Fibre optic cable BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-4LC-OM3-1M-BO MPO 4x LC/LC 1m

The BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-4LC-OM3-1M-BO is a 1 metre fibre optic cable that converts a single MPO connector to four LC duplex connectors, designed for OM3 multimode installations. With a 50 µm core multimode fibre profile it supports full duplex data transmission and is intended for short-range high-speed links commonly used in data centres and structured cabling systems. The cable is built to provide low insertion loss and consistent optical performance appropriate for enterprise networking and telecom environments.

Advantages

This MPO to 4×LC cable offers compact connectivity for high-density patching panels and equipment, reducing cable clutter while enabling parallel multimode links. The OM3 multimode fibre provides enhanced bandwidth compared with lower graded multimode types, making it suitable for 10G and higher short-range applications where multimode optics are used. The 1 m length makes it convenient for shelf-to-equipment or patch panel-to-transceiver connections in racks where short patch runs are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the MPO end to a compatible MPO trunk or cassette and plug the LC duplex ends into the corresponding LC transceivers or patch ports. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to minimise insertion loss and protect fibre endfaces. Route the cable within cable management panels or trays to avoid sharp bends; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre. Verify link performance with appropriate test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use fibre cleaning tools prior to connection, avoid exceeding the cable's bend radius, and select OM3-compliant transceivers and MPO/TRAY hardware to ensure expected optical performance for 10G/40G multimode links.
