BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-OM4-50M-BO MPO-kuituvalokaapeli OM4 50 m violetti

The BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-OM4-50M-BO MPO OM4 50m Violet is a 50-metre multimode fibre optic patch cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand and data centre interconnects. It features MPO/UPC connectors on both ends and OM4 laser-optimized multimode fibre to support high bandwidth and low attenuation over medium-distance links. The violet outer jacket provides clear colour coding for easy identification and organised cable management in dense network racks and patch panels.

Advantages

This MPO-MPO OM4 cable delivers low insertion loss and high return loss values, tested with interferometer and OTDR and supplied with a measurement protocol for input and return loss. The cable uses laser-optimized multimode fibre for improved bandwidth-distance performance and is manufactured with high-quality zirconia ceramic ferrule connectors for extended mating cycles. A flame-retardant LSZH outer sheath reduces smoke and avoids halogen emissions in case of fire, meeting relevant industry safety norms.

Suitable for

• High-speed InfiniBand links and switch-to-switch connections
• Data centre backbone and rack-to-rack optical patching
• Connections between MPO-capable transceivers and patch panels
• Short- to medium-range multimode optical links requiring OM4 performance

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode OM4, laser-optimized
• Connector type: MPO/UPC to MPO/UPC (12-fibre MPO)
• Length: 50 metres
• Attenuation: low insertion loss per km; high return loss (factory-tested)
• Jacket: LSZH (flame-retardant, low smoke, halogen-free)
• Ferrule material: zirconia ceramic
• Compatibility: MPO-based multimode systems and MPO transceivers

How to use

Inspect both MPO connectors and the cable jacket before installation to ensure there is no visible damage or contamination. Align the MPO connector keying with the adapter or transceiver port and insert the connector straight without forcing. Use MPO-compatible adapters or panels for patching and ensure polarity is correct for your system (check MPO pin mapping). Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius during routing and dressing to prevent microbending losses. After installation, verify link performance with appropriate optical test equipment and compare the results with the supplied measurement protocol.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable on a clean surface and use dust caps on MPO connectors when not connected. For best performance in data centre environments, combine OM4 fibre with compatible OM4 transceivers and maintain bend radii and strain relief. Replace connectors or cables showing contamination or elevated loss values and consult measurement reports if troubleshooting is required.
