BlueOptics 3HE13896AA-1-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 1 m MPO 4x LC

The BlueOptics 3HE13896AA-1-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 m multimode OM4 patch cable with an MPO connector on one end and four LC duplex connectors on the other. Designed for high-bandwidth links in data centres and enterprise networks, this cable supports InfiniBand and other high-speed optical interconnects. The LSZH sheath reduces smoke and halogen emission in the event of fire, while laser-optimized OM4 fibre and precision connectors provide consistent optical performance for short-reach, high-density cabling applications.

Advantages

This MPO to 4x LC cable delivers low attenuation and high return-loss characteristics, ensuring efficient signal transmission and reduced link loss. It is manufactured with branded, laser-optimized multimode fibres and ceramic ferrule connectors to maintain reliable mating cycles and stable performance. The LSZH outer jacket and compliance with common industrial test methods provide safer installation environments and documented measurements of input and return loss for quality assurance.

Suitable for

• High-density patch panels and module interconnects in data centres
• InfiniBand and short-range high-speed server connections
• Connecting MPO trunk cables to LC-based transceivers or patch panels
• Multimode OM4 backbone segments requiring low insertion loss

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Fibre type: Multimode OM4, laser-optimized
• Connector A: MPO (multi-fibre)
• Connector B: 4 × LC duplex
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Designed for high-density, short-reach optical links

How to use

Install the MPO end into compatible MPO ports or patch panel modules and plug the LC duplex connectors into the corresponding LC transceivers or panel ports. Ensure correct polarity and alignment of the MPO and LC connectors before powering network equipment. Handle connectors by their housings and keep endfaces clean using approved fibre-cleaning tools or wipes to maintain measured input and return loss values. Use cable management to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on the connectors and fibre.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify measured insertion loss and return loss using the supplied measurement protocol or perform OTDR/interferometer testing after installation. Maintain bend radii above manufacturer recommendations and use appropriate strain relief and labelled patching to simplify moves, adds and changes.
