BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-OM4-7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m OM4

The BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-OM4-7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7.5 m multi-mode MPO-to-MPO link engineered for high-speed data transmission in data center and network environments. It uses OM4 laser-optimized 50 µm core fiber to support dense parallel optics and short- to medium-range multimode applications. Both ends are terminated with MPO connectors and the cable is sheathed in flame-retardant LSZH material for reduced smoke and halogen-free behaviour in case of fire.

Advantages

This MPO-MPO OM4 cable offers low attenuation and high return loss, supporting reliable optical performance for InfiniBand and other high-bandwidth interconnects. It is manufactured with branded multimode fiber and high-quality ceramic ferrule connectors to ensure consistent mating durability and minimal insertion loss. The cable is factory-tested with interferometry and OTDR and supplied with measured input loss and return loss values.

Suitable for

• Connecting MPO ports on patch panels in data centers
• Parallel optics links and InfiniBand interconnects
• Interconnecting optical transceivers and high-density trunking
• Short- to medium-range multimode links in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Length: 7.5 meters
• Fiber type: OM4 multimode, 50 µm core diameter
• Connector type: MPO to MPO
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), flame-retardant
• Tested: interferometer and OTDR measurement reports provided
• Conforms to common industrial standards for optical cabling and materials

How to use

Route the MPO-MPO cable between equipment or patch panels, ensuring correct alignment of MPO keying and polarity according to your network topology. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to maintain bend radius and prevent microbends that can increase loss. Connectors should be kept clean and protected until installation; inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces with approved cleaning tools before mating.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in environments that comply with data center best practices: maintain bend radius, avoid sharp edges, and use labeled routing to simplify future maintenance. For optimal performance in parallel optics and InfiniBand links, ensure transceivers and patching follow the same MPO polarity scheme and verify end-to-end loss with appropriate test equipment after installation.
