MPO/UPC to 4x Duplex LC/UPC Breakout Patch Cable BlueOptics MCA7J70-C005-BO, 5 m, OM4 MM 50/125µm, 8‑core, LSZH 3.0 mm, magenta

BlueOptics MCA7J70-C005-BO is a multimode breakout patch cable with an MPO/UPC connector on one end and four duplex LC/UPC connectors on the other. The 5 m cable is built on OM4 50/125 µm multimode fiber with eight cores, enclosed in a 3.0 mm LSZH jacket colored magenta. The assembly is delivered without MPO pins and includes an optical test report, making it suitable for high-density trunk-to-patch connections in data centers and telecom racks.

Advantages

This MPO/UPC to 4× duplex LC/UPC breakout cable provides a compact, factory-terminated solution for breaking out an MPO trunk into individual LC duplex links. OM4 multimode fiber supports higher bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode types, while the LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. The included optical test report documents performance parameters, and the magenta jacket enables easy visual identification of the OM4 fiber type in cable bundles.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable according to standard cable management practices to avoid tight bends and excessive tensile load; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for 3.0 mm multimode cables. Insert the MPO connector into the MPO trunk port and secure it according to the equipment vendor’s guidance. Plug each duplex LC/UPC connector into the corresponding LC ports on patch panels or active devices, paying attention to channel mapping and polarity. Verify link quality using the supplied optical test report and, if required, perform additional insertion loss or continuity tests on site.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, store and handle the cable in a clean environment, avoid contaminating connector endfaces, and clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Use this OM4 breakout cable for short- to medium-reach multimode links (e.g., 10/40/100 GbE) inside racks and between adjacent rack rows; where MPO pinning is required, ensure pins are added by a qualified technician following vendor specifications.
