Fibre optic cable BlueOptics MTP-4LC-S3M-BO 4x LC G.657.A1 3 m Green

The BlueOptics MTP-4LC-S3M-BO 3 m fibre optic cable provides a factory-terminated multi-fiber link that converts a single MTP connector to four individual LC connectors. Constructed with G.657.A1 single-mode fibre and a 9 µm core diameter, this 3-metre cable is designed for low bending loss and stable single-mode transmission. The green jacket improves visibility in rack and cable-tray environments while the combination of MTP and LC terminations supports high-density cabling and straightforward connections to transceivers and active equipment.

Advantages

This fibre cable offers low attenuation and high return loss typical for single-mode G.657.A1 fibre, supporting minimal signal degradation across the 3 m length. The MTP termination provides a multi-fiber interface for aggregated links, while the four LC connectors allow straightforward connection to individual ports. The cable's bend-insensitive fibre type reduces performance impact in confined installations and helps maintain link quality where tight routing is required.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable from the MTP-enabled panel or transceiver housing to the target equipment and insert the MTP connector into the matching MTP adapter or cassette, ensuring proper key/keying orientation. Terminate the four LC connectors into the destination devices or patch panel ports, aligning each LC ferrule with the corresponding receptacle. Avoid sharp bends and maintain manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radii during installation to preserve optical performance. Inspect connectors for dust and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before making connections.

Recommendations for use

For reliable long-term performance, use LC dust caps when ports are idle, secure the cable to prevent strain on terminations, and follow data centre cable management practices. When deploying in high-density systems, consider using MTP-to-LC cassettes or managed panels to simplify polarity and fiber mapping for InfiniBand or other multi-fiber applications.
