InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 047202G512000001M 1 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 047202G512000001M is a 1 m InfiniBand / fibre optic patch cable with 2x LC and 2x SC connectors, using single-mode G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core. It supports full-duplex optical transmission and is intended for connecting patch panels, transceivers and other optical ports in network and data centre environments. The cable is delivered with flame-retardant LSZH sheathing and is manufactured and tested to meet commonly applied industrial requirements for single-mode patch cords.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable uses laser-optimized G.657.A1 single-mode fibre and high-quality zirconia ceramic ferrules for reliable low-loss transmission and long connector life. Connectors and fibre components are sourced from established manufacturers to ensure consistent performance. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR equipment and supplied with measured input loss and return loss values. The LSZH jacket reduces halogen emissions and smoke in the event of fire.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical transceivers to patch panels or switches
• High-speed InfiniBand and single-mode data links
• Structured cabling in data centres and telecom rooms
• Short-distance backbone connections requiring LC-to-SC interfaces

• Ferrule material: Zirconia ceramic
• Tested with: Interferometer and OTDR; supplied with input loss and return loss measurements

How to use

Inspect connectors and clean endfaces before insertion to prevent contamination-related loss. Route the cable without sharp bends and respect minimum bend radius recommended for G.657.A1 single-mode fibre to avoid increased attenuation. Plug the LC connectors into LC ports and the SC connectors into SC ports on patch panels or transceivers, ensuring proper alignment and secure latching. When disconnecting, press the connector latch and withdraw straightly to avoid stress on the fibre.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid excessive pulling forces; keep a slack loop to prevent tension on connectors. For optimal return loss in sensitive applications, consider using APC polishing types where supported by the equipment and verify compatibility between LC/UPC and SC/UPC interfaces before deployment.
