BlueOptics InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 20 m LC Male-Male

The BlueOptics InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 20 m LC Male-Male is a single-mode patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in datacenter and networking environments. With LC connectors on both ends and a 20-meter length, this cable is designed to connect transceivers, patch panels and InfiniBand equipment while maintaining low attenuation and consistent signal integrity.

Advantages

This single-mode fibre cable features precision LC connectors and high-quality optical fibre to ensure low insertion loss and high return loss across links. Its construction uses reliable components and a durable outer sheath suitable for professional installations. The cable is compatible with common InfiniBand and optical networking hardware and supports long-reach connections without active amplification within the 20 m span.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters in server racks
• Linking optical transceivers to patch panels in data centers
• High-speed point-to-point fiber connections within server rooms and equipment cabinets
• Replacing or extending existing LC-to-LC single-mode links in networking infrastructure

Key specifications

• Length: 20 m
• Connector type: LC to LC (male/male orientation)
• Fiber type: single-mode optical fibre
• Application: InfiniBand and optical networking links
• Typical performance: low insertion loss and high return loss for stable signal transmission
• Durability: precision ferrule connectors rated for multiple mating cycles

How to use

Route the BlueOptics 20 m LC-LC cable between the two devices ensuring bend radius is respected and the cable is protected from sharp kinks or compression. Remove dust caps from LC connectors before insertion and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC receptacle until it latches. Verify link status on connected devices and test optical attenuation if required to confirm acceptable loss values. When disconnecting, depress the latch gently and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

Store and install the cable in environments within recommended temperature and humidity ranges for optical equipment. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, avoid tight bends (follow the manufacturer's minimum bend radius), and perform optical loss testing after installation when link performance is critical. For long-term reliability in critical infrastructure, periodic inspection and cleaning of connector endfaces is advised.
