InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics LRCABLE50M-BO 50 m LC Yellow

The BlueOptics LRCABLE50M-BO is a 50 m single-mode fiber optic cable with LC connectors on both ends, designed for InfiniBand and fibre optic applications. It uses a 9 µm core diameter and supports full duplex communication for bidirectional high-speed data transfer. The cable is intended for patching between transceivers, patch panels or other LC-terminated ports in data centers and network racks. The jacket colour is yellow and the cable length is 50 metres.

Advantages

This LC–LC single-mode cable is manufactured to industry standards using laser-optimized G.657.A1 single-mode fiber and high-quality connectors. The design provides low attenuation per kilometre and low input loss combined with high return loss to support reliable signal integrity. The cable is fitted with an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flame-retardant sheath to reduce smoke and eliminate halogen release in case of fire. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR and delivered with measurement values for input loss and return loss.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical transceivers in switches, routers and InfiniBand equipment
• Patching between patch panels and rack-mounted optical ports
• Single-mode fiber links requiring 50 m LC–LC interconnects
• Environments where LSZH sheathing and low-smoke behaviour are required

How to use

Route the 50 m LC–LC cable between the two LC-terminated ports ensuring gentle bends and avoiding tight radii to preserve the single-mode fibre performance. Insert LC connectors into corresponding LC adapter ports or directly into optical transceivers until they click into place. For duplex operation ensure the correct polarity is maintained. If you need to reposition the cable, disconnect by pressing the LC latch and gently pulling the connector. Store unused connectors with protective caps to avoid contamination.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain a minimum bend radius according to manufacturer guidance, keep connectors clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating, and verify link performance with suitable test equipment after installation. Use LSZH-compliant cable management in confined or public spaces to meet fire-safety requirements.
