MPO-4xLC multimode OM4-patchkabel BlueOptics 470-ABOG 3 meter

The BlueOptics MPO-4xLC Multimode OM4 Patch Cable (3 Meter) is engineered for high-density network environments that require reliable, high-bandwidth optical connections. This 3 m fiber patch cable converts a single MPO connector to four LC duplex connectors using multimode OM4 fiber, enabling efficient trunking and breakout between MPO-enabled switches, patch panels and active equipment. The cable is constructed to maintain signal integrity, low attenuation and consistent performance in data center links and short-reach enterprise networks.

Advantages

This MPO-4xLC multimode OM4 cable provides compact breakout connectivity and supports high data rates over multimode links. The OM4 fiber specification delivers increased modal bandwidth for improved performance with short-reach transceivers. High-quality MPO and LC connectors ensure stable mating, low insertion loss and repeatable connections, while the 3 m cable length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-patch-panel routing. The cable is suitable for structured cabling systems and simplifies migrations to higher density optics.

Key specifications

How to use

Identify the MPO port on the source device or panel and the matching LC ports on the destination transceiver or patch panel. Align and insert the MPO connector into the MPO adapter or device receptacle with correct key orientation to ensure proper fiber alignment. Connect the LC duplex connectors to the corresponding LC ports, ensuring secure latch engagement. Avoid tight bends and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber during routing. Verify link operation and optical power levels after installation using appropriate testing equipment.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent contamination of connector endfaces; use dust caps until final connection. For optimal performance, use compatible multimode transceivers and ensure cleanliness of MPO and LC connectors before mating. Follow data center cable management practices to avoid excessive stress on the fiber and to maintain predictable link performance.
