BlueOptics SFP2122BU5MM InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m LC SC Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP2122BU5MM InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m LC SC Yellow is a multimode optical patch cable designed for high-performance data transmission in network environments. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, a 5-metre length and G.657.A1 fibre type with a 125 µm cladding diameter. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification for single-mode or mixed cabling layouts, while the construction aims to maintain low attenuation and stable signal integrity over short to medium interconnect distances.

Advantages

This cable combines LC and SC connector types to accommodate different transceiver or patch panel interfaces without additional adapters. The 5 m length balances flexibility and minimal excess slack in racks and data cabinets. Use of G.657.A1 fibre improves bend performance and reduces signal loss in constrained routing paths. The standardized 125 µm cladding diameter ensures compatibility with common fibre optic equipment and supports consistent insertion loss and return loss characteristics for reliable links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting InfiniBand transceivers and switches with LC and SC ports
• Patch connections in data centre racks and telecommunications cabinets
• Short- to medium-range fibre links where a 5 m cable length is required
• Environments requiring improved bend tolerance for routed fibre

Key specifications

• Fibre standard: G.657.A1
• Length: 5 m
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: SC
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Cladding diameter: 125 µm

How to use

Select the cable so that the LC end matches the transceiver or patch panel port and the SC end matches the destination port. Before installation, inspect connector end-faces for contamination and clean with an appropriate fibre cleaning tool if required. Route the cable through cable management trays or along designated pathways, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Insert connectors into their respective ports until a tactile click or positive stop is felt; confirm link status on connected equipment and measure attenuation if precise verification is needed.

Usage recommendations

Maintain a minimum bend radius according to the fibre specification to preserve low attenuation; avoid kinks and tight wraps. Store unused cable lengths coiled loosely and protect connector end-faces with dust caps when not connected. Use appropriate cleaning procedures and periodically inspect connections to ensure stable InfiniBand link performance.
