BlueOptics SFP3132BU1MK InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 1m LC SC Yellow

BlueOptics SFP3132BU1MK is a 1 meter single-mode duplex fiber optic patch cord with LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors and G.657.A1 (E9/125 µm) fiber core. The cable is yellow, designed for InfiniBand and other high-speed data transmission at wavelengths such as 1310 nm and 1550 nm, and features an LSZH flame-retardant outer jacket. The assembly is intended for connections between patch panels, optical transceivers and similar network devices.

Advantages

The cable provides low attenuation (specified at 0.4 dB/km) and low insertion loss together with high return loss; connector polish options (UPC or 8° APC) allow further optimization of return loss. Production uses branded G.657.A1 single-mode fiber from established manufacturers and branded connectors with zirconia ceramic ferrules, offering durability up to approximately 1500 mating cycles. Each unit is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR and delivered with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and avoids halogen release in case of fire.

How to use

Inspect connectors and fiber ends for contamination before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if required. Route the patch cord following bend radius recommendations for single-mode fiber and avoid sharp bends or kinks. Plug the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until secure; follow device manufacturer guidance for connecting optical transceivers. Use strain relief and secure cabling along racks or trays to prevent mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Store and handle the BlueOptics SFP3132BU1MK in a dust-free environment; verify the included insertion loss and return loss measurement protocol before commissioning. For custom lengths or connector variants, request factory options. Replace damaged cords to maintain optical performance.
