BlueOptics SFP3131EU10MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m LC OM3

BlueOptics SFP3131EU10MK is a 10 m duplex fiber optic patch cord with LC/UPC to LC/UPC connectors and laser-optimized multi-mode OM3 fiber (50/125 µm). The aqua-colored cable is designed for 850 nm transmission and supports connections between patch panels, optical transceivers and other LC-equipped devices. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and does not release halogens in case of fire.

Advantages

The cable offers low attenuation (3.5 dB/km), low insertion loss and high return loss. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded components to ensure durability and up to 1500 mating cycles. Each patch cord is tested with interferometer and OTDR; a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss is included with delivery. The product complies with Telcordia GR-326-Core 4.4 and common industry safety and material standards.

Key specifications

How to use

Prepare the devices or patch panel ports by ensuring LC ports are clean and powered down if required. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC receptacle until it clicks; ensure duplex orientation is correct for transmit/receive pairs. Avoid bending the cable beyond the specified bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. For troubleshooting, inspect connector endfaces with a fiber inspection scope and consult the included test report for expected insertion and return loss values.

Recommendations

Store and transport the cable coiled without tight loops, protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use, and perform endface cleaning before installation. Request custom lengths from the manufacturer if a different run length is required.
