Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP3131BU0.5MS LC G.657.A1 0.5 m Yellow

BlueOptics SFP3131BU0.5MS is a 0.5 meter duplex fibre optic patch cord in yellow, equipped with LC/UPC to LC/APC (8° angled polish) connectors and laser‑optimized single‑mode G.657.A1 fiber (9/125 µm). The cable features an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket and is designed for reliable connections between patch panels, optical transceivers and other single‑mode network equipment operating at 1310 nm or 1550 nm.

Advantages

The cable offers low attenuation (typical 0.4 dB/km), low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring stable optical transmission. Components use branded fibers and manufacturer connectors with zirconia ceramic ferrules for long lifecycles (up to 1500 mating cycles). Each assembly is tested with interferometer and OTDR and delivered with a measurement protocol for input loss and return loss. The product meets Telcordia GR‑326‑Core and common IEC standards.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the LC/UPC end to the appropriate transceiver or patch panel port and the LC/APC end to the mating LC/APC port, taking care to align connectors and avoid excessive bending of the fibre. Verify link performance using your optical test equipment and consult the supplied measurement protocol to confirm insertion loss and return loss values. Handle connectors by the boot and avoid touching the ferrule; keep protective caps on when not in use.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable following standard fibre handling practices: observe the minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean, and use appropriate strain relief. For critical links, validate performance after installation with OTDR or insertion loss testing.
