BlueOptics SFP3132BU0.5MK InfiniBand kuituoptinen kaapeli 0,5 m LC SC

The BlueOptics SFP3132BU0.5MK is a 0.5 m duplex fibre optic patch cord with an LC/UPC connector at one end and an SC/UPC connector at the other. It uses single-mode G.657.A1 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter and a yellow LSZH jacket. The cable is designed for full-duplex transmission of 1310 nm and 1550 nm signals and is suitable for short patching runs in data centres, telecom racks and between optical transceivers and patch panel ports.

Advantages

This LC–SC duplex patch cord offers low attenuation (approximately 0.4 dB/km) and low insertion loss combined with high return loss, providing stable optical performance for single-mode links. The cable uses G.657.A1 bend‑insensitive fibre and a flame‑retardant LSZH jacket to reduce smoke and halogen emissions. Connectors are fitted with zirconia ceramic ferrules and are tested by interferometer and OTDR, with measurement protocols supplied for input loss and return loss.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the 0.5 m LC–SC patch cord between the desired transceiver and patch panel port or between two optical devices, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before mating. Align the LC and SC connectors with the respective ports and insert until a tactile click or secure fit is achieved. Avoid tight bends and excessive tension on the cable; the G.657.A1 fibre provides improved bend performance but should still be handled according to standard fibre handling practices. When removing, pull gently on the connector body rather than the cable jacket.

Recommendations

Store and transport the patch cord in a protective bag or tray to prevent contamination. Clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each connection and verify link performance with suitable optical test equipment where required. For permanent or longer runs consider selecting the appropriate length and connector polish type to optimise insertion and return loss for your system.
