InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP4X10LR-7.5M-BO 7.5m MTP 4xLC G.657.A1

The BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP4X10LR-7.5M-BO is a 7.5 metre single‑mode fibre optic cable with an MTP connector on one end and four LC connectors on the other. It uses G.657.A1 laser‑optimized single‑mode fibre with a 125 µm cladding diameter and an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer sheath. The cable is designed for high‑performance optical links between patch panels, transceivers and high‑density data centre equipment where QSFP to LC connectivity is required.

Advantages

This fibre cable provides low attenuation and high return loss suitable for long‑reach single‑mode links. The G.657.A1 fibre type offers improved bend performance compared with standard single‑mode fibres, reducing signal loss in routed or space‑constrained installations. The LSZH sheath limits halogen release and smoke emission in case of fire, supporting safer deployment in enclosed environments. Connectors and ferrules are manufactured to industry standards to ensure reliable mating cycles and consistent optical performance.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pull‑through stresses; G.657.A1 improves bend tolerance but standard cable handling practices should still be followed. Align and insert the MTP connector into the QSFP adaptor or bulkhead with the correct polarity, then plug the LC duplex connectors into the corresponding LC ports or patch panel adapters. Verify connections using appropriate optical test equipment and compare input loss and return loss against the supplied measurement protocol. Secure the cable in cable management pathways to prevent movement and bending during operation.

Recommendations

Use this cable for single‑mode QSFP to LC applications in data centres and telecom racks where reduced bend sensitivity and an LSZH jacket are required. Inspect connector end‑faces before mating, avoid exceeding recommended bend radii, and store or route cables using cable management accessories to maintain optical performance.
