InfiniBand fibre optic cable BlueOptics 050502K512000001M 1 m 2x LC LC/APC Green

The BlueOptics 050502K512000001M is a 1 m InfiniBand fibre optic patch cable with two LC connectors (LC to LC/APC) and OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber with a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for full duplex data transmission, this green-sheathed cable is intended for short-range, high-bandwidth connections such as linking patch panels, transceivers, switches and other networking equipment. The cable features an LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen) outer jacket for reduced smoke and no halogen release in the event of fire, and is manufactured and tested to deliver low attenuation and stable return loss values.

Advantages

This 1 m BlueOptics OM3 multimode cable provides low insertion loss and high return loss to support reliable, interference-free optical links. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for durability and consistent mating performance, and the cable is compatible with common InfiniBand and LC-based optical interfaces. Production testing includes interferometer and OTDR measurements to verify input loss and return loss, with a measurement protocol supplied for each cable. The LSZH sheathing complies with industrial flame and smoke requirements, making the cable suitable for professional installations where fire safety and low smoke emissions are important.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels and optical transceivers in data centers and server rooms
• Short-range high-bandwidth InfiniBand links and multimode fiber networks
• Interconnecting network switches, storage arrays and high-performance compute nodes

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Fiber type: OM3 multimode, laser-optimized
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC (LC/APC indicated)
• Full duplex optical transmission
• Sheath: LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen)

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and clean them with an appropriate fiber-cleaning tool or lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol if necessary. Route the 1 m cable to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode OM3 fiber. Insert LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or switches until they click into place, ensuring correct polarity for full-duplex operation. After installation, verify link performance with appropriate test equipment or by checking the connected devices' link indicators.

Usage recommendations

Store unused cables coiled without sharp bends and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not connected. For best long-term performance, avoid repeated rough mating cycles and follow cleaning and handling procedures; if improved return loss is required, consult the supplier about alternative polish types or connector options.
