Fiber breakout patch cable BlueOptics MCA7J70-C015 MPO/UPC to 4× Duplex LC/UPC, 15 m, Multimode 50/125 µm OM4, 3.0 mm LSZH, 8 cores, MPO no-pins

BlueOptics MCA7J70-C015 is a 15 m multimode breakout patch cable designed for short-range high-speed links in data centers and network rooms. The cable terminates in an MPO/UPC connector on one end and four duplex LC/UPC connectors on the other, using 8 cores of branded 50/125 µm OM4 multimode fiber. The 3.0 mm LSZH magenta jacket provides a compact, flame-retardant outer sheath suitable for managed cabling environments. A factory test report is included, and the MPO connector is supplied without pins.

Advantages

The cable delivers high-bandwidth performance appropriate for parallel optics and short-reach multimode applications, benefiting from OM4 fiber characteristics for improved modal bandwidth and reduced insertion loss. The breakout design simplifies connectivity between MPO trunk lines and duplex LC ports without additional adapters, saving rack space and reducing connection steps. The LSZH jacket reduces the risk of hazardous smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire and the 3.0 mm diameter balances flexibility with mechanical protection.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable through cable management paths or trays and secure it to avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for 3.0 mm multimode cables. Connect the MPO/UPC end to the MPO trunk or cassette port and plug the four duplex LC/UPC connectors into the target equipment or patch panel ports. Verify polarity and fiber mapping when connecting parallel optics systems. Use the supplied test report to confirm insertion loss and continuity after installation.

Recommendations

Avoid pulling on the connectors; handle by the connector housings and keep protective caps on unused connectors. Do not attempt to insert MPO pins into the supplied MPO connector. For optimal performance, maintain clean connector endfaces using appropriate fiber cleaning tools and perform post-installation testing following industry standards.
