Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP9231FU0.5MK MDC LC OM4 0.5 m Aqua

The BlueOptics SFP9231FU0.5MK MDC LC OM4 0.5 m Aqua is a 0.5 meter duplex fibre optic patch cord designed for high-speed multimode links. It uses OM4 laser-optimized multimode fibre (50/125 µm) and features an MDC (MPO variant) connector on one end and an LC/UPC duplex connector on the other. The cable is intended for short-reach data links at 850 nm and is suitable for connecting patch panels, optical transceivers and other network equipment. The aqua colour and compact 0.5 m length make it easy to identify and manage in dense data centre or cabling installations.

Advantages

The cable provides low-loss multimode transmission thanks to OM4 fibre optimized for 850 nm operation, enabling reliable short-reach performance. Its duplex MDC-to-LC connector combination supports full-duplex communication and straightforward interconnection between MDC-capable equipment and LC ports. The jacket is flame-retardant LSZH, reducing smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire and improving safety in enclosed environments. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess cable slack in patching areas and helps maintain tidy cable routing.

How to use

Inspect connectors and fibre endfaces before installation to ensure they are clean and undamaged. Align and insert the MDC connector into the corresponding MDC/MPO port and the LC duplex connector into the LC receptacle or transceiver until each connector latches. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer-specified minimum bend radius for multimode fibre during routing. For patching inside racks, use the 0.5 m length to minimize excess slack and secure the cable with cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use appropriate fibre cleaning tools for LC and MDC/MPO endfaces before connecting. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, and store spare cords in a dust-free, dry location. Verify link performance after installation with suitable test equipment when integrating into active networks.
