InfiniBand fibre optic cable BlueOptics 050502K512000007.5M 7.5 m LC/APC

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 050502K512000007.5M is a 7.5 m multimode OM3 patch cable with LC/APC connectors designed for full-duplex high-speed data transmission. With a 50 µm core diameter and laser-optimized multimode fiber, this cable is intended for short- to medium-range links in data centers and networking environments. The cable is produced with quality fiber and connector components, bears a flame-retardant LSZH sheath, and is supplied with measured input loss and return loss values to support reliable optical connections.

Advantages

This BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers low attenuation and high return loss performance suitable for dense networking and server interconnects. Manufactured with branded multimode fiber and ceramic ferrules, the cable is designed for stable, repeatable mating cycles and interference-free signal transmission. LSZH sheathing reduces halogen emissions and smoke in the event of fire, meeting common industrial safety norms. Each cable is tested post-production with interferometer and OTDR and supplied with a measurement protocol for input loss and return loss.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and server-to-switch connections
• InfiniBand high-speed interconnects and HPC clusters
• Patch panel and transceiver connections in enterprise networks
• Short- to medium-distance multimode fiber links compliant with OM3

How to use

Install the BlueOptics InfiniBand cable by aligning and inserting the LC/APC connectors into corresponding LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or network equipment, ensuring correct orientation for the APC polish. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and strain; maintain bend radii according to manufacturer guidance to preserve optical performance. Use the supplied measurement protocol to verify insertion loss and return loss after installation and reconnect or reseat connectors if measured values exceed acceptable ranges.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and compression of the cable, keep connector endfaces protected until final mating, and ensure connectors are clean before insertion. When integrating into high-density racks, plan cable routing to minimize stress on connectors and preserve the OM3 multimode link budget by using compatible OM3 transceivers and patch panels.
