BlueOptics SFP3132BU7.5MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC SC

BlueOptics SFP3132BU7.5MK is a 7.5 metre duplex fibre optic patch cord with LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors and single-mode OS2 (G.657.A1, 9/125 µm) fibre in yellow jacket. The cable is designed for transmission at 1310 nm and 1550 nm and is suitable for connecting patch panels, optical transceivers and other fibre equipment in InfiniBand and single-mode networking environments. The jacket is flame-retardant LSZH and the assembly is tested with interferometer and OTDR; a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss is included.

Advantages

The patch cord offers low attenuation (0.4 dB/km), low insertion loss and high return loss with the option to optimise return loss by choosing UPC or APC polish. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules from established manufacturers and components use branded single-mode fibre from suppliers such as Corning, Fujikura or YOFC, providing consistent optical performance and up to 1500 mating cycles. The product complies with Telcordia GR-326-Core and common IEC and RoHS standards and is available in multiple standard lengths or custom length on request.

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for contamination before connection and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Insert the LC and SC connectors into the matching ports on patch panels or transceivers until they click or seat firmly. Route the cable without sharp bends and respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for G.657.A1 fibre to avoid increased loss. For long-term installations label both ends and secure the cable with appropriate management accessories.

Recommendations

Use the supplied measurement protocol to verify insertion and return loss after installation. For environments where minimal smoke and no halogen emission are required, prefer LSZH-jacketed patch cords. For best optical return loss choose the connector polish (UPC or APC) that matches your system requirements.
