BlueOptics SFP3131BU15MM InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m LC Yellow

BlueOptics SFP3131BU15MM is a 15 meter duplex fiber optic patch cord with LC/APC to LC/APC (8° angled polish) connectors and laser-optimized single-mode fiber in category G.657.A1 (9/125 µm core/cladding). The cable is yellow and designed for full-duplex transmission of 1310 nm and 1550 nm signals, suitable for connecting patch panel ports, optical transceivers and other fiber equipment.

Advantages

The patch cord features low attenuation (0.4 dB/km), low insertion loss and high return loss, and is manufactured with branded fibers and industry-grade connectors. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for reliable mating performance and long lifecycle. The cable jacket is LSZH (flame-retardant, low smoke, halogen-free) to meet safety requirements in confined or public spaces. Each unit is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR and shipped with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the patch cord between LC/APC ports ensuring the angled-polish connectors align with APC receptacles to maintain low back-reflection. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; follow minimum bend radius recommendations for single-mode fiber. Connect one end to the source transceiver or patch panel port and the other end to the destination transceiver or port. Verify optical link performance using appropriate test equipment and the included measurement protocol.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, protect connector endfaces with dust caps until installation, and perform inspection/cleaning before mating to ensure optimal attenuation and return loss values are maintained.
