MPO-4xLC Multimode OM3-patchkabel BlueOptics SS-OP-MPO12-4*DLC-M-1 1 meter

The BlueOptics SS-OP-MPO12-4*DLC-M-1 1 Meter is an MPO-4xLC multimode OM3 patch cable designed for short-range, high-bandwidth optical connections. This multimode OM3 fiber assembly provides four LC duplex terminations derived from a single MPO connector, enabling compact trunk-to-patch connectivity in data center or server-rack environments. The 1-meter length and robust jacket construction make the cable suitable for horizontal and vertical cabling runs where signal integrity and low insertion loss are required.

Advantages

This OM3 MPO-4xLC patch cable delivers consistent multimode performance with low insertion loss and return loss characteristics appropriate for 10G and 40G multimode links. The factory-terminated MPO to multiple LC duplex connectors reduces field termination work and supports rapid deployment. The cable’s standardized OM3 optical grading ensures compatibility with common multimode transceivers and active equipment while the compact MPO footprint helps save panel space in high-density installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the MPO end into the MPO trunk or cassette port and connect the individual LC duplex connectors to the corresponding LC ports on switches, transceivers, or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain low insertion loss; use a suitable fiber cleaning tool or wipes. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, observing the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Verify link continuity and optical loss with a compatible test instrument after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep MPO and LC endfaces free of dust and debris, use dust caps when connectors are not engaged, and follow standard fiber handling procedures. Select OM3-compliant transceivers and equipment for predictable multimode link behavior, and maintain documented cable routing for future maintenance and upgrades.
