InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 047202G512000002M 2m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 047202G512000002M is a 2 m InfiniBand / fibre optic patch cable with 2x LC and 2x SC connectors, built on laser-optimized single‑mode G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core. The cable supports full‑duplex transmission and is intended for high‑speed optical links such as patch panels, transceivers and intra‑rack or inter‑rack connections. The sheath is low‑smoke, zero‑halogen (LSZH), and the cable is manufactured and tested to meet common industrial standards for optical performance and safety.

Advantages

This BlueOptics patch cable provides low attenuation and high return loss thanks to its G.657.A1 single‑mode fibre and precision connector components. It is compatible with Corning‑style components and uses ceramic ferrules to ensure reliable, repeatable mating cycles. Every cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR and supplied with measured input loss and return loss values. The LSZH sheath reduces halogen release and smoke emission in case of fire, aligning the cable with common safety requirements.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical transceivers to patch panels
• Patch panel to patch panel links within data centres
• InfiniBand and storage networking connections requiring single‑mode fibre
• Short‑reach inter‑rack or intra‑rack fibre links (2 m)

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Fibre type: Single‑mode G.657.A1
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector set: 2x LC to 2x SC (LC/APC noted in title)
• Duplex: Full duplex (dual fibre)
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), flame‑retardant
• Tested: Interferometer and OTDR with supplied attenuation/return loss measurements
• Durability: Zirconia ceramic ferrule, rated for high mating cycles

How to use

Route the BlueOptics cable from the transceiver or equipment port to the destination patch panel port, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Align and insert the LC and SC connectors into the respective ports until they click into place; ensure APC or UPC polish type matches the equipment receptacle to maintain correct return loss. If necessary, verify optical power and signal levels with appropriate test equipment after installation using the supplied measurement protocol as a baseline.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable by the boot or connector body to avoid contaminating the ferrule. Keep protective dust caps on connectors until final insertion and perform connector cleaning with approved tools if any contamination is visible. Avoid bend radii smaller than the manufacturer’s recommendation for single‑mode cables and perform post‑installation testing (insertion loss, return loss, OTDR) for critical links.
