BlueOptics HH5CP InfiniBand-/kuitukaapeli 3 m MPO 4x LC

The BlueOptics HH5CP InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m MPO 4x LC is a 3-metre multimode OM4 cable designed for high-density interconnects in data center and networking environments. It combines an MPO multi-fibre connector on one end with four LC connectors on the other, enabling parallel full-duplex links and aggregation of multiple channels over a single trunk. The cable supports high-speed data transmission and is suitable for short- to medium-range links where low attenuation and consistent modal bandwidth are required.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable offers improved bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, supporting higher data rates and more reliable signal integrity. The MPO to 4x LC configuration simplifies deployment between spine and leaf switches, transceivers and patch panels by converting a multi-fibre trunk into individual duplex LC terminations. The 3 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections while maintaining predictable optical performance.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and top-of-rack to aggregation links
• InfiniBand clusters and high-performance computing cabling
• Connections between MPO trunks and LC-based transceivers or patch panels
• Short- to medium-range multimode networks requiring OM4 performance

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 125 µm
• Connectors: MPO (multi-fibre) to 4 × LC duplex
• Length: 3 m
• Channel type: full duplex
• Application: high-speed data transmission, parallel optics

How to use

Install the MPO end into the corresponding MPO trunk or cassette and plug the four LC connectors into the LC ports of switches, transceivers or patch panels. Ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating to avoid insertion loss and potential damage; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Route the cable along existing cable management paths, avoiding tight bends and physical stress, and secure with Velcro straps or cable ties in line with rack and cabinet standards.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify that connected transceivers and equipment support OM4 multimode fibre and parallel optics. Maintain bend radii above manufacturer-specified limits, keep connector endfaces free of dust, and avoid repeated mating cycles beyond equipment recommendations to preserve insertion loss and return loss characteristics.
