BlueOptics InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 3 m LC‑LC OM2 (model 470-10694-BO)

BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m LC‑LC OM2 (model 470-10694-BO) is a multimode OM2 (50/125 µm) patch cable with LC/UPC connectors in a 3-metre length. It is intended for use in network interconnects such as switches, transceivers and patch panels and supports full-duplex data transmission for InfiniBand and other optical connectivity applications. The cable has an ochre LSZH jacket and is built to industry test standards for consistent optical performance.

Advantages

The cable uses laser-optimized multimode OM2 fiber and high-quality LC/UPC connectors to deliver low attenuation and low insertion loss across typical multimode link distances. It is manufactured with branded fiber and connectors and undergoes interferometer and OTDR testing, with measurement protocols provided for input loss and return loss. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous emissions in the event of fire.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This OM2 multimode cable is not intended for long‑haul singlemode applications or links that require higher modal bandwidth (for example OM3/OM4/OM5) for extended 10 Gb/s+ distances. It may also be unnecessary for very short copper or direct-attach needs where fibre is not required.

Key specifications

How to use

Uncoil the 3 m LC‑LC multimode cable and inspect LC connectors for dust or contamination before use. Plug each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on the transceiver, switch or patch panel until it clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends (observe minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber) and secure with cable management to prevent strain. If needed, verify optical link performance using an appropriate test set and refer to the included measurement protocol for input and return loss values.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Keep connectors capped when not in use, maintain cleanliness with lint-free wipes or approved cleaning tools, and avoid tight bends or excessive pulling to preserve optical performance and connector lifetime.
