BlueOptics Dell GVQNLZ6 MPO-MPO Multimode-OM4-patchkabel 5 meter

High-density fiber links demand more than just a cable—they need a connection that can keep up with 40G and 100G traffic without introducing errors or downtime. The BlueOptics Dell GVQNLZ6 MPO-MPO OM4 patch cable solves that challenge with a factory-terminated 12-fiber MPO assembly that plugs directly into Dell GVQNLZ6-compatible transceivers and cassettes. No field polishing, no guesswork—just a clean, low-loss optical path ready for immediate deployment.

Who is it for

This cable is built for data center technicians, network engineers, and IT integrators who are installing or upgrading high-speed backbone links in enterprise LANs, SANs, or cloud infrastructure. It is especially valuable in environments where space is tight and every rack unit counts, because one MPO cable replaces six duplex LC connections.

Main features

• MPO (female) to MPO (female) connectors with zirconia ceramic ferrules for precise alignment and repeatable performance.
• OM4 multimode fiber supports 40G and 100G Ethernet up to 150 meters at 850 nm, making it ideal for short-reach data center links.
• Type B polarity (crossed) ensures correct transmit-to-receive mapping in standard MPO channels.
• Low insertion loss of ≤0.35 dB per mated pair and return loss ≥20 dB guarantee signal integrity.
• LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) aqua jacket meets strict fire safety regulations in confined spaces.
• 3.0 mm round cable with a minimum bend radius of 30 mm allows easy routing in high-density patch panels.
• Fully compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.3, IEC 61754-7, and RoHS directives.

Tips

Before ordering, verify the polarity type of your existing MPO trunk cables and cassettes. Type B is the most common for 40G/100G SR4 optics, but mixing with Type A or Type C can cause link failures. Use MPO cleaning tools before every mating to protect the ferrule end faces and maintain low insertion loss over the life of the cable.
