MPO/APC-4xLC Singlemode Patch Cable BlueOptics HE87808GPH-KB005M 5 Meter

The BlueOptics HE87808GPH-KB005M is a 5-meter MPO/APC-4xLC singlemode patch cable engineered for high-density optical networks. Designed for trunking and equipment interconnection in data centers and telecommunications environments, this singlemode cable features an MPO/APC connector on one end and four LC connectors on the other, enabling simultaneous multi-fiber connections with low insertion loss and stable singlemode transmission over 5 m. The construction and connector polish type support consistent optical performance for short intra-rack and inter-rack links.

Advantages

This patch cable provides low signal attenuation and reliable optical return loss characteristics suitable for singlemode links. Its MPO/APC to 4xLC breakout design simplifies consolidation of multi-fiber lines and reduces the number of individual cables required. A 5-meter length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and patch panel-to-equipment connections while maintaining predictable singlemode performance. The cable is compatible with standard singlemode transceivers and patching hardware used in server rooms and telecom closets.

How to use

Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Connect the MPO/APC multi-fiber end to the MPO backbone or cassette port and plug the four LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on transceivers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to minimize insertion loss and reflections. Verify link performance with appropriate optical test equipment after installation to confirm continuity and acceptable loss values.

Recommendations

Use appropriate fiber cleaning tools and dust caps when connectors are not in use. Maintain bend radius recommendations for singlemode fiber and secure the cable to cable management trays or brackets to prevent strain. For best results, match connector keying and polarity with existing MPO infrastructure and follow data center cabling standards when planning deployment.
