BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-4LC-OM4-1M-BO InfiniBand optický kábel MPO 4x LC

The BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-4LC-OM4-1M-BO is a 1-meter multimode fibre optic patch cable with an MPO (12-fiber) connector on one end and four LC duplex connectors on the other. Designed for InfiniBand and high-density network environments, it uses OM4 laser-optimized multimode fibre to support high bandwidth and low attenuation over short to medium distances. The cable features LSZH sheathing for reduced smoke and no halogen emissions in case of fire and is intended for interconnecting patch panels, transceivers and high-speed ports in data centres and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This MPO to 4x LC OM4 cable provides compact, high-density connectivity suitable for parallel optics and breakout scenarios. The OM4 fibre type offers improved bandwidth and lower insertion loss compared with lower graded multimode fibres, which supports modern 40/100G and certain high-performance InfiniBand links. BlueOptics uses ceramic ferrules and branded fibre and connector components to maintain consistent optical performance, while factory testing with interferometer and OTDR ensures documented input and return loss values for each cable. The LSZH jacket adds safety for enclosed installations.

How to use

Route the cable through the cable management system to avoid tight bends and secure it using appropriate strain relief. Plug the MPO connector into an MPO port or cassette designed for 12-fibre MPO connections, and insert the LC duplex plugs into the corresponding LC ports or transceiver sockets according to the required polarity and channel mapping. Follow your equipment manufacturer’s guidance for MPO-to-LC breakout numbering and verify end-to-end optical links with a validated test method after installation.

Recommendations

Avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and protect connectors with dust caps until immediately before mating. For optimal performance in InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet environments, keep multimode runs within the recommended OM4 reach for your application and perform attenuation and return loss tests after installation to confirm compliance.
