BlueOptics MPO–4xDuplex LC Multimode Patch Cable 1m OM4 G50/125µm LSZH 3.0mm magenta, 8‑core MPO without pins

BlueOptics MPO–4xDuplex LC Multimode Patch Cable 1m OM4 G50/125µm LSZH 3.0mm magenta, 8‑core MPO without pins is a factory-terminated multimode fiber breakout cable designed for short-reach, high-density fiber links. The cable features an 8‑fiber MPO connector (without pins) on one end and four duplex LC/UPC connectors on the other, using OM4 (G50/125 µm) multimode glass in a 3.0 mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) magenta jacket. The assembly is supplied with a measurement protocol verifying insertion loss and return loss to support predictable performance in data center and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact MPO-to-4xLC breakout in a single 1 m assembly, enabling simplified deployment of parallel optics and short-distance multimode links while reducing connector clutter. OM4 fiber offers improved modal bandwidth for higher aggregate data rates on short multimode runs. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions in confined environments, and the pre-tested delivery with measurement protocol ensures traceable performance values for link certification and inventory management.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the MPO end into the MPO port of an MPO trunk, cassette, or module, ensuring proper orientation and alignment for the female MPO (without pins). Route the cable to the destination panel or device and connect the four duplex LC/UPC plugs to the corresponding LC ports. Verify link continuity and loss using the supplied measurement protocol and, if required, perform additional testing with site test equipment to confirm end-to-end performance in the installed environment.

Recommendations

Handle connector endfaces with care and protect them with dust caps when not connected. Avoid tight bends and excessive tensile stress during installation; follow minimum bend radius guidelines for 3.0 mm multimode cable. Use the supplied measurement protocol to record baseline optical loss values and maintain the document with installation records for future troubleshooting and upgrades.
