BlueOptics SFP3232BU30MK InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 30 m SC Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP3232BU30MK is a 30 m InfiniBand fibre optic patch cord with duplex SC connectors and G.657.A1 single-mode fibre. With a 9 µm core diameter and support for full-duplex transmission at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, this yellow SC–SC cable is designed for high-speed, low-loss optical links between patch panels, transceivers and other network equipment. The cable features a flame-retardant LSZH jacket and is produced using branded fibre and ceramic ferrule components to ensure consistent optical performance.

Advantages

The cable offers low attenuation and high return loss values suitable for long-reach InfiniBand and optical networking applications. Quality fibres from established manufacturers and ceramic zirconia ferrules provide reliable insertion and mating performance with up to 1500 mating cycles. Production testing with interferometer and OTDR ensures measured input loss and return loss values are delivered with each unit.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and keep protective caps on until both ends are ready to be mated. Route the 30 m cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre. Plug the SC connectors into matching SC ports on patch panels or transceivers until they click into place. For best results, use the included measurement protocol to verify insertion loss and return loss after installation and document the results.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled with gentle loops and protective caps fitted. For installations requiring the lowest possible return loss, select the appropriate polish (UPC or APC) and confirm compatibility with connected transceivers. Use LSZH jackets where reduced smoke and halogen-free performance is required in confined spaces.
