BlueOptics SFP3232BU50MK InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 50m SC Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP3232BU50MK InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 50m SC Yellow is a 50-meter duplex fibre patch cord with SC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors designed for high-speed InfiniBand and optical networking applications. It uses single-mode G.657.A1 fiber (E9/125 µm) optimized for transmission at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, and comes with a yellow, flame-retardant LSZH jacket. The cable supports full duplex communication and is manufactured with zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded fiber components to ensure stable, low-loss connections.

Advantages

The cable delivers low attenuation (specified around 0.4 dB/km) and low insertion loss with high return loss potential through connector polish options. BlueOptics uses high-quality fibers from established manufacturers and industry-standard connectors to provide consistent performance and up to 1500 mating cycles reliability. Each unit is tested with interferometer and OTDR and shipped with a measurement protocol for input loss and return loss values. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the SC connectors into compatible SC ports on patch panels, optical transceivers or network devices, ensuring correct orientation for duplex communication. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling forces; maintain recommended bend radius for single-mode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Verify connections with appropriate test equipment and reference the supplied measurement protocol to confirm insertion loss and return loss values after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, keep connector endfaces protected with dust caps until installation, and perform endface inspection before mating. For permanent installations, route the cable through designated trays or conduits and avoid tight bends or compressive forces. If specific return loss performance is required, request the appropriate connector polish option and verify with an OTDR or power meter after installation.
