MPO Patch Cable BlueOptics MPO12-4DLC-SM-10 10 Meter Singlemode

The BlueOptics MPO12-4DLC-SM-10 10 Meter Singlemode patch cable is designed for high-density fiber networks where space and performance matter. This singlemode assembly terminates an MPO12 connector on one end and four LC duplex connectors on the other, enabling efficient fan-out from a multi-fiber trunk to multiple LC ports. With a 10 m length and a construction intended to reduce signal loss, the cable supports long-reach transmission and is suitable for structured cabling in data centers and telecommunications installations.

Advantages

The cable combines a compact MPO12 interface with separate LC duplex terminations to simplify connections between high-density modules and standard LC equipment. Its singlemode fiber minimizes attenuation over longer distances and supports high bandwidth applications. Durable jacketing and precise connector polishing contribute to stable insertion loss and return loss characteristics, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.

How to use

Route the patch cable through cable management pathways to avoid sharp bends and secure it with appropriate fasteners to prevent strain on the connectors. Plug the MPO12 connector into the MPO trunk or cassette port, aligning the keying to ensure correct fiber mapping. Connect the LC duplex ends to the corresponding LC ports on patch panels, transceivers, or active equipment. Verify signal continuity and performance with an optical power meter or certification tester after installation.

Recommendations

Avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and protect connector end faces from dust; use dust caps when connectors are not in use. For critical links, test and document insertion loss and return loss values after installation to confirm compliance with system requirements.
