BlueOptics X66250-7.5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC

The BlueOptics X66250-7.5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC is a 7.5-meter multimode OM3 patch cable with LC connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed InfiniBand and optical networking applications, this BlueOptics cable provides low attenuation and return loss values suitable for interconnects in data centers and cabling racks. The cable uses laser-optimized multimode fiber and a flame-retardant LSZH outer jacket, and is manufactured and tested to industry standards to ensure consistent signal quality and compatibility with common optical transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

This 7.5 m LC–LC OM3 cable delivers low insertion loss and high return loss through the use of laser-optimized multimode fiber and precision ceramic ferrules. The LSZH sheath reduces halogen emissions and smoke in the event of fire, supporting safer installations in enclosed spaces. Each cable is factory-tested with interferometry and OTDR and shipped with measured input loss and return loss values, providing traceable performance data. Components such as branded fiber and established connector manufacturers are used to maintain reliable mating cycles and long-term stability.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand high-speed interconnects in servers and switches
• Data center patch panels and rack-to-rack connections
• Connections between optical transceivers and SFP/ QSFP ports using LC connectors
• Multimode OM3 fiber links requiring 7.5 m length

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7.5 meters
• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, laser-optimized
• Connector type: LC to LC (both ends)
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), flame-retardant
• Tested parameters: input loss and return loss (factory measurement protocol included)
• Standards compliance: manufactured to common industry norms for fiber patch cables

How to use

Route the BlueOptics LC–LC OM3 cable between the required LC ports on patch panels, switches, transceivers, or InfiniBand devices without sharp bends and observing the fiber minimum bend radius. Align and insert LC connectors into the corresponding LC receptacles until they click; avoid touching the ferrule end faces to prevent contamination. If necessary, verify the measured input loss and return loss values supplied with the cable against your system requirements before final installation. Secure the cable along trays or management channels to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance maintain clean connector end faces by using appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force, and store unused cable ends with protective caps. Use this OM3 LC–LC cable for short- to medium-distance multimode links and pair it with compatible OM3 transceivers for optimal signal integrity.
