BlueOptics SFP3232EU15MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m SC

The BlueOptics SFP3232EU15MK is a 15 m duplex fibre optic patch cord with SC-UPC to SC-UPC connectors, designed for InfiniBand and high-speed network links. This multi-mode OM3 (G50/125µm) cable in aqua LSZH jacket supports full-duplex 850 nm transmission with low input loss and optimized attenuation. It is intended for reliable connections between patch panels, transceivers and active networking equipment in data centers and telecommunications environments. Each cable is factory-tested and shipped with a measurement protocol documenting input loss and return loss values.

Advantages

The cable uses laser-optimized multi-mode fiber (OM3) and high-quality ceramic ferrules to ensure low attenuation and stable signal integrity. Its flame-retardant LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and prevents halogen release in case of fire. Connectors and fiber are sourced from established manufacturers and the assembly is tested by interferometer and OTDR to verify performance. The product supports high mating-cycle durability and meets common industry standards for fibre patch cords.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the duplex SC patch cord between the two SC ports to be connected, ensuring the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) channels are correctly aligned on each end. Avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the installer or manufacturer. Secure the cable to racks or cable management panels to prevent strain on connectors. Before installation, verify the measured insertion loss values included with the cable and compare them with system requirements.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or housing and keep protective caps on until final insertion. Use appropriate cable management and strain relief to protect the fibre and maintain required bend radii. For critical links, store the supplied measurement protocol with system documentation and re-test after installation if necessary.
