Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP2122BU0.5MX LC SC OS2 0.5m Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP2122BU0.5MX LC SC OS2 0.5m Yellow is a single-mode fibre optic patch lead designed for short-distance connections between network devices. With LC and SC terminations and a 0.5 metre length, the cable supports single-mode OS2 transmission with a 9 µm core diameter suitable for high-speed data links and InfiniBand use. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in cabling installations and helps maintain organized runs in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

This fibre cable combines LC and SC connector types to allow flexible interfacing between different transceivers and equipment. The OS2 single-mode design and 9 µm core diameter deliver low attenuation and consistent signal quality for short interconnects. A compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cabling and clutter in server rooms while the bright yellow jacket improves visibility and reduces the risk of accidental disconnection during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP transceivers to SC ports in switches, routers or media converters
• Short patching between rack-mounted devices and patch panels
• InfiniBand or other high-speed single-mode data links requiring OS2 fibre
• Environments where cable identification and tidy cable management are important

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: SC
• Jacket colour: yellow

How to use

Ensure both ends are free of dust before mating by inspecting and, if necessary, cleaning connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Plug the LC connector into the corresponding LC receptacle of the transceiver and the SC connector into the SC port of the target device. Avoid tight bends and kinks along the cable run; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for single-mode fibre. Route the 0.5 m cable to minimise slack and secure it in cable management systems to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Store the cable with protective caps on connectors when not in use, clean connectors before connection, and avoid repeated flexing near terminations. Use this short single-mode patch cord for internal rack patching, direct device interconnects, and situations where clear visual identification is beneficial.
