Glasvezelstekker LC/SC male BlueOptics SFC3132FK OM4

The BlueOptics SFC3132FK is a male LC-to-SC fibre optic connector designed for OM4 multimode (50/125 µm) fibre links, optimised for around 850 nm operation. It provides a reliable LC-SC simplex connection with a ceramic (zirconia) ferrule and is intended for use in high-speed networking and patching applications where low insertion loss and stable return loss are required.

Advantages

The connector uses branded multimode fibres from established manufacturers and high-quality connector components, delivering low input loss and high return loss. It is qualified for extended temperature ranges (−40 °C to +85 °C), manufactured with an LSZH jacket to reduce smoke and eliminate halogens in case of fire, and is tested with interferometer and OTDR to provide traceable measurement results. A measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss is supplied with each unit.

Suitable for

• OM4 multimode fibre links (50/125 µm) around 850 nm
• Connecting patch cords to patch panels or equipment with LC or SC ports
• Racking and data centre cabling requiring LC–SC simplex adapters

How to use

Inspect connectors and fibre endfaces before use; clean if necessary using appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Insert the LC end into the LC port and the SC end into the SC port or adapter until the connector latches securely. Ensure correct alignment of multimode fibres and avoid excessive bending of the cable. After installation, verify insertion loss and return loss if required using suitable test equipment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use with OM4-rated patch cords and maintain a clean endface. Store connectors with dust caps when not connected, and follow industry-standard handling procedures to preserve the zirconia ferrule and maintain low loss over the connector's lifetime.
