Network Cable BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP-4SFP-5 MPO-4xLC Multimode OM4 Patch Cable 5 Meter

The BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP-4SFP-5 MPO-4xLC Multimode OM4 Patch Cable 5 Meter is a factory-terminated multimode fiber assembly intended for high-density, high-bandwidth network links. Designed for use in data centers and enterprise network cabinets, this 5 m MPO-to-4xLC cable provides a compact, pre-terminated solution for connecting QSFP-based modules to multiple SFP interfaces or for trunking between MPO ports and LC-terminated equipment. The OM4 multimode fiber construction supports elevated bandwidth over short to medium distances and is suitable for modern 40G/100G migration scenarios where reliable optical performance is required.

Advantages

This multimode OM4 patch cable offers low insertion loss and controlled return loss thanks to factory-polished fiber endfaces, ensuring consistent signal quality across all four LC channels. The MPO connector provides space-saving, high-density connectivity while the 4xLC breakout allows direct connection to standard LC SFP ports without additional fan-out assemblies. A 5 meter length balances flexibility and reduced signal attenuation for typical data center layouts, and the ruggedized jacket and precise terminations minimize the need for onsite fiber preparation or splicing.

How to use

Route the MPO end to the MPO-capable transceiver, patch panel or cassette, and connect the 4xLC ends to the corresponding LC ports on SFP modules or patch panels following the colour and polarity guidelines of your installation. Ensure connectors and ports are clean prior to mating, using appropriate fiber cleaning tools to prevent contamination. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to cable management hardware to maintain minimum bend radius; this preserves optical performance. Verify link integrity with appropriate optical test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use this MPO to 4xLC OM4 cable in structured cabling where pre-terminated, high-density multimode connections are required. Maintain MPO/LC cleanliness, follow polarity standards for parallel optics, and select appropriate transceiver types (QSFP and SFP) compatible with multimode OM4 to ensure expected link speeds and reliability.
