BlueOptics AK345A-BO InfiniBand sklenené vlákno kábel 2 m LC žltý

The BlueOptics AK345A-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2 m LC Yellow is a short-distance multimode/compatible single-mode fibre cable designed for high-speed data transmission in network and data centre environments. It uses G.657.A1 fibre with a 125 µm core diameter and LC connectors on both ends, providing low insertion loss and predictable optical performance for InfiniBand links and other high-bandwidth interconnects. The 2 m length and bright yellow jacket aid in rapid installation and identification within patch cabinets and rack layouts.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers precise optical characteristics from the G.657.A1 fibre type, ensuring bend-insensitive behaviour suitable for compact routing and dense cabling environments. LC connectors provide a small-form-factor interface that is widely used in modern networking equipment. The 2 m length reduces unnecessary slack while maintaining enough reach between adjacent racks or equipment, and the yellow jacket makes the cable easily distinguishable in mixed-cable installations.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand connections between switches, host channel adapters and storage nodes
• Short-reach links in data centres and server rooms
• Patch-panel to transceiver connections in high-density racks
• Environments requiring bend-insensitive fibre routing and organised cable management

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC
• Fibre standard: G.657.A1 (bend-insensitive)
• Core diameter: 125 µm
• Cable length: 2 m
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Application: InfiniBand and high-speed optical interconnects

How to use

Route the BlueOptics AK345A-BO cable between the two intended InfiniBand ports, ensuring that LC connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Align and insert the LC connector until it clicks into the transceiver or adapter slot. Avoid tight bends near the connector boots; respect minimum bend radius guidelines for G.657.A1 fibre to preserve optical performance. If using patch panels, secure excess cable length with cable management accessories to prevent stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, clean LC connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before every connection and store spare cables in a dust-free environment. Use labelled cable runs and maintain organised trays to reduce strain and preserve bend-insensitive properties of the G.657.A1 fibre.
