Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics 00MN514-BO 15 m LC aqua

The BlueOptics 00MN514-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m LC Aqua is a 15-metre multimode OM3 patch cable with LC to LC connectors designed for high-speed InfiniBand and optical networking links. It provides a factory-tested OM3 multimode fibre path in an aqua LSZH sheath for reduced smoke and no halogen in case of fire. The cable is intended for patching between transceivers and patch panel ports and for linking short- to medium-distance optical connections in data centre and enterprise environments.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable delivers low attenuation and high return loss suitable for demanding InfiniBand and Ethernet applications. Connectors are manufactured with zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded components to ensure stable mating performance and long service life. Each cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR to provide measured input loss and return loss values, ensuring predictable signal quality. The LSZH sheath reduces hazardous emissions and the cable meets relevant industrial quality standards for structured cabling.

Suitable for

• Patching between optical transceivers and network switches
• Connections between patch panels in data centres
• Short- to medium-range InfiniBand links and high-speed multimode networks
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 15 metres
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Connector type: LC to LC (duplex)
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Tested with interferometer and OTDR; supplied with measurement protocol for insertion and return loss
• Zirconia ceramic ferrule connectors; rated for high mating cycles

How to use

Route the cable carefully between the required ports, avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode OM3 fibre. Clean connector endfaces before insertion using appropriate fibre cleaning tools to prevent signal loss. Plug the LC duplex connectors into matching LC ports on transceivers or patch panels, ensuring correct polarity for duplex links. Follow standard data centre cabling practices for strain relief and cable management.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, keep connector caps on when not in use, and perform endface inspection and cleaning prior to deployment. For permanent links or runs longer than recommended multimode distances, verify link budget and consider singlemode or active solutions where appropriate.
