BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m MPO OM4 7Z57A03567-BO

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m MPO OM4 7Z57A03567-BO is a 5‑meter multimode MPO‑to‑MPO patch cable designed for high‑speed data transmission in data centers and network infrastructure. It uses OM4 laser‑optimized multimode fibre to support high bandwidth and reduced attenuation over short to medium distances. The cable is fitted with MPO/UPC connectors on both ends and is intended for linking patch panels, optical transceivers and InfiniBand or high‑density multimode ports.

Advantages

This OM4 MPO‑MPO cable provides low insertion loss and high return loss for stable optical links. The multimode OM4 fibre is laser‑optimized to support higher modal bandwidth and improved performance for 10/40/100 Gbps and InfiniBand applications. The cable is manufactured with zirconia ceramic ferrules and quality connector components to ensure reliable mating cycles and consistent signal transmission. A flame‑retardant LSZH sheath reduces smoke and halogen release in case of fire and is suitable for use in confined or public spaces where low smoke and zero halogen are required.

Suitable for

• High‑density patch panels and fibre trunks in data centers
• Connections between optical transceivers and switches
• InfiniBand clusters and high‑performance computing links
• Short to medium‑reach multimode links requiring OM4 performance

Key specifications

• Cable type: multimode OM4 fibre
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: MPO (multi‑fibre push‑on) with UPC polishing on both ends
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) flame‑retardant jacket
• Typical performance: low attenuation per km and high return loss consistent with OM4 multimode standards
• Connector ferrule: zirconia ceramic for reliable mating cycles

How to use

Route the 5 m MPO‑MPO cable between the devices or patch panel ports to be connected, avoiding tight bends and excessive tension on the jacket. Align the MPO connectors with the adapter or port keying before insertion to ensure correct polarity and full fibre alignment. Use proper dust caps and clean connector endfaces with fibre‑optic cleaning tools before mating to minimize insertion loss. For installations in racks or conduits, secure the cable gently with cable management accessories to avoid stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

Verify polarity and port mapping when deploying MPO trunks in parallel optics environments. Use compatible MPO adapters or harnesses if conversion to LC or duplex interfaces is required, and follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning and mating cycles to preserve performance over time.
