InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 040402G5120000030M 30 m 2x LC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 30 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with 2x LC connectors is a single-mode G.657.A1 patch cable designed for full-duplex, high-speed optical transmission. With a 9 µm core diameter and laser-optimized fibre, the cable is intended for connecting patch panels, optical transceivers and other network devices over medium distances. The sheath is LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) for reduced toxic emissions in case of fire, and the cable is produced and tested to meet relevant industrial quality criteria.

Advantages

This single-mode G.657.A1 fibre cable offers low attenuation and high return loss, supporting stable signal transmission across the 30 m length. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for durable mating performance and are compatible with standard LC ports. Production includes interferometer and OTDR testing with a measurement protocol for input loss and return loss values, ensuring consistent quality and predictable performance in optical links.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels in data center and telecom racks
• Linking optical transceivers in switches and servers
• High-speed InfiniBand and single-mode fibre network segments up to 30 m
• Environments requiring LSZH sheathing for fire safety

How to use

Connect one LC connector to the optical port of a patch panel, transceiver or switch and the other LC connector to the corresponding port on the receiving device. Ensure proper orientation of LC connectors and avoid excessive bending of the fibre along its length; follow the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment or fibre manufacturer. Verify connection quality using an appropriate fibre tester or check the provided measurement report for input loss and return loss values before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot and connector housing to avoid contaminating the ferrule. Clean connector endfaces with recommended fibre cleaning tools before insertion. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and store spare cable lengths coiled loosely. Use this single-mode G.657.A1 cable for optical links where low bending loss and LSZH sheathing are required.
