BlueOptics MPO/UPC to 4×Duplex LC/UPC OM4 Multimode Breakout Patch Cable 3.0 m, 50/125 µm, LSZH magenta, MPO without pins, 8 cores (MCA7J70-C003-BO)

BlueOptics MPO/UPC to 4×Duplex LC/UPC OM4 Multimode Breakout Patch Cable, 3.0 m, is a factory-terminated multimode fiber assembly engineered for high-density trunking and parallel optical links. The cable uses OM4 50/125 µm multimode fiber with a 3.0 m LSZH magenta jacket and delivers eight cores via an MPO/UPC connector (without pins) on one end and four duplex LC/UPC terminations on the other. The assembly is supplied with a measurement protocol that documents insertion loss and continuity, enabling straightforward integration into data center and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This breakout patch cable provides a compact, pre-terminated solution that reduces field termination and splicing time. The OM4 50/125 µm fiber supports improved modal bandwidth for higher data rates over multimode links, while the LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire. The MPO to 4×duplex LC configuration simplifies deployment of parallel optics and high-density patching panels, and the supplied measurement protocol ensures traceability of optical performance.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by connecting the MPO/UPC end to an MPO port on a cassette, module, or trunk, ensuring correct orientation and alignment with the keying. Route the breakout leg ends to the target LC ports and plug each duplex LC/UPC connector into the appropriate patch panel or transceiver interface. Avoid tight bends or crushing and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to maintain the minimum bend radius and preserve optical performance. Follow the supplied measurement protocol to verify insertion loss after installation.

Recommendations

Use compatible MPO cassettes or adapters and ensure the MPO interface on equipment accepts a connector without pins. Maintain the recommended bend radius for 3.0 mm multimode cable and keep dust caps on connectors until final connection. For parallel optics, match fiber polarity and lane assignment according to equipment documentation.
