Fibre optic cable BlueOptics CBX-STC012BPF-MXXN-MXXN-020M-MTP OM4 20m Turquoise

The BlueOptics CBX-STC012BPF-MXXN-MXXN-020M is a 20 m OM4 multimode fibre optic trunk cable with MTP/UPC connectors on both ends. Designed for InfiniBand and high-speed networking environments, it uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber with 12 cores and Type B polarity to support full-duplex links. The cable comes in a turquoise jacket and features LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheathing for reduced smoke and no halogen release in case of fire. Each cable is factory-tested and supplied with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss.

Advantages

This MTP–MTP OM4 cable provides low attenuation and high return loss for stable optical transmission over short and medium distances. The laser-optimized OM4 fiber supports higher bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared with standard multimode fibers, helping to maintain signal integrity in dense data centre and HPC setups. BlueOptics uses ceramic ferrules and branded components to ensure consistent connector performance and a long mating cycle life. The LSZH jacket and compliance with industrial standards reduce safety and regulatory concerns in enclosed installations.

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the MTP connectors with the MPO/MTP ports on your transceivers or patch panels, observing the Type B polarity orientation. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to minimise insertion loss and risk of damage. Route the cable with appropriate bend radius and secure using cable management hardware to avoid stress on the connectors. For best performance, follow the transceiver and equipment vendor guidelines regarding connector orientation and link mapping when terminating or patching the 12-core trunk.

Recommendations

Clean connectors with approved fibre cleaning tools before installation and perform linkage verification using OTDR or insertion loss measurement equipment if precise optical budget confirmation is required. Avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; store and handle the cable according to standard fibre handling practices to preserve performance and longevity.
