BlueOptics SFP3132EU0.5MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m LC SC

BlueOptics SFP3132EU0.5MK is a 0.5 m duplex fiber optic patch cord with LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors, laser‑optimized multimode OM3 fiber (G50/125 µm) and an aqua jacket. It is designed for 850 nm transmission and for connecting patch panel ports, optical transceivers or other devices requiring LC‑SC duplex links. The cable is available in multiple lengths and uses an LSZH flame‑retardant jacket.

Advantages

This OM3 LC‑SC duplex cable offers low attenuation (3.5 dB/km), low insertion loss and high return loss. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules with up to 1500 mating cycles. Components include branded fibers from manufacturers such as Corning, Fujikura or YOFC, and connectors from established vendors. Each unit is tested with interferometer and OTDR and supplied with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss. The cable conforms to Telcordia GR‑326‑Core and common industry safety and RoHS standards.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connectors and ensure dust caps are removed before mating. Plug the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port, observing polarity for duplex transmission. Route the cable without sharp bends (respect bend radius) and secure with appropriate cable management to avoid tension. For installation in racks or panels, insert connectors into their respective adapter ports; for transceiver connections, ensure compatible transceiver types and wavelength (850 nm) are used.

Recommendations

Store and handle the OM3 cable in a clean environment, use dust caps when not in use, and follow manufacturer guidelines for bend radius and mating cycles. For critical links, keep the included OTDR/interferometer measurement protocol for reference and perform periodic inspections to maintain link quality.
