BlueOptics SFP3132BU1MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m LC SC Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP3132BU1MX InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m LC SC Yellow is a single-mode patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in networking environments. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, and is built with G.657.A1 fibre with a 125 µm core diameter to maintain low loss and reliable signal integrity over short to medium distances. The cable’s 1 m length and yellow jacket make it suitable for organized rack installations and clear visual identification in patch panels and equipment interconnects.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre cable provides low attenuation and controlled bend performance due to the G.657.A1 fibre specification, helping preserve signal quality in constrained routing paths. The combination of LC and SC connectors offers compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and network devices. Its 1 m length reduces excess cable slack in dense rack environments, while the yellow outer jacket supports standard colour-coding for single-mode links.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand transceivers and switches over single-mode links
• Patch panel to equipment connections in data centres and server rooms
• Short to medium distance point-to-point fibre links within racks or cabinets
• Environments requiring colour-coded single-mode cabling for easy identification

Key specifications

• Fibre type: G.657.A1 single-mode
• Core/cladding diameter: 125 µm
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: SC
• Length: 1 m
• Jacket colour: yellow
• Application: InfiniBand / single-mode data transmission

How to use

Identify the appropriate transceiver or device ports for LC and SC connectors, ensuring both ends are clean before insertion. Gently insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until they click or seat fully. Route the cable to avoid tight bends or pinch points; the G.657.A1 specification allows tighter bends than older single-mode fibres, but maintaining a minimum bend radius recommended by equipment manufacturers preserves performance. Use cable management accessories to secure the cable and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Always inspect and, if necessary, clean connector end faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before connecting to avoid contamination-related loss. For optimal reliability, avoid excessive tension or sharp bends and verify link performance after installation using suitable test equipment.
