BlueOptics BK838A-BO Καλώδιο οπτικών ινών InfiniBand 1 m LC Aqua

The BlueOptics BK838A-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m LC Aqua is a 1 metre multimode OM3 fibre patch cable with LC to LC connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and network environments. Constructed with laser-optimized multimode OM3 fibre and LC/UPC-style connectors in an aqua-coloured LSZH jacket, this cable is intended for short-range links between patch panels, switches and optical transceivers where InfiniBand and high-throughput connectivity are required.

Advantages

This OM3 LC–LC cable provides low attenuation per kilometre and high return-loss performance, supporting reliable signal integrity for demanding applications. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheath reduces toxic gas and smoke emission in the event of fire, meeting common safety requirements for enclosed network spaces. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for long service life and consistent mating performance, and each cable is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR to document input-loss and return-loss values.

Suitable for

• Short-range InfiniBand links in data centres
• Connections between patch panels and optical transceivers
• Multimode OM3 backbone and server interconnects
• High-density LC port environments and rack-mounted equipment

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3 (laser-optimized)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: LC to LC (LC/UPC style)
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), aqua colour
• Testing: Interferometer and OTDR measurement protocol for input loss and return loss
• Durability: Zirconia ceramic ferrules with high mating-cycle lifetime
• Standards compliance: Manufactured to industry norms and Telcordia GR-326-Core requirements

How to use

Install the BlueOptics BK838A-BO by inserting LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or switches, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before mating. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for OM3 multimode fibre. After installation, verify optical link performance using appropriate test equipment and consult the supplied measurement protocol to confirm input-loss and return-loss parameters.

Recommendations

Prior to connecting, clean LC connector endfaces with suitable fibre cleaning tools to prevent insertion loss and potential damage. Use cable management to secure the 1 m cable in high-density racks to prevent microbends and mechanical stress. For long-term reliability, follow regular inspection and testing schedules and replace cables showing elevated loss or physical damage.
