Patch Cable BlueOptics GL5X2HC MPO-MPO Multimode OM4 1 Meter Blue

The BlueOptics GL5X2HC MPO-MPO Multimode OM4 1 Meter Blue patch cable is engineered for high-density network environments requiring reliable multimode fiber links. This 1 m cable features MPO connectors on both ends and OM4 graded multimode fiber to support high-speed short-reach applications in data centers, server racks and aggregation panels. The blue jacket provides clear visual identification for structured cabling and easier cable management in rack and patching systems.

Advantages

This MPO-MPO OM4 cable offers low insertion loss and consistent multimode performance for short-distance, high-bandwidth links. The standardized OM4 fiber grade ensures improved modal bandwidth and greater support for 10G/40G/100G applications over multimode runs compared with lower OM grades. The compact MPO connector enables multi-fiber parallel transmission and simplifies deployment in high-density trunking and patching environments.

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the MPO connector key and gently inserting it into the MPO adapter or transceiver port until it seats. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible MPO ports and that the connector orientation matches the intended polarity for your system. Avoid tight bends near the connectors and secure the cable along its route to prevent strain. Verify link integrity and optical loss with appropriate testing equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable following minimum bend radius specifications for multimode fiber and avoid excessive pulling force on the connectors. Use MPO adapters or cassettes designed for OM4 multimode fiber and follow polarity mapping guidelines for parallel optics to ensure correct channel alignment.
