BlueOptics X66250-15-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m LC

The BlueOptics X66250-15-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m LC is a 15-metre multimode patch cable with LC connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and optical network links. Constructed for data centre and enterprise environments, this cable provides low insertion loss and high return loss for stable, low-latency transmission between switches, host adapters and transceivers. The cable uses laser-optimized multimode fibre suitable for demanding short-reach, high-bandwidth applications while featuring a flame-retardant LSZH outer jacket for improved safety in confined spaces.

Advantages

The cable offers low attenuation and consistent signal integrity thanks to high-quality multimode fibre and precision LC connectors with zirconia ceramic ferrules. It supports reliable, interference-free optical transmission with low input loss and high return loss values, and is manufactured and tested to industrial standards for repeatable performance. The LSZH sheath reduces halogen emission and smoke in case of fire, making the cable suitable for use in data centres and other enclosed installations where safety standards are required.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand switches, host channel adapters and optical transceivers
• High-bandwidth server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centres
• Patching between panels or linking equipment within racks and cabinets
• Low-latency computing clusters and storage area networks (SANs)

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Laser-optimized multimode (OM3-class performance)
• Jacket: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH), flame retardant
• Typical characteristics: low insertion loss, high return loss
• Designed for InfiniBand and high-bandwidth optical interconnects

How to use

Route the BlueOptics X66250-15-BO cable between the LC port of the transmitting device and the LC port of the receiving device, ensuring correct duplex orientation. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius for multimode fibre to prevent increased attenuation. Secure the cable along racks or cable management trays to prevent strain on connectors. Before putting into production, verify connectivity and link quality with appropriate diagnostic tools or check the transceiver link status.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. For best performance, use matching-grade multimode transceivers and maintain connector cleanliness by using dust caps when not connected and cleaning tools prior to mating. Follow data centre cable management practices to minimise stress and maintain optimal signal integrity.
