MPO/APC-4xLC Singlemode Patch Cable BlueOptics HE87808GPH-KB0010M 10 Meter

The BlueOptics HE87808GPH-KB0010M is a 10 meter MPO/APC-4xLC singlemode patch cable engineered for high-density optical connections. It supports singlemode transmission with angled physical contact (APC) ferrules and an MPO to 4xLC breakout, enabling compact multi-fiber links commonly used in modern data centers and telecom environments. The cable construction and connector polish are designed to minimize insertion loss and back reflection, providing stable performance for long-reach and high-bandwidth applications.

Advantages

This singlemode MPO/APC to 4xLC cable provides low insertion loss and reduced return loss due to APC connectors, which improves signal integrity in sensitive optical networks. The 10 m length offers flexible routing options without excessive slack, and the multi-fiber MPO interface simplifies fiber management in high-density patch panels. The breakout to four LC connectors allows direct connection to standard duplex LC equipment while preserving multi-fiber trunk efficiency.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the MPO end to the multi-fiber trunk or MPO port on a patch panel or transceiver shelf, and route the four LC connectors to the target duplex LC ports on switches, transceivers, or optical equipment. Ensure correct polarity and fiber mapping when installing the breakout to avoid channel mismatches. Avoid sharp bends and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to maintain bend radius and minimize mechanical stress on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, perform visual inspection and, if available, use a fiber inspection microscope to check APC and LC endfaces before connection. Keep connectors capped when not in use, follow manufacturer-recommended bend radius guidelines, and document fiber mapping in the rack or patch panel to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
