BlueOptics SRCABLE30M-BO InfiniBand-fiberkabel 30 m LC beige

The BlueOptics SRCABLE30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m LC Beige is a 30-metre multimode OM3 patch cable with LC/UPC connectors engineered for high-speed full-duplex optical links. Designed for data center and enterprise networking environments, this cable supports InfiniBand and other high-throughput applications, and is fitted with a flame-retardant LSZH jacket for improved safety in confined spaces.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable delivers low attenuation and high return-loss performance suitable for demanding optical connections. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for durability and longevity, and components are sourced from established fiber and connector manufacturers. Each cable is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR measurements and is supplied with input loss and return loss values to ensure consistent quality. The LSZH sheathing reduces halogen release and smoke in the event of fire, and the cable meets common industrial standards for optical patch cords.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand links and high-speed server interconnects
• Data centre patch panels and top-of-rack connections
• Connections between optical transceivers and switches
• High-bandwidth LAN backbones and storage networks

Key specifications

• Length: 30 metres
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Connector type: LC/UPC to LC/UPC (dual LC)
• Transmission: full duplex optical link
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Ferrule material: zirconia ceramic
• Factory testing: interferometer and OTDR with measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss
• Standards compliance: manufactured to common industrial optical cable norms

How to use

Route the cable between the two LC ports to be connected, avoiding sharp bends and tight radii to prevent microbending losses. Ensure connectors are clean before mating; use appropriate cleaning tools or wipes for LC/UPC ferrules. Insert each LC connector into the transceiver or patch panel port until it clicks, making sure polarity is correct for your link. For best performance, secure the cable with cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors and maintain minimum bend radii during installation.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in temperature- and dust-controlled environments where possible. Periodically inspect and clean connector end-faces, and refer to transceiver and switch manufacturer guidelines for supported fibre types and link budgets to ensure compatibility with OM3 multimode links.
