## Summary description

The BlueOptics ASR8-BO is a 5 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable featuring 2x LC connectors. It utilizes OM3 fibre with a core diameter of 50 µm, ensuring full duplex communication. This cable is ideal for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments.

## Long description

The BlueOptics ASR8-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m 2x LC LC/APC is a 5-metre duplex multimode fibre cable designed for high-speed, low-latency links in data centre and networking environments. It features two LC connectors on each end and uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter to support fast data transmission over short to medium distances. The cable supports full duplex communication and is intended for use with InfiniBand and other compatible high-performance network interfaces.
Advantages
This OM3 fibre cable offers reliable signal integrity and reduced modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, enabling higher bandwidth and extended reach for Gigabit and higher-speed interconnects. The LC connector form factor provides a compact footprint and secure mating in dense rack installations. The 5 m length balances flexibility and neat cable management in rack-to-rack or equipment-to-switch connections. Constructed to industry physical standards for multimode assemblies, the cable is suitable for repeated insertions and standard handling in professional network environments.
Suitable for
InfiniBand interconnects between servers, switches, and storage systems
High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring low-latency links
Data centre horizontal and vertical cabling over short to medium distances
Patch panels and transceiver connections with LC ports
Key specifications
Length: 5 metres
Connector type: LC to LC with APC end-face geometry on one or both ends as specified by the product title
Fibre type: OM3 multimode
Core diameter: 50 µm
Mode: Duplex (two fibres for full duplex communication)
Application: InfiniBand and compatible high-speed network interfaces
How to use
Install the cable by inserting the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on your InfiniBand adapters, switches or transceivers, ensuring correct alignment and secure latching. Route the cable to avoid tight bends that exceed the multimode fibre minimum bend radius and secure it to cable management hardware to prevent strain on the connectors. For duplex operation, confirm that transmit and receive channels are connected in the correct polarity according to your equipment documentation. Perform link validation and diagnostics after installation to verify signal levels and data throughput.
Usage recommendations
Handle the fibre ends by the connector housings and keep protective caps on unused connectors to prevent contamination. Clean connector end-faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating, and avoid sharp bends or crush forces on the cable. For installations in high-density racks, plan cable routes and label both ends to maintain clear polarity and traceability.
