BlueOptics SFP3133BU2MK InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2 m LC ST Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP3133BU2MK InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2 m LC ST Yellow is a 2-meter duplex fibre patch cord designed for high-speed optical links. It combines an LC/UPC duplex connector on one end with an ST/PC connector on the other, uses single-mode G.657.A1 fiber construction with a 9 µm core, and is intended for transmission at 1310 nm and 1550 nm. The cable is jacketed in yellow LSZH material, provides low attenuation and high return loss, and is produced with branded fibers and zirconia ferrules for consistent optical performance.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers low insertion loss and a high return loss suitable for InfiniBand and other high-bandwidth applications. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, making it appropriate for use in enclosed or populated spaces. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules and meet industry mating-cycle expectations for reliable mechanical performance. Each cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR and supplied with a measured attenuation and return loss protocol.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand high-speed data links and cluster interconnects
• Connecting optical transceivers to patch panels or equipment ports
• Single-mode backbone links operating at 1310 nm or 1550 nm

How to use

Inspect connectors and mating ports for dust or damage before installation and, if necessary, clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Plug the LC duplex connector into the LC/UPC port and the ST connector into the corresponding ST/PC port, ensuring proper alignment and secure engagement. Route the cable to avoid tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the LSZH jacketed cable with suitable cable management to prevent strain on connectors. Verify optical link status and measure insertion loss with appropriate test equipment if precise performance validation is required.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, avoid excessive bending or tensile stress, and use dust caps when connectors are not in use. For long-term reliability in critical networks, keep measurement documentation provided with the cable and follow connector cleaning and handling best practices.
