Synergy 21 S217048 InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15 m 2x LC

The Synergy 21 S217048 InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15 m duplex cable equipped with two LC connectors and built on OS2 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter. Designed for full duplex InfiniBand links, this cable supports high-speed, low-latency data transmission suitable for data centers, rack-to-rack interconnects and high-performance computing networks. The flexible sheath and kink-protection sleeve are intended to ease routing in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

This 15 m InfiniBand fibre cable provides single-mode OS2 performance with a 9 µm core, which supports long-reach, low-attenuation links and stable signal integrity. The duplex LC-LC connector configuration enables straightforward installation for full duplex InfiniBand connections. A flexible outer jacket and integrated kink-protection sleeve improve handling and help maintain fiber bend performance in tight bends or conduits.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Inter-rack or intra-rack connections in data centers
• InfiniBand links in high-performance computing clusters
• High-bandwidth, low-latency connections between switches or host adapters
• Environments requiring single-mode fibre for longer distance transmission

When it may not be suitable

This cable uses OS2 single-mode fibre and is optimized for longer-distance or high-bandwidth single-mode applications; it is not intended as a multimode solution for short-distance multimode networks that use OM3/OM4 fibre. It also uses LC connectors and may not be compatible with systems requiring different connector types without adapters.

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: Duplex LC to LC
• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Full duplex support: yes
• Outer jacket: flexible with kink-protection sleeve

How to use

Route the cable between rack-mounted devices or network equipment ensuring minimal tight bends and avoiding excessive tension. Remove protective caps from LC connectors before insertion and align the keyed LC connector into the corresponding adapter or transceiver until it clicks into place. For best optical performance, keep connector endfaces clean and, if necessary, use a fibre inspection or cleaning tool prior to installation. Secure the cable in cable management trays and avoid sharp edges or crushing forces that could damage the fibre.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the connector compatibility (LC) and duplex requirement of your equipment
• Confirm that single-mode OS2 fibre is appropriate for your link distance and transceivers
• Check available routing space to accommodate a 15 m cable with flexible jacket

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair this OS2 duplex LC cable with compatible single-mode InfiniBand transceivers and maintain clean connector endfaces. Avoid bending radii below manufacturer recommendations and secure the cable to reduce movement and stress in active environments.
