BlueOptics SFP3132FU5MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m LC OM4

The BlueOptics SFP3132FU5MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m duplex patch cord with LC connectors and OM4 laser-optimized multimode fibre (50/125 µm). Designed for 850 nm transmission, this cable supports full-duplex high-speed data links between patch panels, optical transceivers and networking equipment in data centres and enterprise environments. The sheath is LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) for reduced smoke and no halogen release in the event of a fire. The cable is magenta-coloured to match OM4 industry colour coding and is intended for reliable short-range multimode connections.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fibre delivers low attenuation (approximately 2.5 dB/km at 850 nm) and high return loss, suitable for high-bandwidth multimode applications. Connectors use precision zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded fibre from established manufacturers, providing consistent optical performance and mechanical durability up to typical industry mating cycles. Every cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR and shipped with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss to verify quality. The LSZH jacket meets common fire-safety standards and reduces toxic emissions compared with PVC-jacketed cables.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect both connector end-faces and ports for dust or damage before connecting; clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Align and insert the LC and SC connectors into their corresponding ports until they latch securely. Ensure correct port mapping for duplex links to preserve transmit/receive polarity. Route the cable with gentle bends and avoid sharp kinks; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable without excessive tension. When removing, release the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Recommendations

Use this OM4 duplex cable for short-reach high-bandwidth links where LSZH jacket properties are required. Store and handle connectors protected with dust caps when not connected. For best optical performance, perform insertion loss and link verification after installation and follow structured cabling practices to maintain polarity and reduce connector wear.
