Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP3131BU0.5MK 0.5 m LC OS2 9 µm

BlueOptics SFP3131BU0.5MK is a 0.5 m LC–LC duplex fibre optic patch cord with laser‑optimized single‑mode OS2/G.657.A1 fiber (9 µm core). The cable is yellow, supports full‑duplex transmission and is intended for connecting patch panels, optical transceivers and other network equipment in data centers and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The cable uses laser‑optimized single‑mode fiber with low attenuation (0.4 dB/km) and high return loss; connectors feature zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded components to ensure reliable, low‑loss transmission. The jacket is flame‑retardant LSZH, reducing smoke and avoiding halogen release in case of fire. Each unit is tested (interferometer and OTDR) and shipped with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss.

How to use

Inspect connectors and ensure dust caps are removed prior to insertion. Align and insert the LC connectors into corresponding LC sockets on patch panels or transceivers until they click into place. For best performance, avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for single‑mode fiber. When disconnecting, press the release on the LC connector and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule or cable.

Recommendations

Store and handle the patch cord in a clean environment to prevent contamination of connector endfaces. For critical links, verify insertion loss and return loss during installation and consider ordering custom lengths to reduce excess slack and minimize bend stress.
