Breakout Patch Cable BlueOptics MCA7J60-C005 MPO/UPC to 4x Duplex LC/UPC 5 m Multimode OM4 50/125µm LSZH 3.0 mm 8-core MPO no-pins

BlueOptics MCA7J60-C005 is a 5 m multimode breakout patch cable that connects a single 8-core MPO/UPC trunk to four duplex LC/UPC connectors. Constructed with OM4 50/125 µm multimode fiber and a 3.0 mm LSZH jacket, the cable is designed for short-range high-density links where MPO trunks are broken out to multiple LC ports. The MPO connector is supplied without guide pins and the assembly is delivered with an optical test report documenting loss and continuity measurements.

Advantages

This breakout cable simplifies migration and patching in data centers and server rooms by converting an 8-fiber MPO interface into four duplex LC pairs without additional adapters. The OM4 grade fiber supports higher bandwidth and extended reach for multimode applications compared to lower OM grades. The 3.0 mm LSZH jacket provides a compact, flame-retardant and low-smoke outer sheath suitable for indoor installations and confined spaces. Supplied test documentation helps verify link performance during installation.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connectors and ensure cleanliness before mating. Plug the MPO/UPC connector into the corresponding MPO trunk or cassette, observing correct orientation for fiber polarity. Connect the four duplex LC/UPC pairs to the target equipment or patch panel LC ports. Use the supplied optical test report to confirm link loss and continuity after installation. Avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius during routing to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Clean MPO and LC endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before connection, secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors, and route using proper cable management to avoid exceeding bend radius. Use this breakout cable for short-range OM4 multimode links where MPO trunks must be distributed to multiple LC ports.
