BlueOptics SFP3132FU2MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m LC SC

BlueOptics SFP3132FU2MK is a 2 meter InfiniBand-grade fiber optic patch cord with duplex LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors and laser-optimized multimode OM4 fiber (G50/125 µm) in magenta. The cable is intended for 850 nm transmission and supports full-duplex connections between patch panels, optical transceivers and other network equipment. The jacket is flame-retardant LSZH to reduce smoke and avoid halogen release in case of fire.

Advantages

This OM4 LC–SC duplex patch cord provides low attenuation (2.5 dB/km) and high return loss; connector polish options (UPC or 8° APC) allow further return-loss optimization. It is built with branded multimode fiber from manufacturers such as Corning, Fujikura or YOFC and uses precision zirconia ceramic ferrules from established connector makers to ensure up to 1,500 mating cycles. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR and shipped with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss. Compliance includes Telcordia GR-326-Core and industry standards such as IEC and RoHS.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before installation and, if needed, clean with appropriate fiber-cleaning tools. Insert the LC and SC connectors into compatible transceivers or patch panel adapters until they click into place, ensuring correct duplex orientation for transmit and receive channels. Route the cable following standard bend-radius and strain-relief practices to avoid microbending losses. For custom routing, secure the cable with appropriate fasteners without compressing the jacket.

Recommendations

Use this OM4 duplex LC–SC patch cord for short- to medium-distance multimode links where 850 nm transmission and low attenuation are required. Choose the correct connector polish (UPC or APC) and verify test reports provided with the cable before deployment. For long-term reliability, avoid tight bends, excessive pulling force and contamination of endfaces.
