Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP2122BU20MM LC SC G.657.A1 20 m Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP2122BU20MM LC–SC fibre optic cable is a 20 meter single-mode patch cable designed for dependable optical connections. It uses G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fibre with a 125 µm cladding diameter and provides an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other. The cable’s yellow jacket and industry-standard terminations make it suitable for data centre links, networking equipment interconnects and InfiniBand environments where low loss and flexible routing are needed.

Advantages

The G.657.A1 fibre construction improves bend tolerance compared with standard single-mode fibres, enabling tighter radii and installation in confined spaces without significant signal degradation. LC and SC connector formats ensure wide device compatibility and quick termination into transceivers or patch panels. The 20 m length offers a balance between reach and manageability for server rack to rack or equipment room links, while the 125 µm cladding maintains stable optical performance for long-term use.

How to use

Unpack the cable and inspect connectors and endfaces for contamination or damage before use. Clean connector endfaces with a suitable fibre cleaning tool if required. Plug the LC connector into the LC port of the transceiver or device and the SC connector into the corresponding SC adapter or port on the patch panel or equipment. Route the cable following standard bend radius recommendations for G.657.A1 fibre to avoid kinks, and secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable optical performance, verify transceiver compatibility with single-mode LC/SC connectors, maintain clean endfaces, and avoid tight bends beyond the manufacturer’s recommended radius. Store the cable coiled loosely and protect connector endcaps when not in use to preserve connector condition and signal quality.
