BlueOptics SFP5252FU0.5MKB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m MPO

The BlueOptics SFP5252FU0.5MKB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m MPO is a short-length multimode OM4 patch cable designed for high-density, high-performance networking environments. It provides reliable, low-latency connectivity between InfiniBand devices and optical transceivers using MPO connectors, with a compact 0.5 m length suitable for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in data centres and HPC clusters.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable supports high-speed data transmission and offers low insertion loss and return loss typical of MPO multimode assemblies. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and signal attenuation for short-reach links, while the MPO connector system enables multi-channel parallel transmission and easy deployment in high-density patching panels. The cable's construction provides stable optical performance and consistent channel alignment for InfiniBand links.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one MPO connector end to the MPO port of an InfiniBand transceiver or switch and the other end to the corresponding MPO port on the paired device or patch panel. Ensure proper orientation and alignment of the MPO key and that both ends are clean before mating to avoid contamination-related signal loss. Use the 0.5 m length where short, direct optical links are required to maintain minimal routing and reduce attenuation and bending losses.

Recommendations

Before installation, inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; follow minimum bend radius guidelines for multimode OM4 fibre. Use appropriate strain relief and secure the cable within racks or trays to prevent movement. For interoperability, verify that connected equipment supports MPO multimode interfaces and InfiniBand link specifications.
