BlueOptics SFP2122BU7.5MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC SC Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP2122BU7.5MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC SC Yellow is a single-mode OS2 fibre link designed for high-speed network interconnections. With a 9 µm core diameter and industry-standard LC and SC connectors, this 7.5-metre cable supports reliable data transmission over long distances typical for server rooms, storage networks and inter-rack connections. The cable's yellow jacket makes it easy to identify within structured cabling systems and helps maintain organized fibre runs.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers low attenuation and stable single-mode signal performance thanks to OS2 fibre construction and a 9 µm core. The combination of LC and SC connectors provides compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. At 7.5 metres, the cable balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections. The colour-coded yellow jacket assists in visual identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand links between switches, host channel adapters and storage systems
• Data centre rack-to-rack and equipment interconnects
• High-speed point-to-point optical connections in enterprise networks
• Structured cabling installations requiring single-mode OS2 performance

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connector types: LC to SC
• Jacket colour: Yellow

How to use

Ensure both endpoints are powered down or set to a maintenance state before connecting the cable to avoid hot-plug issues. Align the LC and SC connectors with the corresponding ports on transceivers or patch panels and insert until a positive latch or click is felt. Route the cable following existing cable management trays or guides to prevent tight bends; observe the minimum bend radius specified by the installation environment. Verify link status at the devices and run basic diagnostics or optical power checks if required.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or housing, avoid touching the fibre endfaces, and keep protective caps on until installation. For optimal performance, terminate and clean connectors with appropriate tools and use gentle strain relief when securing the cable. Store in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
