InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 9270CFCCAB04-0010-BO 1 m 2x LC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 9270CFCCAB04-0010-BO is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with 2x LC connectors in APC polish, designed for high-speed, full-duplex data transmission. Built with OM3 multimode fibre and a 50 µm core diameter, the cable supports the bandwidth and signal integrity required in densely cabled environments such as data centres and enterprise networks. The single-metre length provides a compact, reliable link between switches, servers, and storage arrays while minimising excess cable slack.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable uses OM3 multimode fibre to deliver low attenuation and good modal bandwidth for short- to medium-range high-speed links. The LC/APC connectors ensure stable mating and reduced back-reflection, which is important for InfiniBand and high-performance computing applications. Full-duplex transmission over paired fibres enables simultaneous send and receive channels, and the 1 m length keeps patching neat and manageable in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting InfiniBand switches, host channel adapters, and storage in data centres
• Patching between rack-mounted network devices and patch panels
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links
• Short-range multimode fibre links in enterprise LAN environments

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type: LC to LC with APC polish
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Transmission mode: full duplex (dual fibres)
• Colour: blue

How to use

Route the cable through the rack or cable management system to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. Insert each LC/APC connector into the corresponding LC port until it clicks, ensuring correct orientation and secure mating. Use matching APC-polished ports or adapters to maintain low return loss. For best signal reliability, keep connector endfaces clean and protect unused connectors with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use the cable within typical multimode fibre bend-radius limits and avoid crushing or tight staples. Clean connector endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before installation. Match OM3 multimode components across the link for predictable performance and check link status after installation to confirm expected throughput and latency.
