BlueOptics SFP5252FU5MKB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m MPO OM4

The BlueOptics SFP5252FU5MKB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m MPO OM4 is a duplex multi-fibre link designed for high-throughput short-reach connections. With a 5 metre length and OM4 graded-index multimode fibre construction, this MPO-terminated cable supports dense parallel connections commonly used in InfiniBand fabrics and high-performance computing clusters. The specified 125 µm core diameter aligns with multimode fibre standards, providing controlled modal dispersion and compatibility with MPO transceivers and trunking systems.

Advantages

The cable provides high bandwidth density and low insertion loss appropriate for multi-lane InfiniBand links and parallel optics applications. OM4 multimode fibre improves modal bandwidth compared with earlier grades, enabling longer reach or higher data rates within data centre environments. MPO termination ensures quick deployment in structured cabling, while the 5 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack or device-to-patch-panel connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by aligning MPO connectors with the corresponding MPO ports on transceivers, patch panels or modules, ensuring correct keying and polarity orientation. Route the cable following standard data centre cable management practices to avoid excessive bending and stress; maintain the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Verify connection integrity using appropriate optical testing tools or by confirming link status on connected equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, handle the OM4 multimode cable by the connectors and avoid touching fibre endfaces. Use dust caps until final connection and perform endface inspection if signal issues arise. For parallel optics and InfiniBand deployments, maintain consistent polarity and labeling to simplify troubleshooting and future changes.
