BlueOptics SFP3232FU10MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m SC

The BlueOptics SFP3232FU10MK InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 10 m SC-to-SC duplex patch cord designed for high-speed multimode links. It uses OM4 (G50/125 µm) laser-optimized multimode fibre (LOMMF) in a magenta LSZH jacket, supports full-duplex transmission at 850 nm and is suitable for connecting patch panels, optical transceivers or other short-range network equipment. The cable is manufactured with high-quality ceramic ferrules and branded fibre to ensure stable signal integrity and low attenuation across multimode InfiniBand links.

Advantages

The cable offers low attenuation (typical 2.5 dB/km) and low input loss with high return loss, enabling reliable data transfer for demanding short-reach applications. Its LSZH jacket reduces smoke and avoids halogen emissions in the event of fire, meeting common safety norms. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules and components from established manufacturers for robust mating performance and long service life. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR and supplied with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects in data centres and HPC clusters
• Connections between optical transceivers and patch panels
• Short-range multimode links at 850 nm (network equipment, switches)
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

• Fibre type: OM4 (laser-optimized multimode, 50/125 µm)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (typical for OM4 multimode)
• Attenuation: approx. 2.5 dB/km
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Polish type: UPC (standard) with option for APC where applicable
• Duplex/full-duplex transmission supported

How to use

Route the 10 m OM4 duplex cable between the two devices to be connected, ensuring bend radii are not exceeded and that the LSZH jacket remains intact. Align and insert the SC connectors into the corresponding SC ports on patch panels or transceivers until they click into place. Use the supplied measurement protocol to verify insertion loss and return loss after installation. For best performance keep connectors clean and protected with dust caps when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before insertion and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if contamination is present. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress along the cable run; observe the manufacturer's minimum bend radius. Store and handle the cable to prevent kinks and to maintain optimal optical performance.
