BlueOptics SFP3132BU2MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m LC SC Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP3132BU2MK is a 2 m InfiniBand fibre optic patch cord with duplex LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors and single-mode G.657.A1 fibre (9 µm core). The cable is designed for full-duplex transmission at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths and is supplied in yellow with an LSZH flame-retardant jacket. Manufactured to industry standards and tested with interferometer and OTDR, this patch cord includes a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss with each unit.

Advantages

The G.657.A1 single-mode fibre provides low attenuation and optimized bend performance suitable for tight routing in data centres and telecom infrastructures. Factory-terminated connectors use zirconia ferrules and branded components to ensure consistent mating durability and low insertion loss. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and avoids halogen emission in case of fire, supporting compliance with common safety norms. Each cable is tested and delivered with measured loss and return-loss values for quality assurance.

How to use

Route the BlueOptics SFP3132BU2MK patch cord between the LC port and the SC port ensuring connectors are clean and dust-free before insertion. Align the duplex LC connector with the transceiver or patch panel port and push until it latches; insert the SC connector into the corresponding SC receptacle until it seats. Avoid tight bends below the fibre's minimum bend radius and secure the cable using appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. If required, compare the supplied measurement protocol with your link budget to verify expected insertion loss.

Recommendations

Keep connector end faces protected with dust caps until installation and use approved fibre cleaning tools before mating. For best long-term performance, route the cable with gentle curves, avoid tensile stress, and store spare lengths in service loops. Select UPC polish variants when low back reflection is acceptable; consider APC polish only where specified by system transceivers.
