BlueOptics SFP2121BU1MM InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 1m LC Yellow

BlueOptics SFP2121BU1MM is a 1 metre LC–LC simplex fibre optic patch cord in yellow, designed for single-mode (OS2 / G.657.A1, 9/125 µm) transmission. It uses LC/APC connectors on both ends, a flame-retardant LSZH jacket and is intended for connecting patch panel ports, optical transceivers or other fibre equipment to support 1310 nm and 1550 nm signals.

Advantages

The cable offers low attenuation (0.4 dB/km), low insertion loss and high return loss, with the option to further optimise return loss by using APC polish. Components include branded single-mode fibre from recognised manufacturers and BlueOptics zirconia ferrules; connectors are produced by established suppliers and the ferrule design supports up to 1500 mating cycles. Each assembly is tested with interferometer and OTDR and shipped with a measurement protocol of insertion loss and return loss values.

How to use

Verify that both ends are clean and free of dust before connector mating. Insert the LC connectors into the corresponding LC/APC ports of patch panels or transceivers, ensuring the APC key alignment for correct polish orientation. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. For best optical performance, follow standard cleaning and handling procedures for single-mode fibre connections.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment; maintain minimum bend radius per manufacturer guidance, use fibre cleaning tools before connection, and request custom lengths if different run distances are required.
