InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics X66250-50-BO 50 m LC

The BlueOptics X66250-50-BO is a 50 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with LC connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments. This multimode cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, storage arrays and compute nodes. Constructed with industry-grade fiber and precision connectors, it is intended for reliable optical connectivity where consistent performance matters.

Advantages

The cable provides a long 50 m length that enables flexible rack-to-rack and row-to-row connections without intermediate splicing. LC connectors on both ends deliver a compact, standardized interface compatible with a wide range of transceivers and ports. Built to industry standards and tested for attenuation and return loss, the cable offers predictable optical performance for InfiniBand and fiber applications. Its design reduces signal loss and supports stable high-speed links in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Data center rack-to-rack and row-to-row connections
• High-performance computing (HPC) interconnects using InfiniBand
• Connecting optical transceivers, switches and storage systems
• Network backbone links requiring multimode LC-LC connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode fibre optic cable suitable for InfiniBand and general optical networks
• Connectors: LC to LC on both ends
• Length: 50 meters
• Performance: Low attenuation and high return loss consistent with multimode optical patch standards
• Sheath: Flame-retardant LSZH material (low smoke, halogen-free)
• Testing: Factory-tested for insertion loss and return loss using interferometer and OTDR methods

How to use

Unpack the BlueOptics X66250-50-BO and route the cable along cable trays or management channels, avoiding tight bends and pinch points to maintain minimum bend radius. Plug each LC connector into the corresponding LC receptacle on transceivers, switches or patch panels, ensuring proper alignment and secure seating. If required, follow your site procedures to label both ends for inventory and maintenance. Do not exceed the recommended bending radius or apply excessive tensile load during installation or operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, install the cable in conduit or cable management that preserves bend radius, verify connector cleanliness before mating, and use compatible LC transceivers rated for multimode operation. Periodically inspect connectors and perform optical loss measurements after installation to confirm link parameters remain within expected limits.
