ROLINE InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 5m 2x LC OS2 9µm vollduplex

The ROLINE InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5m 2x LC OS2 9µm Full duplex is a single-mode optical patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in networking environments. With two LC connectors and OS2 fibre featuring a 9 µm core diameter, this 5-metre cable provides a reliable full-duplex link suitable for InfiniBand, enterprise switches, SANs and fibre-based backbone connections. The cable construction focuses on low attenuation and stable signal integrity over longer distances typical for single-mode installations.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable supports single-mode OS2 performance, which delivers low loss and high bandwidth capacity for long-reach links. The LC connectors provide a compact duplex interface compatible with common networking equipment. At 5 metres length, the cable balances flexibility and reach for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections while maintaining full-duplex transmission for simultaneous send and receive channels. The standardized connector type and single-mode fibre make integration into existing fibre infrastructures straightforward.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects and high-performance computing clusters
• Data centre patching between switches, servers and SANs
• Backbone links where single-mode OS2 fibre is required
• Environments requiring compact duplex LC connections

Key specifications

• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: 2x LC, duplex
• Fibre type: OS2 (single-mode)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Transmission: full duplex

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each LC connector into the appropriate LC port on the network equipment, ensuring the duplex tabs are aligned with the port orientation. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and secure excess cable to prevent strain on connector ends. For production environments, verify link status on connected devices after insertion and perform an optical power or continuity check where appropriate to confirm signal integrity.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to avoid contamination of connector end-faces. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and inspect/clean connector end-faces with approved fibre cleaning tools before making connections. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and protect it from mechanical stress to preserve performance over time.
