Fibre optic cable BlueOptics CAB-SMF-SC-SC-50 50 m G.657.A1 SC SC

The BlueOptics CAB-SMF-SC-SC-50 is a 50 m single-mode fibre optic cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission. Using G.657.A1 compliant fibre, this cable combines bend-insensitive performance with standard single-mode characteristics, and is fitted with SC connectors on both ends for straightforward connection to switches, patch panels and media converters. With a 125 µm cladding diameter and a 9 µm core (single-mode) optical profile, the cable is suitable for indoor cabling runs where consistent signal quality and low attenuation are required.

Advantages

This SC–SC fibre cable offers stable signal transmission and low insertion loss suitable for point-to-point links. The G.657.A1 fibre specification provides improved bend tolerance compared with legacy single-mode fibres, reducing macro-bend related attenuation in confined routing scenarios. The fixed-length 50 m assembly simplifies planning for mid-length links between racks or rooms and reduces the need for splicing or active repeaters. SC connectors provide a robust, easy-to-use push-pull interface compatible with a wide range of networking and telecommunication equipment.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between network racks and optical patch panels
• Indoor backbone runs in data centres and server rooms
• Connection to transceivers, media converters and optical switches with SC ports
• Fiber links in office or campus environments with constrained cable routing

• Cladding diameter: 125 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC, duplex/simplex as applicable
• Typical application: indoor data and telecommunication cabling
• Optical profile: single-mode core suitable for long-distance and high-bandwidth links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 50 m SC–SC cable by routing it along existing cable trays or designated cable pathways, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Terminate each end into the corresponding SC receptacles on patch panels, transceivers or optical devices, ensuring a clean connector end-face and correct polarity for duplex connections. If necessary, secure the cable with appropriate cable ties or management clips at regular intervals to prevent strain and maintain bend radius. Perform standard optical loss testing or continuity verification after installation to confirm link integrity.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dust-free environment; clean connector end-faces before mating using lint-free wipes and approved cleaning solution. Maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for G.657.A1 fibre to preserve low attenuation. For permanent installations, label each end for easy identification and document the link in your network topology records.
