BlueOptics 7Z57A03575-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m MPO 4xLC

The BlueOptics 7Z57A03575-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m MPO to 4xLC duplex assembly built on OM4 multimode fiber. Designed for high‑density data centre and networking environments, this cable provides a compact MPO interface at one end and four LC duplex connectors at the other, enabling parallel optical links and direct connection to LC transceivers or patch panel ports. The cable uses laser‑optimized OM4 fiber and a low‑smoke, zero‑halogen (LSZH) sheath to meet common site safety requirements.

Advantages

This 5 m MPO–4xLC cable offers low attenuation and high return‑loss performance suitable for short‑reach InfiniBand and Ethernet connections in server rooms and patching fields. Components conform to industry quality: laser‑optimized OM4 fiber for higher modal bandwidth, precision ferrules for reliable mating cycles, and tested assemblies with input loss and return loss measurements provided. The LSZH jacket reduces halogen emission and smoke in case of fire, and the compact MPO connector saves rack and panel space compared with multiple individual connectors.

Suitable for

• Parallel multimode InfiniBand links and high‑speed short‑reach interconnects
• Connecting MPO ports on patch panels or breakout modules to LC transceivers
• Data centre patching, spine‑leaf cabling and short multimode fiber runs between racks
• Environments requiring low‑smoke, zero‑halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Fiber type: OM4 multimode, laser‑optimized
• Connector A: MPO (multi‑fiber push‑on)
• Connector B: 4 × LC duplex (LC/UPC style duplex connections)
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Application: Short‑reach multimode parallel links, InfiniBand and Ethernet breakout

How to use

Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM4 multimode fiber. Plug the MPO end into the multi‑fiber MPO port or cassette, ensuring the connector key orientation matches the port. Connect the four LC duplex connectors to the corresponding LC transceiver ports or patch panel ports. Secure the cable along its run with appropriate ties or cable management to avoid strain on the connectors. Verify optical links using the supplied input loss and return loss measurements or appropriate test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use this MPO to 4xLC OM4 assembly for short‑reach, high‑density cabling in data centres and server rooms. Avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius, keep connector endfaces clean, and perform end‑to‑end insertion loss verification after installation to ensure expected performance.
