BlueOptics QK732A-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 1 m LC violet

The BlueOptics QK732A-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m LC Violet is a 1 metre LC-to-LC multimode patch cable using OM4 fibre with a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for full-duplex optical links, this cable supports high-speed data transmission in data centres, server racks and networking equipment that use LC connectors. The cable is supplied in violet sheathing and uses laser-optimized multimode fibre for improved bandwidth and lower attenuation over short to medium distances.

Advantages

This OM4 LC–LC patch cable provides low attenuation and high return loss suitable for demanding optical patching applications. It is manufactured with branded multimode fibre and precision zirconia ceramic ferrules to ensure consistent mating performance and a long operational life. The cable features a flame-retardant LSZH jacket to reduce halogen emissions and smoke in case of fire and is tested with interferometer and OTDR to verify input loss and return loss values.

Suitable for

• Data centre patch panels and rack-to-rack connections
• InfiniBand and high-speed networking links requiring LC connectors
• Connecting optical transceivers and equipment ports in server rooms
• Short- to medium-distance multimode optical links with OM4 fibre

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Length: 1 metre
• Polarity: full duplex
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Colour: violet
• Tested with interferometer and OTDR for insertion loss and return loss

How to use

Inspect the LC connectors and ensure dust caps are removed before insertion. Route the 1 m OM4 cable between the two LC ports, taking care to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain. Insert each LC connector fully into the corresponding receptacle until it clicks to ensure correct mating. Verify link status on connected equipment and, if required, measure insertion loss and return loss with appropriate test equipment.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum recommended bend radius for OM4 multimode fibre. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and perform periodic visual and optical checks if used in critical infrastructure.
