BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP4X10LR-1M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable MTP 4x LC 1m G.657.A1

The BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP4X10LR-1M-BO is a 1 metre InfiniBand/fibre optic patch cable with an MTP multi-fibre connector on one end and four LC duplex connectors on the other. It uses bend-insensitive single-mode G.657.A1 fibre and a flame-retardant LSZH jacket, designed for high-performance optical links in data centres, telecom and server environments. The cable supports low insertion loss and high return loss and is intended for direct interconnection of patch panels, transceivers and high-density optical equipment.

Advantages

This MTP to 4x LC cable provides compact, high-density connectivity while maintaining low attenuation thanks to G.657.A1 single-mode fibre. The LSZH outer jacket reduces halogen emissions and smoke in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed installation spaces. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for consistent optical alignment and longevity, and each cable is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR to document insertion loss and return loss values.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress; observe the minimum bend radius for G.657.A1 fibre. Insert the MTP connector into the MTP/QSFP adapter or module with the correct orientation and lock it in place. Plug the LC duplex connectors into the corresponding LC ports or transceivers, ensuring correct polarity. Keep protective caps on connectors until installation to prevent contamination. If required, verify link performance using the supplied measurement report or perform additional insertion loss testing after installation.

Recommendations

Maintain a bend radius greater than the manufacturer’s minimum (typically specified for G.657.A1) and avoid excessive pulling force. Clean connector endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating and store the cable with protective caps when not in use. For critical links, compare post-installation test results with the factory report to confirm expected performance.
