Cable InfiniBand/de fibra óptica BlueOptics 15 m LC OM4 125 µm

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m LC OM4 125 µm is a multimode optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers, server rooms and networking installations. It combines LC connectors with OM4 graded multimode fibre and a 125 µm core diameter to support low-loss signal transmission and high bandwidth over medium-range links. The 15 metre length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections while maintaining signal integrity for InfiniBand and other high-performance interconnects.

Advantages

This cable uses OM4 multimode fibre to offer improved bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared with lower fibre grades, making it suitable for 10 Gb/s and higher links over typical data center distances. The LC connectors provide a compact duplex interface that fits standard transceivers and patch panels. The 125 µm core diameter conforms to multimode fibre standards, ensuring compatibility with common multimode transceivers and switches. A 15 m length balances reach and manageability in structured cabling runs.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects between servers and storage systems
• High-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel links within data centers
• Patch-panel and rack-to-rack multimode fiber connections
• Short- to medium-range backbone and aggregation links

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Core diameter: 125 µm
• Length: 15 m
• Cable application: InfiniBand and multimode fibre networking

How to use

Route the cable following standard data centre cabling practices, avoiding tight bends and excessive mechanical stress. Insert the LC duplex connectors into compatible LC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels until they click into place. Ensure connector endfaces are clean using appropriate fibre inspection and cleaning tools before making the connection to minimize insertion loss. Secure the cable along trays or within racks to prevent movement and strain on connector interfaces.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use OM4-compatible transceivers and keep total link length within recommended limits for the target data rate. Regularly inspect and clean connector endfaces, and avoid routing the cable near sources of electromagnetic interference despite fiber's immunity to EMI. Label both ends of the cable for easy identification during maintenance.
