MPO-4xLC Multimode OM4 Patch Cable BlueOptics 470-ABOH 5 Meter

The BlueOptics 470-ABOH 5 Meter MPO-4xLC multimode OM4 patch cable is designed for high-density network connections and short-reach high-speed data transmission in data centers and enterprise network rooms. This 5 m fibre assembly terminates with an MPO connector on one end and four LC connectors on the other, supporting multimode OM4 fibre performance characteristics for reduced modal dispersion and optimized bandwidth in 850 nm applications. The cable is suitable for structured cabling systems where reliable link performance and compact connector density are required.

Advantages

The multimode OM4 construction provides improved bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, enabling stable performance for 40G/100G parallel applications over short distances. High-quality MPO and LC terminations ensure consistent mating and reduced insertion loss. The 5 meter length offers a balance between flexibility and minimal excess cabling in rack-to-rack or patch-panel-to-equipment connections. The cable’s color and connector arrangement make identification and deployment straightforward in multi-fibre trunks.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the MPO end into the corresponding MPO port on a trunk or module, ensuring correct orientation and that the key aligns with the port. Connect the LC connectors to the LC ports on the target transceivers or equipment, observing polarity and port labeling. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling force on the fibre cable during installation; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by multimode fibre best practices. Verify link performance with appropriate optical test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination of connector endfaces. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated and perform cleaning procedures before final connection. For reliable 40G/100G operation, confirm that connected transceivers and ports support multimode OM4 and parallel MPO-LC breakout configurations.
