BlueOptics CAB-SMF-LC-LC-15-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 15 m 2x LC

The BlueOptics CAB-SMF-LC-LC-15-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15 m single-mode jump cable equipped with two LC connectors for reliable full-duplex data transmission. It uses G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter, offering low attenuation and improved bend performance suitable for structured cabling in data centers and high-density network environments. The cable supports high-speed InfiniBand links and is designed for point-to-point connections between switches, servers, and storage equipment.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides stable, low-loss signal transmission over 15 metres with standardized LC terminations that ensure secure mating with compatible transceivers and patch panels. The G.657.A1 fibre type offers enhanced bend tolerance compared with older single-mode fibres, reducing the risk of performance degradation in constrained routing scenarios. The full-duplex design allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels, supporting high throughput and low-latency links required by InfiniBand networks.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting servers, switches and storage in data centers
• High-speed InfiniBand network links and cluster environments
• Patching between LC-equipped fiber panels and active equipment
• Environments with limited cable bend radius or tight routing paths

Key specifications

• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: 2x LC (dual LC connectors for full duplex)
• Fibre type: G.657.A1 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Transmission mode: Single-mode, full duplex
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data links

How to use

Route the cable between the two endpoints avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile loads. Insert LC connectors into matching LC ports on transceivers or patch panels until they click into place, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive channels. Label both ends if needed for future maintenance, and use appropriate cable management such as trays or ties to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent strain on connector interfaces.

Recommendations

Inspect connector end faces before installation and clean with approved fibre cleaning tools if contamination is present. Maintain the recommended bend radius for G.657.A1 fibre and avoid tight loops; store spare length neatly coiled and secured to prevent microbending.
