Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics 5 m 2x LC LC/APC

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m 2x LC LC/APC is a multimode OM3 cable designed for high-speed, low-latency data links in networking and data centre environments. With a 5-metre length and duplex LC connectors, this cable supports reliable full-duplex communication over InfiniBand links and other compatible transceivers. The 50 µm core diameter and OM3 specification provide improved bandwidth and modal performance for short to medium reach connections.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode fibre offers consistent transmission characteristics suited to high-speed interconnects and switch-to-switch links. The duplex LC connector configuration simplifies patching in dense racks and enables straightforward mating with standard LC ports. The cable's 5 m length provides flexibility for equipment placement while minimising excess cable management in server and network cabinets.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand high-speed links between servers and switches
• Data centre rack-to-rack connections and short backbone runs
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
• Storage area network (SAN) and fibre channel over short reaches

Key specifications

• Cable type: multimode fibre (OM3)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector types: LC to LC with APC polishing on one or both ends as indicated by product title
• Length: 5 metres
• Duplex/full-duplex support: yes
• Intended use: InfiniBand and other compatible short- to medium-reach high-speed links

How to use

Route the fibre cable through cable management paths to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on your transceivers or switch modules until it clicks. Confirm full-duplex link status on the connected devices and verify signal quality using appropriate diagnostic tools. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch and pull straight to avoid damaging the ferrule or connector boot.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer's minimum and keep connector endfaces clean with suitable fibre cleaning tools. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and store the cable coiled loosely to prevent microbends. Verify compatibility of transceivers and port types before installation to ensure correct polarity and optical performance.
