BlueOptics SFP3132EU50MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m LC SC OM3

The BlueOptics SFP3132EU50MK is a 50 m OM3 multimode fibre optic patch cord with duplex LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors in aqua colour. Designed for 850 nm transmission and optimized for InfiniBand and other high-speed data networks, this cable uses laser-optimized multimode fiber (G50/125 µm) and a flame-retardant LSZH jacket. The assembly is factory-tested for insertion loss and return loss, and supplied with a measurement protocol to document performance.

Advantages

The cable provides low attenuation (approximately 3.5 dB/km) and low insertion loss together with high return loss, supporting reliable full-duplex data transfer. Connectors are built on zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded components from established manufacturers to ensure durability and up to 1,500 mating cycles. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and avoids halogen release in fire conditions, and the product is manufactured to meet common industry standards and Telcordia GR-326-Core.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects and high-speed server-to-switch links
• Data centre patching between transceivers, patch panels and active equipment
• Multimode 850 nm short-range backbone and aggregation links
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

How to use

Route the 50 m patch cord avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress; respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM3 multimode cable. Clean connector endfaces before mating using appropriate fibre cleaning tools to minimise insertion loss and back reflection. Plug the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port on the transceivers, patch panels or equipment, ensuring secure latching. Use strain relief and cable management to prevent tension on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in InfiniBand and short-reach multimode links, use certified OM3-rated transceivers and keep connector endfaces clean. Store the cable coiled without tight loops and avoid exposure to excessive heat or mechanical compression. Request the included test report when documenting link budgets or performing acceptance testing.
