BlueOptics X66200-1-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m MPO OM3

The BlueOptics X66200-1-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m MPO OM3 is a 1‑metre multi‑mode fibre patch cable designed for high‑speed data transmission in data centres and networking environments. It features MPO to MPO connectors and OM3 laser‑optimized multi‑mode fibre with a 125 µm core diameter. The cable uses low‑smoke, zero‑halogen (LSZH) sheathing for reduced emissions in the event of fire and is suitable for connecting patch panels, optical transceivers and other dense optical interconnects.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact MPO termination suited to parallel optics and InfiniBand links, enabling high bandwidth density in rack and patch‑panel applications. OM3 multi‑mode fibre supports short‑reach, high‑speed connections while maintaining low attenuation and high return‑loss characteristics. The LSZH jacket reduces halogen emissions and smoke generation compared with PVC sheathing, and the use of ceramic ferrules and tested components contributes to consistent optical performance.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand high‑speed interconnects
• Data centre patch panels and trunk links
• Connecting MPO‑based transceivers and breakout assemblies
• Short‑reach multi‑mode optical links within server racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: MPO to MPO
• Fibre type: OM3 (laser‑optimized multi‑mode)
• Core diameter: 125 µm
• Length: 1 m
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)

How to use

Ensure both ends of the MPO connectors and the mating ports are clean and free of dust before making connections. Align the MPO connector keying with the port and insert until it seats firmly; confirm secure latching where applicable. Use the cable to link MPO ports on patch panels, switches or transceivers for short‑reach multi‑mode optical runs. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer‑recommended minimum bend radius to prevent fibre stress and increased attenuation.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; use dedicated fibre cleaning tools for connector endfaces and follow data centre cable management practices to avoid exceeding bend radius or mechanical strain. For reliability in high‑density deployments, verify optical loss values after installation with appropriate test equipment and keep a record of measurement results.
