InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 047202G5120000010M 10 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 047202G5120000010M is a 10 m InfiniBand / fibre optic patch cable with LC to SC terminations, designed for single-mode networks using G.657.A1 laser-optimized fibre. The cable supports full-duplex transmission and is intended for interconnecting patch panels, optical transceivers and other single-mode ports in data centres and telecom environments. The sheath is low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) and the assembly is factory-tested for attenuation and return loss to meet common industry requirements.

Advantages

This 10 m BlueOptics patch cable uses G.657.A1 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter to ensure low attenuation and stable signal transmission over short and medium distances. Connectors are built on zirconia ceramic ferrules for consistent alignment and long mating life. The cable is produced with branded fiber and connector components and is delivered with test results for input loss and return loss measured by interferometer and OTDR. The LSZH outer sheath reduces smoke and prevents halogen release in case of fire, supporting safer installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels and distribution frames in data centres
• Linking optical transceivers to network equipment (InfiniBand, Ethernet optics)
• Campus and telecom backbone segments requiring single-mode links
• Installations where LSZH cabling is required for safety or regulation

How to use

Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress; observe the minimum bend radius specified by the installer or cabling standard. Insert the LC and SC connectors into the matching ports on patch panels or transceivers until they click or seat securely. Use the provided test protocol to verify input loss and return loss after installation. If necessary, clean connector endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating to ensure optimal optical performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and install the cable in a dry, dust-free environment; avoid repeated tight bending and crushing. For critical links, inspect and clean connector endfaces before connection and use the supplied measurement report to confirm link attenuation meets your requirements. Choose LSZH-sheathed cabling for installations where reduced smoke and halogen-free behavior is required by safety regulations.
