Optische SFP-patchkabel CBO SFP3131GU0.5MK 0,5 m, OM5, 2x LC, multimode

CBO SFP3131GU0.5MK is a 0.5 m multimode optical SFP patch cable with OM5 fiber and dual LC connectors. It is designed for short-range high-speed links between SFP/SFP+ ports and patch panels, offering a compact, low-loss connection suitable for data centre, telecom and enterprise networking environments. The cable’s 0.5 metre length and LC–LC duplex termination make it appropriate for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel interconnects where controlled cable routing and minimal insertion loss are required.

Advantages

The OM5 multimode fibre provides compatibility with existing multimode systems while supporting extended wavelength multiplexing for improved short-range capacity. Dual LC connectors ensure a standardized duplex interface for most SFP and SFP+ transceivers and patch panels. The short 0.5 m length reduces signal attenuation and helps maintain neat cabling inside racks and enclosures. The cable construction is optimised for low insertion loss and reliable mechanical connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one LC duplex plug to the SFP or SFP+ module on your network device and the other LC duplex plug to the corresponding port on the patch panel or remote module. Ensure connector keys and polarity are aligned correctly to maintain transmit/receive orientation. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; keep the bend radius within manufacturer guidelines for multimode fibre. Verify link status and perform an optical power check if required to confirm acceptable insertion loss.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in clean conditions; keep connector end faces free from dust and contaminants. Use dust caps when connectors are not plugged in and clean connector end faces with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating. For best performance in dense rack environments, use cable management to prevent excessive bending and strain.
