Optický kábel MPO BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-OM4-5M-BO 5 m OM4 50 µm

The BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-OM4-5M-BO is a 5 m multimode fibre optic cable with MPO12 connectors, designed for high-density environments and high-speed data transmission. Constructed with OM4 multimode fibre (50 µm core), this cable supports short-range, high-bandwidth applications typical for data centres, server racks and optical patch panels. The 5-metre length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel connections while maintaining signal integrity and stable optical performance.

Advantages

This MPO cable provides compact MPO12 connectivity that simplifies multi-fibre connections and reduces cable bulk in high-density installations. The OM4 fibre type with 50 µm core improves modal bandwidth and supports higher data rates over typical multimode distances compared with lower-grade multimode fibres. The pre-terminated design reduces installation time and risk of connector contamination compared with field-terminated solutions, allowing predictable optical loss and consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Data centre trunking and top-of-rack interconnects
• High-density patch panels and breakout assemblies
• Short-range 10G/25G/40G/100G multimode links (within OM4 distance limits)
• Migration paths from parallel optics to ribbon or MPO-based systems

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode fibre
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MPO12 (both ends pre-terminated)
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Application: multimode short-range, high-bandwidth links

How to use

Route the 5 m MPO cable between MPO-compatible ports on patch panels, transceivers or breakout modules, ensuring proper alignment of keying and polarity of the MPO12 connectors. Before connection, inspect connector endfaces and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to avoid contamination. Insert the connectors until the latch engages and secure any strain relief or cable management to prevent stress on the connectors. For conversions to duplex LC or other formats, use factory-made breakout assemblies or MPO fanouts designed for OM4 fibre.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable following standard fibre-optic practices: avoid tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, protect connectors with dust caps when not in use, and perform insertion loss and continuity testing after installation to confirm link performance.
