Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 106283-5401-BO MTP 4xLC OM4 1 m Pink

The BlueOptics 106283-5401-BO MTP 4xLC OM4 1 m Pink is a 1 meter multimode fibre optic patch cable designed for high-density network environments. It features an MTP (MPO) connector on one end and four LC duplex connectors on the other, using OM4 laser-optimized 50/125 µm multimode fibre. The cable supports full-duplex transmission and is intended for short-reach high-speed links such as data center interconnects, patch panel connections and transceiver links. The pink outer jacket provides a distinctive color code for easy identification in crowded cabling installations.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable delivers low insertion loss and high return loss values, with typical input loss figures under 0.3 dB for the MTP connector and under 0.2 dB for each LC connector, supporting reliable optical performance. Manufactured with branded multimode fibre and ceramic ferrules, the cable is supplied with a measurement protocol documenting input and return loss. The LSZH flame-retardant jacket reduces halogen and smoke emissions in case of fire, and components are tested with interferometer and OTDR to meet industry quality standards.

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before installation to avoid contamination and elevated loss. Route the cable carefully through cable management and avoid tight bends; adhere to the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Plug the MTP end into the MTP/MPO port or cassette, and insert the matching LC duplex connectors into the LC ports or transceivers. Verify connectivity and optical loss with suitable test equipment and compare results to the supplied measurement protocol.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, keep protective caps on connectors when not in use, and replace caps after testing. For best performance in data centre environments, use colour-coded cabling practices and documented routing to simplify troubleshooting and future changes. If higher link budgets or longer distances are required, evaluate singlemode solutions or different multimode categories according to system requirements.
