Fiber optic cable CBO SFP5141BU1MKB Singlemode 1 m G.657.A1

CBO SFP5141BU1MKB Singlemode 1 m G.657.A1 is a 1‑metre singlemode fiber optic patch cable from BlueOptics designed for short interconnects and indoor routing. Compliant with ITU‑T G.657.A1, the cable supports low-bend-loss performance for installations where tight bends or constrained pathways are required. The compact length and singlemode construction make it suitable for connecting SFP transceivers, patch panels and optical equipment inside racks, wall boxes and telecommunications enclosures.

Advantages

The G.657.A1 fiber geometry reduces sensitivity to small bending radii, improving signal stability in dense or confined cable runs. With a 1 metre length it minimizes excess slack and simplifies cable management in patching areas. The singlemode core provides low attenuation and is appropriate for short to medium optical links within LANs and data centre environments. The cable’s connectorization and build quality ensure consistent insertion loss and return loss characteristics for reliable optical connections.

Suitable for

• Patching between SFP/optical transceivers and patch panels
• Indoor rack-to-rack or equipment interconnects
• Connections inside wall boxes, distribution frames and enclosures
• Short singlemode links in LANs and data centre topologies

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode, G.657.A1 bend‑optimized
• Length: 1 metre
• Typical application: indoor patching and equipment connections
• Connector type: industry‑standard SFP-compatible optical connectors (factory polished)
• Operating environment: indoor, sheltered installations

How to use

Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and secure it with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors. Insert the optical connectors into the corresponding transceiver or patch panel ports until a positive stop is felt. Ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating to avoid contamination and excess loss; use a lint‑free wipe or fiber cleaning tool if necessary. For removal, depress any retention latch and withdraw straight to prevent damage to the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep bend radius above the minimum recommended for G.657.A1 fibers when possible, store with dust caps on unused connectors, and perform optical loss testing after installation to verify link integrity.
