MPO-MPO OM4 Patch Cable BlueOptics 7Z57A03572 30 Meter Violet

The BlueOptics 7Z57A03572 is a 30-meter MPO‑to‑MPO OM4 patch cable in violet designed for high-density and high-speed fiber optic links. Constructed with laser-optimized multimode OM4 fiber and MPO/UPC connectors on both ends, this cable supports 40G and 100G Ethernet applications and is intended for connections between switches, routers, servers and patch panels in data center and enterprise networks. The cable features an LSZH flame-retardant sheath for reduced smoke and no halogen release in case of fire and is tested for input loss and return loss to meet industry quality standards.

Advantages

This MPO‑MPO OM4 cable offers low attenuation and high return loss performance suitable for short‑reach multi‑mode links. Components such as branded multimode fiber and precision zirconia ferrules provide consistent optical performance and mechanical durability, rated for high mating cycles. The LSZH outer jacket reduces hazardous emissions and the product undergoes interferometer and OTDR testing with supplied measurement protocols, ensuring traceable optical parameters and compliance with relevant telecommunications requirements.

Suitable for

• 40G/100G Ethernet spine and leaf topologies
• Interconnects between MPO patch panels and cassette modules
• Short‑reach multimode links in data centers and server rooms
• Connections between network switches, routers and optical transceivers

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 laser‑optimized multimode fiber
• Connector type: MPO/UPC to MPO/UPC on both ends
• Length: 30 meters
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Color: Violet (OM4 identification)
• Tested parameters: input loss and return loss with measurement protocol
• Manufacturing tests: interferometer and OTDR verification

How to use

Route the cable through cable management paths or trays avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile force. Align the MPO connectors with the equipment MPO ports or cassette connectors and insert until the latch engages; do not force the connector if resistance is felt. For installation, observe minimum bend radius specifications for multimode fiber and secure the cable to trays or racks to prevent strain. Use the supplied test report to verify link loss against your network design budget after installation and repeat testing after any re‑termination or major moves.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment, keep connector endfaces protected by dust caps until final connection, and clean endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. For optimal performance in 40G/100G links, match OM4 cabling with compatible multimode transceivers and maintain connector cleanliness to minimize insertion loss and return loss.
