BlueOptics SFP3232EU10MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m SC Aqua

The BlueOptics SFP3232EU10MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 10 m SC–SC duplex patch cord designed for multimode OM3 networks. It uses laser-optimized multimode fiber (G50/125 µm) in an aqua LSZH jacket and is intended for 850 nm transmission. The cable features SC-UPC connectors with ceramic (zirconia) ferrules, a 2.0 mm tube, and is supplied with a measurement protocol documenting input loss and return loss values.

Advantages

This OM3 duplex patch cord provides low attenuation (approx. 3.5 dB/km) and low input loss (under 0.2 dB) for reliable, high-speed data transfer. Connectors use branded components and zirconia ceramic ferrules for long service life and up to 1500 mating cycles. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen release in the event of fire and the product is tested with interferometer and OTDR to ensure consistent optical performance. A measurement protocol is included with each unit.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the 10 m SC–SC duplex cable between the required transceivers, switches or patch panel ports, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Align the SC connectors and insert until a positive click is felt; repeat for the second fiber. Use the included measurement protocol to verify attenuation and return loss values if required by site documentation. Avoid tight bends, excessive pulling forces, and installation near strong electromagnetic sources to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Keep SC end faces covered with protective caps until installation and clean end faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Follow bend radius guidelines (avoid bends tighter than the manufacturer’s minimum radius) and store spare cable loops without sharp kinks. For permanent cabling or custom lengths, consult site planning to ensure OM3 multimode fiber meets system requirements.
