BlueOptics LRCABLE7M-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 7,5 m LC

The BlueOptics LRCABLE7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7.5 m single-mode LC–LC patch cable using G.657.A1 fibre. Designed for high-speed networking and InfiniBand links, it features LC/UPC connectors and a flame-retardant LSZH outer sheath for installation in data centers and other confined spaces where low smoke and no halogen emission are required. The cable is manufactured with branded single-mode fibre and precision zirconia ferrules to ensure stable optical performance and long service life.

Advantages

This LC–LC G.657.A1 fibre patch cable offers low attenuation per kilometre and high return loss, resulting in efficient signal transmission for short- to medium-distance links. BlueOptics uses quality fibre and connector components to achieve consistent optical parameters, and each cable is factory-tested with interferometry and OTDR. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, while the ceramic ferrules and quality connectors support long mating-cycle life and reliable mechanical performance.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects and high-speed server networking
• Connecting optical transceivers to patch panels or switches
• Data center and rack-to-rack fibre links requiring LSZH sheathing
• Environments where low attenuation and high return loss are required

• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Tested: interferometer and OTDR with documented insertion loss and return loss
• Durability: zirconia ceramic ferrules with high mating cycle lifetime

How to use

Install the BlueOptics LRCABLE7M-BO by inserting the LC connectors into matching LC ports on transceivers, switches, or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation and secure latching. Avoid sharp bends near the connector area and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for G.657.A1 fibre to preserve optical performance. For best results, verify insertion loss and link performance after installation using appropriate optical test equipment.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable in cable management channels or trays to avoid mechanical stress. When deploying in densely packed racks or trays, maintain bend radii and avoid crushing. If enhanced return loss is required, consult with the supplier about polish types or customisation options. Use standard optical cleaning procedures for LC connector endfaces before mating to minimise insertion loss and contamination.
