BlueOptics SFP3131EU15MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m 2x LC

The BlueOptics SFP3131EU15MK is a 15 m InfiniBand duplex fibre optic patch cable with LC/UPC to LC/UPC connectors and OM3 laser-optimized multi-mode fiber (50/125 µm). Designed for high-speed data transfer in data centers and professional networking environments, this aqua-coloured cable supports 850 nm signal transmission and full-duplex communication between transceivers, patch panels and other optical equipment. The cable is fitted with a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket to reduce smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire while meeting common industry safety standards.

Advantages

The cable offers low attenuation (approximately 3.5 dB/km) and high return loss for reliable signal integrity over short to medium distances. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded components to ensure durability and up to 1500 mating cycles. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR and supplied with a measurement protocol for input loss and return loss, ensuring consistent performance and traceability. The OM3 fibre and duplex LC connectors provide compatibility with InfiniBand and multimode Ethernet transceivers commonly used in data centers.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one duplex LC connector to the optical transceiver or patch panel port and the other end to the corresponding LC port on the remote device, ensuring correct alignment of the duplex polarity. Avoid excessive bending; maintain the cable's minimum bend radius to prevent increased insertion loss. If routing through cabinets or trays, secure the cable gently to avoid strain on the connectors. Use the supplied measurement protocol to verify insertion loss and return loss after installation if required.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid sharp bends or tension. For best performance, pair OM3 multimode links with compatible OM3-rated transceivers and maintain proper connector cleanliness using appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating.
