Fiber patch cable CBO BlueOptics SFP3333BU5MK — 5 m, ST connector, G.657.A1 singlemode

CBO BlueOptics SFP3333BU5MK is a 5 m singlemode fiber patch cable with ST connectors, built on G.657.A1 fiber designed for indoor use. The cable provides point-to-point optical links between network equipment and supports low-bend-loss routing in constrained pathways. Its 5 metre length and ST terminations make it suitable for patching in telecommunications rooms, data center cabinets and campus distribution points where reliable singlemode transmission and compact routing are required.

Advantages

The G.657.A1 fiber core reduces attenuation when routed around tight bends, improving signal integrity in limited spaces. ST connectors offer a bayonet-style coupling that is simple to engage and suitable for many legacy and modern optical devices. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for indoor installations, while singlemode construction ensures long-distance capability and low dispersion for single-wavelength systems.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the patch cable between the desired optical ports, avoiding excessive tensile load and sharp kinks. Align each ST connector with the device receptacle, insert and engage the bayonet coupling until it locks. Ensure transceivers and optical equipment are powered down or have transmitters disabled when connecting if recommended by the device manufacturer. After installation, secure excess cable length to prevent strain and maintain minimum bend radii where applicable.

Recommendations

Use in indoor environments and within cable management systems to maintain the specified bend radius. Inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating to avoid signal loss. Do not expose the cable to direct sunlight or outdoor weather without additional protection.
