BlueOptics SFP3132EU7.5MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC SC Aqua

BlueOptics SFP3132EU7.5MK is a 7.5 meter duplex fiber optic patch cord with LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors and laser-optimized multi-mode OM3 fiber (50/125 µm). The cable is Aqua-colored and intended for 850 nm transmission, enabling full-duplex connections between patch panels, optical transceivers and other networking equipment. The jacket is low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) for reduced smoke and no halogen release in case of fire.

Advantages

The OM3 LOMMF fiber provides low attenuation (3.5 dB/km) and high return loss; connector polish options (UPC or 8° APC) allow further optimization of return loss. Branded fibers from manufacturers like Corning, Fujikura or YOFC and precision connectors from Amphenol, Diamond, Nissin Kasei or Reichle & De-Massari with zirconia ceramic ferrules ensure reliable, low-loss transmission and long connector life (up to 1500 mating cycles). Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR and shipped with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss. The product complies with Telcordia GR-326-Core and common IEC and RoHS norms.

How to use

Route the 7.5 m patch cord between the LC and SC ports making sure connectors are clean before mating. Align the duplex LC connector with the appropriate transceiver or panel port and insert until it clicks; insert the duplex SC connector into the mating SC adapter or port until secure. Avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the fiber manufacturer. Store unused connectors with protective caps to prevent contamination.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, inspect and clean connector endfaces before each use, choose UPC or APC polish according to system return loss requirements, and order custom lengths if a non-standard cable length is needed. Keep within specified bend radius and follow data center routing practices to minimize attenuation and mechanical stress.
