Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics BK841A-BO 15 m LC aqua

The BlueOptics BK841A-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m LC Aqua is a 15‑metre OM3 multimode fibre patch cable with LC to LC connectors designed for high-speed data links in data centres and networking environments. The cable uses laser‑optimized OM3 fibre and LC connectors in aqua housing to support InfiniBand and other optical interconnects, and is fitted with a low‑smoke, zero‑halogen (LSZH) sheath for improved fire safety in enclosed installations.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable provides low attenuation per kilometre and high return loss for reliable signal integrity across short to medium distances. Connectors are built with zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded component parts to ensure consistent mating performance and a long service life. Each cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR and supplied with measured input loss and return loss values to confirm compliance with quality requirements.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand connections between switches and servers
• Patch panels and short‑reach links in data centres
• Connecting optical transceivers and SFP+/QSFP+ modules supporting multimode OM3
• High‑density network racks requiring LC‑to‑LC patching

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode (laser‑optimized)
• Connector type: LC to LC (UPC) in aqua housing
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Tested parameters: input loss and return loss; OTDR and interferometer tested
• Typical use: short to medium distance high‑speed data links

How to use

Route the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; adhere to the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM3 multimode fibre. Insert LC connectors into compatible LC ports on patch panels, transceivers, or switches until they click into place. Use the supplied measurement protocol to verify insertion loss and return loss after installation and perform OTDR or link‑level testing in critical deployments to confirm link performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, keep connector end faces protected with dust caps until connection, and avoid kinking. For best results in data centre racks, route cables in dedicated trays or management panels and label both ends to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
