Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 106283-7003-BO MTP 4xLC OM4 3 m Beige

The BlueOptics 106283-7003-BO MTP 4xLC OM4 3 m Beige is a 3-metre multimode fibre optic patch cable designed for high-density, high-speed network links. It combines an MTP multi-fibre connector on one end with four LC duplex connectors on the other, uses laser-optimized OM4 fibre with a 50 µm core diameter, and is intended for full-duplex data transmission in InfiniBand and other short-reach optical systems. The beige outer jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for mixed-colour cabling environments.

Advantages

This cable offers compact high-fibre-count termination with an MTP connector and the flexibility of four LC duplex terminations for direct connection to transceivers and patch panels. OM4 multimode fibre and a 50 µm core diameter support higher bandwidth and improved modal dispersion performance compared with lower-grade multimode types, enabling reliable short-range high-speed links. The LSZH-like flame-retardant jacket improves safety in confined spaces and the 3 m length is suitable for patching within racks and between adjacent equipment.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and rack-to-rack connections
• InfiniBand and high-speed server interconnects
• Connecting MTP backbone trunks to LC-based transceivers or patch panels
• Short-reach multimode links within telecom rooms and equipment cabinets

How to use

Install the MTP connector into the corresponding multi-fibre MTP port or adapter on trunk panels or modules, ensuring correct polarity and alignment of the key. Plug the individual LC duplex connectors into LC transceiver ports or patch panel adapters, observing standard duplex orientation for transmit and receive channels. Route the cable within cable managers or trays to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Verify connections and run optical tests (insertion loss, return loss) after installation to confirm link performance.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the housing, keep endfaces clean and protected with dust caps when not in use, and use an appropriate fibre cleaning tool before mating. For best results in data centre environments, pair this OM4 MTP‑to‑4xLC cable with compatible MTP adapters and LC transceivers rated for multimode operation and follow manufacturer's polarity guidelines for parallel optics links.
