Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP2222BU2MK SC G.657.A1 2 m Orange

The BlueOptics SFP2222BU2MK is a 2-meter single-mode fibre optic patch cord with SC/UPC connectors on both ends and G.657.A1 (E9/125 µm) fibre. Designed for full-duplex links, this cable supports common single-mode wavelengths and is suitable for interconnecting patch panels, transceivers and other optical equipment. The jacket is low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) and the connector ferrules use zirconia ceramic for stable mating performance. Manufacturing includes interferometer and OTDR testing with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss included with each unit.

Advantages

This fibre patch cord offers low attenuation and low insertion loss characteristic of G.657.A1 single-mode fibre, ensuring reliable signal transmission over short to medium distances. SC/UPC terminations provide consistent optical contact and compatibility with equipment using SC ports. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and eliminates halogen emissions in the event of fire, meeting common safety standards. Tested components and manufacturer-grade fibres and connectors improve durability and ensure repeatable performance across mating cycles.

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for contamination before insertion and remove protective caps from the SC connectors. Align the SC connector square housing with the mating adapter or port and push until it clicks to secure the connection. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended by the equipment vendor to prevent increased loss. When disconnecting, press the SC latch and pull straight out without twisting. Store unused ends with their dust caps to keep connectors clean.

Recommendations

For best performance, use in clean indoor environments and avoid routing near high-power electrical equipment. Use proper strain relief and cable management in racks and conduits, and verify link performance with an optical power meter or OTDR after installation. Replace cables if connectors show signs of wear or if measured insertion loss exceeds acceptable margins.
