MPO/APC-4xLC Singlemode Patch Cable BlueOptics HE87808GPH-KB002M 2 Meter

The BlueOptics HE87808GPH-KB002M is a 2 meter MPO/APC-4xLC singlemode patch cable designed for high-density fiber connections in data centers and telecommunications environments. Constructed for singlemode networks, this cable provides precise optical alignment and reduced back reflection thanks to APC polishing, supporting low insertion loss and stable transmission over long distances. Its MPO-to-4xLC configuration allows a single connector interface to break out into four LC fiber terminations, simplifying rack cabling and enabling high-speed links between equipment such as switches, transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable combines an MPO multimode-style connector layout with singlemode APC polishing to reduce return loss and improve signal integrity. Its 2 meter length offers a balance between reach and manageability in rack-mounted setups. The breakout to four LC connectors enables flexible port mapping and easier maintenance when compared to multiple discrete fibers. The BlueOptics construction emphasizes consistent optical performance and physical compatibility with standard LC and MPO ports.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the MPO/APC end to an MPO-compliant cassette, trunk port or transceiver housing, ensuring correct orientation and full insertion until the connector latches. Route the cable to the target patch panel or device and connect the individual LC ends to corresponding LC ports, observing polarity and port mapping conventions. Use gentle bends and secure cable with appropriate management hardware to avoid stress on ferrules and maintain optical performance. Inspect connector endfaces before mating to prevent contamination-related loss.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; always use dust caps when connectors are not in use. For best results in singlemode APC links, follow vendor guidance on polarity and patching schemes, and perform insertion loss testing after installation to verify link performance.
