BlueOptics BK837A InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 0,5 m LC OM3

The BlueOptics BK837A InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m LC OM3 is a short, high-performance multimode patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in rack, switch and server interconnects. The cable uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 125 µm core diameter and LC connectors on both ends to provide reliable full-duplex links where low latency and consistent throughput are required. With a compact 0.5 m length, this fibre cable is suited to tidy, short-reach connections inside equipment cabinets and dense networking panels.

Advantages

OM3 multimode construction supports high bandwidth for InfiniBand and multimode Ethernet applications while maintaining signal integrity over short distances. LC connectors offer a small form factor that fits high-density ports and minimizes port crowding. The 0.5 m length reduces excess cabling, improves airflow in racks and simplifies cable management. The cable is suitable for environments where predictable performance and low insertion loss are important.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches, routers and servers
• InfiniBand fabrics and high-performance computing clusters
• Patch panels and high-density transceiver ports
• Data centre rack and cabinet cabling

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Length: 0.5 m
• Core diameter: 125 µm
• Transmission mode: Full duplex
• Application: InfiniBand and multimode optical networks

How to use

Inspect connectors for dust or damage before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines for OM3 multimode fibre. Insert LC connectors into compatible LC ports on transceivers, switches or servers until they click into place. For removal, depress the latch on the LC connector and gently pull straight out to avoid strain on the fibre.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination. Use dust caps when ports or connectors are not in use. For best performance in InfiniBand deployments, pair the cable with transceivers and equipment rated for OM3 multimode operation and verify link status after installation.
