BlueOptics X66260-10-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m LC Yellow

The BlueOptics X66260-10-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 10 m LC-to-LC single-mode patch cable using G.657.A1 fibre. Designed for full-duplex InfiniBand applications, it provides single-mode transmission with a 125 µm core diameter and LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer sheath for reduced smoke and no halogen release in case of fire. The cable is compatible with LC/UPC connectors at both ends and is intended for connecting patch panels, optical transceivers or other fibre ports where NetApp X66260-10 compatibility is required.

Advantages

The cable combines laser-optimized G.657.A1 single-mode fibre and LC connectors to deliver low attenuation and stable return loss for demanding optical links. Its LSZH sheath meets common industrial safety norms and reduces hazardous emissions. Production testing with interferometry and OTDR ensures consistent performance and provides documented input loss and return loss values. Durable zirconia ferrules and high-quality connector components are used to support reliable mating cycles and long-term operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand transceivers and optical ports in data centers
• Patch panel to patch panel fibre links
• Single-mode optical connections requiring NetApp X66260-10 compatibility
• Environments where low smoke and halogen-free cabling is required

How to use

Inspect connector end-faces before installation and clean with appropriate fibre-cleaning tools to avoid contamination that increases insertion loss. Connect the LC connectors to corresponding LC ports on transceivers or patch panels, ensuring correct polarity for duplex InfiniBand links. Route the cable following standard bend-radius guidelines for single-mode fibre to avoid microbends; secure the cable with cable management accessories and avoid strain at the connector boots. After installation, verify link performance using applicable optical test equipment and compare measured insertion loss and return loss to the supplied protocol.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 10 m BlueOptics LC–LC G.657.A1 cable within structured cabling paths with adequate bend radius, keep connectors capped when not in use, and perform acceptance testing with an OTDR or power-meter to confirm low insertion loss and acceptable return loss values.
