Fiber Patch Cable CBO SFP3233FU3MK 3 m OM4, 2x SC to 2x ST, violet

BlueOptics Fiber Patch Cable SFP3233FU3MK is a 3 m multimode OM4 fiber jumper with two SC connectors on one end and two ST connectors on the other, finished in violet. The cable is intended for use in local area networks, data center patching and telecom equipment where short- to medium-range high-speed optical transmission is required. Its OM4 multimode core supports high bandwidth and low attenuation for modal dispersion-sensitive applications.

Advantages

This OM4 fiber patch cord provides stable optical performance with reduced insertion loss and return loss suitable for 10GbE and higher multimode links over short distances. The combination of SC and ST connectors allows flexible interconnection between different types of active and passive equipment without additional adapters. A durable violet jacket assists in easy identification in dense cabling environments and the 3 m length offers enough reach for cabinet-to-cabinet or rack-to-rack connections.

Suitable for

• Patch panels, switches and transceivers in data centers
• LAN backbone and horizontal multimode links
• Telecom equipment interconnections and test setups
• Network closets and server rack patching

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Length: 3 m
• Connector set: 2× SC (one end) to 2× ST (other end)
• Polish/termination: factory-terminated, factory-polished end faces
• Jacket color: violet for easy identification
• Typical applications: short- to medium-range high-speed multimode links

How to use

Before installation, verify that the connector types match the ports on your equipment. Handle the fiber ends by the connector boots and avoid touching the ferrule surfaces; clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Route the 3 m cable through cable managers or trays to avoid tight bends and secure it to prevent strain on terminations. Insert the SC connectors into the corresponding SC ports and the ST connectors into ST ports until they lock or seat properly. After connection, test the link with suitable optical test equipment to confirm insertion loss and continuity.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid bend radii smaller than the manufacturer's minimum; keep connectors capped when not in use and perform regular inspections and cleaning in accordance with standard fiber handling procedures. Use this OM4 cable for multimode links where improved modal bandwidth is required, and pair it with compatible multimode transceivers and patch panels for optimal results.
