BlueOptics SFP3132EU20MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m LC SC Aqua

The BlueOptics SFP3132EU20MK is a 20 m OM3 multimode fibre optic patch cord with duplex LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors and an aqua-coloured LSZH jacket. Designed for 850 nm transmission and a 50/125 µm core diameter, this cable supports full-duplex InfiniBand and high-speed data links in data centres, server rooms and structured network installations. It is manufactured with laser-optimized multimode fibre to ensure consistent modal performance and is available in standard lengths to suit common cabling needs.

Advantages

The cable offers low attenuation (typical 3.5 dB/km) and high return loss, supporting reliable short-range multimode links. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for long service life and the assembly is built from branded fibres and connector components to reduce insertion loss and ensure stable signal quality. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and hazardous gas emission in case of fire and the product is tested with interferometer and OTDR; a measurement protocol for insertion and return loss is supplied with each unit.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces and ensure they are clean before making connections. Route the cable along existing cable trays or management systems, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to maintain the specified minimum bend radius. Insert the LC and SC connectors into corresponding ports on transceivers or patch panels until they latch securely. For optimal performance, verify link parameters after installation using appropriate test equipment and keep the supplied measurement protocol with system documentation.

Recommendations

Use this OM3 duplex patch cord for short-range multimode links up to the recommended distances for 850 nm systems. Clean connector endfaces with suitable fibre cleaning tools before each mating, avoid excessive tensile stress on the cable, and store in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. For customised lengths or different connector combinations, consult technical support to ensure compatibility with your network hardware.
