BlueOptics 470-ABGG InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m MTP 4x LC

The BlueOptics 470-ABGG InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m MTP 4x LC is a factory-terminated multimode/graded single-mode link designed for high-density, high-speed networking environments. Equipped with an MTP connector on one end and four LC connectors on the other, this 5-metre cable supports full duplex data transmission using G.657.A1 fibre with a 125 µm core diameter. It is intended for short- to medium-reach interconnections where reliable optical performance and compact connector density are required.

Advantages

This fibre cable combines MTP-to-LC breakout convenience with a G.657.A1 fibre profile, providing optimized bend performance and stable signal transmission. The 5 m length offers flexible placement options in racks and patch panels while maintaining manageable insertion loss. The use of standard LC terminations ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment, and the MTP interface delivers high-density connectivity for InfiniBand systems and optical multiplexing solutions.

Suitable for

• Data centre backbone and cross-connects
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Patch panels and optical distribution frames
• Switch-to-transceiver or cassette-to-rack interconnections

Key specifications

• Connector types: MTP (multi-fiber) to 4x LC duplex
• Fibre type: G.657.A1
• Core diameter: 125 µm
• Length: 5 m
• Transmission: full duplex
• Application: InfiniBand and high-density optical networks

How to use

Connect the MTP end to an MTP-capable port, cassette or transceiver module and route the four LC connectors to the corresponding LC ports on switches, transceivers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before mating and avoid tight bends that exceed the fibre's minimum bend radius. Secure the cable to cable management accessories in racks or trays to prevent strain on terminations and to maintain consistent optical performance.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before installation, avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer bend radius guidelines, and use labelled routing for each LC channel to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
