BlueOptics fiber breakout cable MTP to 4×LC OM3, 10 m

BlueOptics fiber breakout cable MTP to 4×LC OM3, 10 m is a multimode breakout patch cable that converts a single MTP/MPO trunk into four LC connectors over OM3 fiber. With a 10 meter length, this cable provides a practical reach for interconnections in racks, patch panels and between switches in data center and enterprise network environments. The OM3 multimode grade supports elevated bandwidth for short-reach multimode links and is compatible with transceivers and equipment designed for MPO/MTP and LC terminations.

Advantages

This BlueOptics MTP to 4×LC OM3 cable offers a compact, space-saving solution for breaking out high-density MPO trunks to multiple LC ports without additional adapters. The OM3 multimode fiber enables reliable transmission for short-range applications while the MTP connector ensures consistent alignment and low insertion loss. The 10 m length reduces the need for excessive cable management in medium-sized data center aisles and cross-connects.

Suitable for

• Data center trunking and rack-to-rack links
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames
• Connecting MPO/MTP-equipped transceivers to multiple LC ports on switches or servers
• Multimode short-reach applications requiring OM3 performance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 multimode
• Configuration: 1×MTP to 4×LC breakout
• Connector on trunk: MTP/MPO (male or female depends on variant)
• Connector on legs: LC duplex connectors
• Length: 10 meters
• Typical use: multimode short-reach data links

How to use

Install the MTP connector into the MPO/MTP trunk port on your patch panel or cassette, ensuring correct polarity and orientation. Route the 10 m cable to the destination panel or switch and plug each LC duplex leg into the corresponding LC ports. Verify link polarity and test attenuation with appropriate fiber test instruments before placing the link into production. Use standard cable management to secure the cable and avoid tight bends that exceed the fiber bend radius.

Recommendations

To maintain performance, handle the OM3 multimode fibers carefully: observe correct polarity, avoid excessive bending or tension, and keep connectors clean. Match the MTP gender and pinning to your existing infrastructure and use MPO cassettes or adapters where needed to simplify installation and testing.
