BlueOptics SFP3133BU0.5MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m LC ST

The BlueOptics SFP3133BU0.5MK is a 0.5 m InfiniBand fibre optic patch cord with duplex LC/UPC to ST/PC connectors. It uses G.657.A1 single-mode fibre (9 µm core) designed for full-duplex transmission of 1310 nm and 1550 nm signals. The cable has a yellow LSZH jacket, low attenuation and high return loss, and is suitable for connecting patch panels, optical transceivers and other network devices where short, reliable fibre links are required.

Advantages

This fibre patch cord provides low insertion loss and high return loss, supporting error‑free transmission confirmed by interferometer and OTDR testing. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules from established manufacturers and are rated for up to 1500 mating cycles. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and eliminates halogen release in the event of fire. Manufactured to meet industry norms, the cable is compatible with standard optical equipment and is available in multiple lengths to match installation needs.

How to use

Inspect connectors and fibre ends before installation to ensure cleanliness. Align and insert the LC connector(s) into the intended SFP/patch panel ports and secure the ST connector into the corresponding ST receptacle on equipment or panels. Avoid tight bends and maintain the specified minimum bend radius for G.657.A1 fibre. After installation, verify link integrity using appropriate test equipment and confirm insertion and return loss meet site requirements.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep connector endfaces clean and store unused connectors with protective caps. Route the cable to minimize stress and bending near connectors; use proper strain relief. Choose the LC‑ST variant for equipment compatibility and select longer lengths only when necessary to avoid excess slack that can affect routing or safety.
