BlueOptics SFP3131EU30MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m LC OM3

BlueOptics SFP3131EU30MK is a 30 meter InfiniBand fibre optic patch cord with duplex LC/UPC to LC/UPC connectors and laser-optimized multi-mode OM3 fibre (50/125 µm). The cable is designed for 850 nm transmission, supports full-duplex links and is suitable for connecting optical transceivers or patch panel ports in data centres and network installations. The jacket is flame-retardant LSZH and the cable is finished in aqua colour.

Advantages

The OM3 multi-mode fibre provides low attenuation (3.5 dB/km) and high return loss; connector polish options (UPC or 8° APC) allow further return-loss optimisation. High-quality branded fibre and connectors are used (manufacturers such as Corning, Fujikura or YOFC for fibre and Amphenol, Diamond, Nissin Kasei or Reichle & De-Massari for connectors) with BlueOptics zirconia ceramic ferrules rated up to 1500 mating cycles. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR and delivered with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the patch cord between the two LC ports to be connected, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Ensure LC connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal loss; use dust caps until connection. Plug the LC connectors into the transceivers or patch panel ports until they click. For best performance, verify insertion loss and return loss using appropriate test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics SFP3131EU30MK for short- to medium-range multimode links in controlled environments such as data centres. Protect the cable from tight bends and mechanical stress, and request custom lengths if standard sizes do not meet routing requirements. Keep connector endfaces clean and store with dust caps when not in use.
