Fibre optic cable BlueOptics AV28-BO 15 m LC/APC OM4 MPO

The BlueOptics AV28-BO 15 m LC/APC OM4 MPO fibre optic cable is designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and enterprise networks. This multimode OM4 fibre cable has a 50 µm core diameter and combines LC/APC termination with MPO connectivity to provide high-density links and low insertion loss for short- to medium-range transmission. The cable length of 15 m supports flexible routing between patch panels, server racks and active equipment while maintaining signal integrity for 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps and higher parallel optical deployments where OM4 performance is required.

Advantages

The cable uses OM4 multimode fibre which offers improved bandwidth and extended reach compared with earlier multimode grades, optimised for multi-lane and parallel optics. LC/APC connectors ensure angled physical contact for reduced back reflection at single-fibre terminations, and the MPO interface provides a compact multi-fibre solution for high-density installations. The 50 µm core supports common multimode transceivers and offers predictable attenuation and modal bandwidth suited to modern data centre architectures.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable through existing cable management and maintain gentle bend radii to avoid microbending losses. Insert the MPO connector into the MPO adapter or cassette, ensuring correct key orientation and alignment. Plug the LC/APC connectors into LC/APC ports or adapter panels, making sure connectors are clean and protected with dust caps until installation. Verify link performance with appropriate optical test equipment after installation and before putting the link into production.

Recommendations

Use fibre cleaning tools before mating connectors, avoid sharp bends or tensile strain, and store unused ends with protective caps. For multimode OM4 links, match transceiver types and maintain proper polarity in MPO to LC breakout configurations to ensure expected performance.
