Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics AK346A-BO 5 m LC amarelo

The BlueOptics AK346A-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m LC Yellow is a 5-meter single-mode patch cable with LC-to-LC connectors, built on G.657.A1 fibre technology for reliable optical data transmission. Designed to be compatible with HPE AK346A ports, this Yellow LC-LC cable is intended for short- to medium-length connections in data centres and enterprise networks. The cable features a flame-retardant LSZH jacket and is factory tested for insertion loss and return loss, with results supplied in a measurement protocol.

Advantages

The cable uses laser-optimized single-mode G.657.A1 fibre to provide low attenuation and high return-loss performance. High-quality ceramic ferrules and branded fibre and connector components contribute to consistent signal integrity and long connector life. The LSZH sheath reduces toxic gas and smoke emission in the event of fire, and each cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR to verify optical parameters within industry standards.

Suitable for

• Patch panel to patch panel connections in data centres
• Interconnects between optical transceivers and switch or server ports
• InfiniBand fabrics and high-speed networking links requiring LC-LC single-mode cabling
• Environments requiring low-halogen (LSZH) cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode G.657.A1
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), yellow
• Tested for insertion loss and return loss; supplied with measurement protocol
• Manufactured to meet Telcordia GR-326-Core requirements
• High-quality zirconia ceramic ferrule; rated for extended mating cycles

How to use

Inspect the connectors and cable for visible damage before installation. Route the cable with appropriate bend radius for G.657.A1 single-mode fibre and avoid tight bends or crushing. Insert LC connectors into matching LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or switch modules until they click into place. Verify link performance using optical power meters or the supplied measurement protocol, and label both ends to match the intended connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre and keep connectors clean using appropriate cleaning tools. Use this cable for short to medium interconnects within racks and distribution frames; for longer links verify fibre budget and attenuation. Replace or re-clean connectors if insertion loss exceeds expected values recorded on the supplied test report.
