BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP4X10LR-3M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable MTP 4x LC 3m

The BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP4X10LR-3M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable MTP 4x LC 3m is a 3-metre single-mode patch cable designed for high-quality optical connections. It features an MTP multi-fibre connector on one end and four LC duplex connectors on the other, using G.657.A1 laser-optimized single-mode fibre with a 125 µm core diameter and an LSZH outer jacket. The cable is intended for linking patch panels, transceivers and other optical ports in data centres and networking equipment while providing low attenuation and stable performance.

Advantages

The cable combines an MTP to 4x LC topology that enables consolidation of multiple channels into a single MPO-style connector while keeping individual LC terminations for transceiver connections. Use of G.657.A1 single-mode fibre ensures good bend performance and compatibility with common single-mode systems. The LSZH jacket reduces halogen emission and smoke in case of fire, and production testing with interferometer and OTDR verifies input loss and return loss for reliable operation.

How to use

Install the cable by plugging the MTP connector into the corresponding MTP/MPO port on a patch panel or cassette and connect the four LC connectors to the target LC transceiver ports. Ensure proper keying and polarity when mating connectors and avoid sharp bends near connector boots; G.657.A1 fibre tolerates tighter bends but standard cable handling practices should be observed. Check the included factory test report for insertion loss and return loss values after installation to confirm link performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable in cable management trays or patch panels to prevent strain and maintain bend radii. Use dust caps on unused connectors and verify polarity mapping between MTP and the 4x LC outputs when integrating with transceivers or break-out cassettes.
