BlueOptics SFP3232BU15MK InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 15 m SC

The BlueOptics SFP3232BU15MK is a 15 m duplex fibre optic patch cord with SC connectors on both ends, designed for InfiniBand and high-speed networking applications. It uses G.657.A1 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter and supports full-duplex transmission at typical telecommunication wavelengths (1310 nm / 1550 nm). The cord is finished in yellow with SC/UPC terminations, a flame-retardant LSZH jacket and is available in standardized lengths for easy installation in racks, patch panels and between optical transceivers.

Advantages

This fibre patch cord offers low attenuation (approximately 0.4 dB/km), low insertion loss and high return loss. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules and branded components to ensure consistent performance and a long mating life. Each cable is tested with interferometry and OTDR, and a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss is supplied with the product. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, matching common industry safety standards.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the 15 m SC–SC duplex cable between the two optical devices or patch panel ports that require a duplex connection. Ensure connectors are clean and undamaged before insertion. Align the SC connectors with the adapter or transceiver receptacle and push until a positive click is felt. Use cable management and strain relief to avoid sharp bends; follow device manufacturer bend-radius recommendations for G.657.A1 fibre. If polishing type matters for your transceivers, verify UPC polish compatibility before installation.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean SC connector endfaces with an appropriate fibre cleaning tool before each connection. Avoid tight bends and protect the cable from mechanical stress. Store the supplied measurement protocol with site documentation to support troubleshooting and guarantee traceability of insertion and return loss values.
