InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 047202G512000007.5M 7.5 m 2x LC 2x SC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 047202G512000007.5M is a 7.5 m single-mode fiber patch cable designed for InfiniBand and other high-speed optical networking applications. It uses G.657.A1 laser-optimized single-mode fiber with a 9 µm core diameter and features two LC connectors on one end and two SC connectors on the other, providing full-duplex transmission. The cable is equipped with a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath and is produced with branded fiber and connector components to ensure low attenuation and high return loss. Each unit is tested with interferometry and OTDR and delivered with a measurement protocol for input loss and return loss.

Advantages

This 7.5 m BlueOptics cable offers low attenuation per kilometer and high return loss values suitable for long-reach and short-reach optical links. Manufactured with branded fibers and precision connectors, it provides consistent optical performance and mechanical durability. The LSZH sheath reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, and compliance with industry standards supports safe installation in data centers and telecommunications environments. Delivered with test reports, the cable allows traceability of optical parameters for quality assurance.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Single-mode optical links in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed point-to-point connections and storage networks
• Telecommunications cross-connects and backbone links

• Connector set: 2x LC to 2x SC (LC/APC noted in product name for LC; SC connectors as specified)
• Transmission: Full duplex
• Sheath material: LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen)
• Typical tests: Interferometer and OTDR with supplied measurement protocol
• Compliance: Manufactured to common industrial standards (electrical and fire-safety related norms and RoHS)

How to use

Install the cable by connecting the LC connectors to the LC ports of your transceiver or patch panel and the SC connectors to the corresponding SC ports. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid performance degradation; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable following standard bend-radius guidelines for single-mode fiber to prevent microbending losses. Secure the cable with cable management hardware and avoid tight bends or crushing during installation.

Usage recommendations

Prior to installation, inspect and clean connector endfaces using suitable fiber cleaning wipes or tools. Verify optical performance after installation using an OTDR or power meter to confirm input loss and return loss meet system requirements. Store unused cable coiled with a gentle radius and avoid sharp bends; follow manufacturer bend-radius recommendations for G.657.A1 fiber. For installations in fire-sensitive areas, the LSZH sheath reduces halogen emissions and smoke; ensure local codes accept LSZH materials.
