Network Cable BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP-4SFP-7 MPO-4xLC Multimode OM4 Patch Cable 7.5 Meter

The BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP-4SFP-7 MPO-4xLC Multimode OM4 Patch Cable 7.5 Meter is a factory-terminated multimode fiber assembly designed to link parallel optics transceivers and high-density patch panels. With an MPO to four LC configuration and OM4 graded fiber, this 7.5 m cable supports high-bandwidth short-reach connections in data centers and network closets where multi-lane QSFP to SFP+ conversions or splits are required. The cable construction focuses on low insertion loss and consistent channel performance to maintain signal integrity across multiple lanes.

Advantages

This multimode OM4 cable provides a compact MPO to 4xLC breakout that reduces cabling complexity and space usage in high-density racks. Its factory-polished terminations and standardized MPO connector ensure consistent optical alignment and low insertion loss. The OM4 fiber rating supports higher modal bandwidth than OM3 for improved performance in 10G, 40G and some parallel optics applications over the specified distance. Durability of the jacket and strain relief design helps preserve optical performance during installation and routine moves.

How to use

Verify connector orientation and alignment on MPO and LC ports before mating to avoid damage to ferrules. Route the cable to minimize tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Connect the MPO end to the multi-fiber transceiver or trunk port and the LC ends to the corresponding LC sockets on SFP or patch panel ports, ensuring transmit and receive lanes match the transceiver pinout. After installation, test the link using appropriate fiber-optic test equipment to confirm insertion loss and continuity.

Recommendations

Handle terminations with clean hands and use fiber cleaning tools before making connections. Store and label the cable to simplify future maintenance and replacement. For reliable performance, avoid repeated mating cycles beyond connector specifications and follow site-specific channel loss budgets when designing links.
