostics or management interfaces after connecting.

Recommendations

Before installation, inspect connector end-faces and clean them with proper fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Maintain appropriate bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain. Use OM3-compatible transceivers and ensure that patch panels or adapters match the LC/SC interfaces for optimal performance.
