BlueOptics EMC CBL-MPO12-4LC-OM4-2M Fibre Optic Cable MPO 4x LC 2m

The BlueOptics EMC CBL-MPO12-4LC-OM4-2M Fibre Optic Cable MPO 4x LC 2m is a 2-metre multimode fibre assembly designed for high-density interconnections in data centres and network distribution frames. One end terminates in a multi-fibre MPO connector while the opposite end breaks out to four LC duplex connectors, enabling compact, full-duplex links between MPO trunk lines and equipment with LC ports. The cable uses OM4 graded multimode fibre with a 125 µm core diameter suitable for short- to medium-reach, high-speed transmission.

Advantages

This MPO to 4x LC breakout cable supports reliable high-speed data transfer and simplifies rack-side connectivity by converting a single MPO trunk into multiple LC connections. The OM4 grade ensures lower attenuation and higher bandwidth for applications such as 10G, 40G and certain 100G deployments over multimode links. Its 2 m length keeps pathways neat within racks and reduces excess cable slack while maintaining sufficient reach for typical patching scenarios.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre patching between MPO trunks and LC-equipped switches or transceivers
• Structured cabling in server rooms and telecom racks
• Multimode network links for 10G, 40G and other parallel optical applications
• Fiber patch panels and breakout assemblies where space efficiency is required

Key specifications

• Connector A: MPO multi-fibre connector (12-fibre MPO footprint)
• Connector B: 4 × LC duplex connectors
• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 125 µm
• Cable length: 2 m
• Polishing type: typically UPC/APC depending on variant (verify before use)
• Transmission: full-duplex parallel multimode links

How to use

Route the cable through the rack or cable tray to avoid sharp bends and physical stress on the connectors. Plug the MPO end into the MPO trunk or cassette, ensuring correct keying and orientation, and connect the LC connectors to the corresponding LC ports on switches, transceivers or patch panels. Verify link polarity and perform optical loss or continuity testing after installation to confirm correct alignment and acceptable attenuation.

Recommendations

Handle connectors with protective caps in place until installation to prevent contamination. Maintain bend radii within manufacturer recommendations, clean endfaces before mating with approved fibre cleaning tools, and store unused cables on suitable reels or in patch panels to preserve performance.
