Network Cable BlueOptics CB-M12-4LC-SMF 5 Meter MPO-4xLC Singlemode

The BlueOptics CB-M12-4LC-SMF 5 Meter MPO-4xLC Singlemode is a 5-metre fiber patch cable engineered for singlemode optical networks. It connects an MPO-4 trunk or cassette to four LC ports, providing a compact, high-density interface for data centre and telecom environments. The cable is intended for long-reach, low-loss signal transmission and supports applications that require precise optical alignment and consistent performance.

Advantages

This singlemode MPO to 4×LC cable delivers low insertion loss and controlled return loss suitable for high-speed links. Its multi-fibre MPO connector reduces rack space and simplifies cabling compared with multiple individual LC runs. The 5-metre length balances flexibility and signal integrity for horizontal and equipment-to-equipment connections. The assembly is manufactured to industry tolerances to provide reliable mating with MPO and LC ports and to maintain consistent optical performance.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the MPO connector into the corresponding MPO port on a cassette, trunk or transceiver cage, ensuring correct keying and orientation. Route the 4 LC ends to the target equipment and plug each LC connector into the respective LC receptacle. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling during installation to maintain fibre performance. Verify end-to-end optical continuity and measure insertion loss with suitable test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable according to standard fibre optic practices: keep dust caps on connectors when not in use, clean connector endfaces before mating, and maintain minimum bend radii to prevent microbending losses. Use the 5-metre MPO-4xLC singlemode assembly for short equipment interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks where controlled optical performance is required.
