BlueOptics LRCABLE5M-BO InfiniBand-kuituoptinen kaapeli 5 m LC sininen

The BlueOptics LRCABLE5M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 5m LC Blue is a 5-metre single-mode patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data centre environments. It uses G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter and LC connectors on both ends, providing full-duplex optical links with low insertion loss. The cable features an LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen) jacket and is intended for short- to medium-reach interconnects between patch panels, transceivers and active network equipment.

Advantages

The G.657.A1 fibre type offers improved bend performance compared with standard single-mode fibres, reducing signal loss in routed or confined installations. LC connectors provide a compact duplex connection that is widely supported by InfiniBand transceivers and networking gear. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations where cable safety standards are required. The 5 m length balances reach and signal quality for typical rack-to-rack and equipment-to-panel connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand transceivers and switches in data centres
• Patch panel to transceiver or patch panel to patch panel links
• High-speed storage area networks and compute clusters
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: G.657.A1 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket: LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen)
• Polarity: full duplex

How to use

Inspect connector end-faces before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to avoid contamination and signal degradation. Route the cable following recommended bend-radius guidelines for G.657.A1 fibre to preserve the improved bend performance; avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. Insert LC connectors into compatible duplex ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels until the latch clicks. Secure excess cable with cable management panels or ties that do not compress the jacket.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, perform end-to-end testing after installation to verify insertion loss and continuity. Use this 5 m LC-LC cable for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel connections where a compact LC duplex interface and LSZH jacket are required. Replace or re-clean connectors if signal degradation is detected.
