InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 3HE13897AA-7.5-BO 7.5 m MPO 4x LC LC/APC

The BlueOptics 3HE13897AA-7.5-BO is a 7.5 m fibre optic cable designed for high-density networking and data center applications. It combines an MPO multi-fiber connector on one end with four LC connectors on the other end, supporting full duplex transmission. The cable uses G.657.A1 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter, providing low attenuation and compatibility with standard single-mode equipment for reliable high-speed data links.

Advantages

This MPO to 4x LC cable simplifies multi-fiber to multiport connections, reducing cabling complexity in patch panels and pre-terminated trunks. The single-mode G.657.A1 fibre offers improved bend performance compared to older fibre types, enabling installation in confined spaces and structured cabling routes without significant signal loss. With a 7.5 m length and standard LC/APC connector options, the cable supports stable full duplex transmission and easy integration into existing single-mode networks.

Suitable for

• High-speed links in data centers and server rooms
• Connection between MPO trunks and LC-based network equipment
• Telecommunication racks and optical patch panels
• Environments requiring improved bend tolerance and space-saving cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 7.5 m
• Connector configuration: MPO to 4 × LC
• LC connector type: APC
• Fibre type: single-mode G.657.A1
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Transmission: full duplex
• Colour: blue

How to use

Install the MPO end into a compatible multi-fiber port or MPO trunk; connect the four LC/APC connectors to the corresponding LC ports on transceivers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent contamination-related signal loss. Route the cable following standard bend radius guidelines for single-mode fibre and secure it with cable management hardware to avoid tension or sharp bends. Verify full duplex links using appropriate network test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and perform regular inspections with a fibre scope. For installations in tight spaces, take advantage of the G.657.A1 bend-improved characteristics but still maintain recommended minimum bend radii to preserve long-term performance.
