Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 9380014-10M MPO to 4x LC, 10 m, OM3, aqua

BlueOptics 9380014-10M is a 10 m multimode fibre optic breakout cable with an MPO connector on one end and four LC connectors on the other. It uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 125 µm core diameter and an aqua jacket, designed for short-range, high-speed links in data centre and InfiniBand environments. The cable converts a parallel MPO trunk to four duplex LC terminations, enabling simple trunk-to-patch conversions and flexible patching in dense cabling scenarios.

Advantages

This MPO to 4x LC breakout cable offers compact parallel-to-duplex conversion in a single assembly, reducing the need for separate pigtails or fanout modules. The OM3 rating ensures optimized performance for 10 GbE and 40 GbE short-range multimode applications and supports high-bandwidth environments. A 10 m length provides routing flexibility between racks and equipment while maintaining consistent multimode performance across all four LC outputs.

Suitable for

• Data centre trunk-to-patch conversions and rack interconnects
• InfiniBand and other high-speed short-range multimode links
• Breaking out MPO trunks to individual LC ports on switches and transceivers
• Temporary or permanent connections where space-efficient multimode breakout is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 125 µm
• Connector A: MPO (female/male dependent on assembly; verify before installation)
• Connector B: 4 × LC (duplex)
• Jacket colour: aqua (OM3 standard)
• Application: short-range high-speed multimode links

How to use

Inspect connectors and fibre ends for cleanliness before connecting. Plug the MPO connector into the corresponding MPO trunk or module, ensuring proper key orientation and alignment. Route the 10 m cable to the target equipment and terminate each LC connector into the appropriate LC port or transceiver. Use gentle bends and secure cable management to maintain the minimum bend radius and avoid stress on the fibre. If any connector appears contaminated, clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools prior to mating.

Recommendations

Use this OM3 MPO to 4x LC breakout cable for short-range, high-bandwidth links within racks or between adjacent racks. Verify MPO gender and polarity with your existing trunking to ensure correct channel mapping. Maintain proper cable management and connector cleanliness to preserve signal integrity and reduce insertion loss.
