BlueOptics SFP3232BU3MK InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 3 m SC Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP3232BU3MK InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 3 m SC Yellow is a 3-meter duplex SC‑SC fibre patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission. It uses G.657.A1 single‑mode fibre (9 µm core diameter) in a yellow LSZH jacket and supports full duplex communication at common wavelengths for single‑mode systems. The cable is intended for connecting patch panel ports, optical transceivers or other SC port interfaces where a durable, low‑loss connection is required.

Advantages

This SC‑SC duplex cable provides low attenuation and high return loss values suitable for reliable signal transmission over short and medium single‑mode links. The flame‑retardant LSZH jacket reduces smoke and avoids halogen release in case of fire. High‑quality zirconia ferrules and branded fibre ensure consistent performance and durability, while production tests such as interferometer and OTDR measurements verify insertion loss and return loss for each shipped unit.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical transceivers and patch panels with SC ports
• InfiniBand and fiber network interconnects requiring duplex SC connections
• Short to medium single‑mode links at 1310 nm and 1550 nm
• Installations where low smoke and halogen‑free cabling is required

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or debris before insertion and use appropriate dust caps until installation. Align the SC connectors with the corresponding SC ports and insert them until the latch engages; ensure duplex orientation matches transmit/receive pairs on both ends. Avoid tight bends or kinks in the fibre and route the cable with minimal stress, maintaining manufacturer minimum bend radius recommendations. After installation, verify link performance using appropriate optical test equipment and compare measured insertion loss and return loss against the supplied measurement protocol.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; keep connector end faces protected with dust caps when not in use. For best results in critical links, perform OTDR or power meter measurements after installation and consider strain relief or cable management to prevent microbending. Select matching polish (UPC or APC) and connector gender consistent with your transceivers and patch panels.
