BlueOptics SFP3132EU30MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m LC SC Aqua

The BlueOptics SFP3132EU30MK is a 30 m InfiniBand fibre optic patch cord with duplex LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors and an OM3 (50/125 µm) laser-optimized multimode fibre. Designed for 850 nm transmission, this aqua-coloured cable supports high-speed data links between optical transceivers, patch panels and active equipment in data centers and enterprise networks. The cable features a low-smoking, halogen-free (LSZH) jacket for improved fire safety and is produced using branded multimode fiber and precision ceramic ferrule connectors to ensure reliable signal integrity and long service life.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss consistent with OM3 multimode performance and is supplied with test reports showing measured input loss and return loss values. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules and components from established manufacturers to support up to 1500 mating cycles. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and eliminates halogen release in fire conditions. Manufacturing and testing include interferometer and OTDR verification to help ensure error-free transmission and compliance with common industry requirements.

How to use

Inspect each connector end and the test report supplied with the cable before installation. Route the cable through cable trays or conduits with gentle bends and avoid sharp kinks; respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibres. Plug the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding transceiver or patch-panel ports until they click into place. After installation, verify link performance with appropriate optical test equipment or rely on the included measurement protocol for input and return loss values.

Recommendations

For best results, use this OM3 duplex LC–SC cable for 850 nm multimode links up to the supported distance for OM3 in InfiniBand or Ethernet applications, keep connectors clean using proper fibre cleaning tools, and store spare cables coiled without tight bends. If custom lengths or different polish types are required, consider ordering to specification to match system return-loss requirements.
