Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP2222BU0.5MK SC G.657.A1 0.5m Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP2222BU0.5MK is a 0.5 m single-mode fibre optic patch cord with simplex SC/UPC connectors on both ends and a yellow LSZH jacket. Designed to the G.657.A1 bend-insensitive single-mode specification (E9/125 µm), this SC‑to‑SC cable supports optical transmission at 1310 nm and 1550 nm and is suitable for short interconnections between patch panels, optical transceivers and active networking equipment. The cord is manufactured using branded fibres and ceramic ferrule connectors and is tested with interferometer and OTDR to provide documented insertion and return loss values.

Advantages

The cable offers low attenuation and high return loss consistent with single-mode G.657.A1 performance and typical attenuation around 0.4 dB/km, enabling reliable signal integrity for data centre and telecom links. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket reduces smoke and harmful emissions in case of fire while maintaining flexibility for routing in constrained spaces. High-quality zirconia ceramic ferrules and industry-standard connectors ensure mechanical durability and long mating life, and each unit is supplied with measured loss data for traceable installation.

How to use

Unpack the cord and verify the included measurement protocol against your installation requirements. With equipment powered down if required by your site procedures, align each SC connector to the mating SC adapter or transceiver port and insert until it latches. Route the cord without tight bends, using the inherent bend-insensitive properties of G.657.A1 fibre to negotiate reasonable radii. Avoid contaminating connector endfaces—clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating and recheck loss if necessary after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dust-free environment and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use. For best optical performance, clean connectors before every connection, observe recommended minimum bend radii for fibre cabling, and use the provided test report to verify insertion and return loss during commissioning.
