Alcasa LW-S930SASA InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m LC SC Yellow

The Alcasa LW-S930SASA InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m LC SC Yellow is a single-mode OS2 patch cable designed for long-distance, high-speed data transmission. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, with a 30-metre yellow jacket for easy identification in cabling runs. The cable is intended for use in enterprise networks, data centers and other installations that require reliable optical links and minimal signal attenuation over extended distances.

Advantages

This single-mode OS2 fibre cable provides low attenuation and stable optical performance over long distances, supporting high-bandwidth InfiniBand connections. The combination of LC and SC connectors offers flexibility when connecting equipment with different port types, reducing the need for additional adapters. The 30 m length and yellow sheath make routing and identification simple in dense cabling environments while maintaining a compact and durable construction suitable for rack and cabinet installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters over medium-to-long runs
• Patch panels and fibre distribution frames in data centers
• Enterprise backbone links and building-to-building optical connections
• Upgrades or expansions where LC-to-SC connectivity is required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode OS2
• Connector A: LC (single-fibre/duplex as applicable)
• Connector B: SC
• Length: 30 m
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Polish type: Typically UPC/PC (industry-standard for single-mode patch cables)
• Application: InfiniBand and other high-speed optical networks

How to use

Inspect connectors for contamination before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or fibre damage. Insert the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports on network equipment or patch panels until they click or seat firmly. Verify optical link status and perform loss testing or diagnostics as part of commissioning to ensure correct installation and expected performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment and avoid crushing or undue tension. Use proper cable management—cable ties, trays and labelled routing—to preserve connector integrity and simplify future maintenance. For critical links, verify end-to-end optical loss using appropriate test equipment and replace or re-clean connectors if readings exceed acceptable limits.
