BlueOptics SFP3132EU15MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m LC Aqua

The BlueOptics SFP3132EU15MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15 m LC duplex patch cord designed for multimode OM3 networks. It uses 50 µm core diameter multimode fibre optimized for 850 nm transmission and comes with aqua-coloured LSZH jacketing. The cable provides full-duplex communication using LC to SC connectors and is intended for interconnecting patch panels, optical transceivers and other active equipment where reliable short-range high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre cable offers low attenuation (approximately 3.5 dB/km) and low insertion loss together with high return-loss performance. The assembly uses branded multimode fibre and precision ceramic ferrule connectors to ensure stable optical performance and up to 1500 mating cycles. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emission in the event of a fire, and finished assemblies are tested with interferometry and OTDR with measurement protocols supplied.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the fibre cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode OM3 cable. Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating. Insert the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding transceiver or panel ports until they click into place. Verify connectivity and signal levels using appropriate optical testing equipment; compare results with the supplied measurement protocol to confirm acceptable insertion and return loss.

Recommendations

Store and deploy the cable in a dry environment and protect connectors with dust caps when not in use. For critical links, perform OTDR and insertion-loss verification after installation. If a different connector polish or a custom length is required, request these options prior to ordering.
