BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP-4XSFP-1-BO Fibre Optic Cable 1m MPO 4x LC

The BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP-4XSFP-1-BO Fibre Optic Cable 1m MPO 4x LC is a 1 metre OM3 multimode patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and telecom environments. One end terminates in an MPO connector while the other end breaks out to four LC duplex connectors, enabling full duplex links between MPO-capable equipment and multiple LC transceivers or patch panel ports. The cable uses laser-optimized multimode fiber and a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath for deployment in rack, cabinet and pathway installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required.

Advantages

This MPO to 4x LC assembly supports high-density trunking and breakout applications while maintaining low attenuation and high return loss for reliable signal integrity. Manufactured with branded multimode fiber and precision zirconia ferrules, the cable is designed for consistent mating performance and a long mating cycle life. Each cable is factory-tested with interferometer and OTDR measurements and is supplied with input loss and return loss values to verify performance.

How to use

Route the 1 m MPO–4x LC patch cable between the MPO port of a modular transceiver or MPO trunk and the target LC ports on transceivers or patch panels. Ensure correct MPO orientation and polarity when making connections and keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. For multi-fibre assemblies, confirm that the MPO side aligns with the transceiver or cassette keying to preserve channel mapping.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment and clean connector endfaces prior to each connection. Use this OM3 1 m MPO to 4x LC cable for short-reach multimode links up to the OM3 performance range and select appropriate multimode transceivers for QSFP to SFP breakouts. For installations in enclosed spaces or public buildings, the LSZH sheath reduces hazardous emissions in the event of fire.
