BlueOptics CAB-SMF-SC-SC-2-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 2 m SC SC G.657.A1

The BlueOptics CAB-SMF-SC-SC-2-BO is a 2 m InfiniBand single-mode fibre optic patch cable with SC-to-SC connectors and G.657.A1 fibre. Designed for full-duplex optical links, the cable provides a reliable connection between transceivers, patch panels and other optical ports in data centre and networking environments. The cable uses laser-optimized single-mode fibre with a 125 µm cladding diameter and is sleeved in a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath for installations with fire safety requirements.

Advantages

This SC–SC G.657.A1 cable offers low attenuation per kilometre and high return loss for stable signal transmission. Connectors are manufactured with zirconia ceramic ferrules for consistent alignment and long mating life. BlueOptics production includes interferometer and OTDR testing with measurement protocols for input loss and return loss, and manufacturing follows common industrial standards to ensure compatibility and predictable performance.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and optical transceivers in data centres
• High-speed InfiniBand links and server-to-switch connections
• Telecommunications racks and backbone fibre runs within buildings
• Environments requiring LSZH cabling for fire safety compliance

How to use

Before installing, inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Insert the SC connectors into matching SC ports on patch panels or transceivers, ensuring secure latching. Route the 2 m cable with appropriate bend radius for G.657.A1 fibre to avoid microbends; secure using cable management accessories and avoid tension. For critical links, verify optical loss using an optical power meter or check the supplied measurement protocol.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments that require LSZH jacket material and observe handling best practices: avoid tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, prevent excessive pulling force, and keep connector endfaces protected until connection. For improved return loss in specialized applications, consult service personnel about connector polish types or order custom lengths and configurations.
