BlueOptics 10327-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 10 m MPO 4x LC

The BlueOptics 10327-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 10m MPO 4x LC is a 10-metre single-mode patch cable designed for high-performance optical links. It uses G.657.A1 fibre and an MPO connector on one end with four LC duplex connectors on the other, enabling multi-channel connections between MPO ports and LC transceivers or patch panels. The cable is intended for data centre and networking environments where low attenuation, reliable mating cycles and industry-compliant construction are required.

Advantages

This 10m MPO to 4x LC cable provides low input loss and high return loss characteristics suitable for InfiniBand and other high-speed optical applications. It is manufactured with laser-optimized G.657.A1 single-mode fibre and high-quality zirconia ceramic ferrules for consistent connector performance and a long mating cycle life. The sheath is LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), reducing toxic gas and smoke emission in case of fire and meeting common safety requirements for indoor installations. Each cable is factory-tested with interferometry and OTDR, and delivered with measured input loss and return loss values.

Suitable for

• Connecting MPO trunk or breakout ports to LC duplex transceivers
• Interconnects between patch panels in data centres and telecom rooms
• InfiniBand and high-speed networking applications requiring multi-channel fibre
• Indoor installations where LSZH sheathing is required

Key specifications

• Length: 10 metres
• Fibre type: Single-mode G.657.A1 (laser-optimized)
• Connectors: MPO (one end) to 4 × LC duplex (other end)
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Tested: Interferometer and OTDR with documented input loss and return loss
• Compliance: Manufactured to common industry standards for single-mode patch cables

How to use

Route the fibre cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress; respect the minimum bend radius specified for G.657.A1 fibre. Insert the MPO connector into the MPO port and secure until latched, then connect each LC duplex connector to the corresponding LC transceiver or patch panel port. When deploying in rack or cabinet environments, use cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. Verify optical performance using appropriate test equipment and compare the delivered input loss and return loss measurements to system requirements.

Recommendations

Handle fibre ends with care and keep connector endfaces clean. Clean connectors with suitable fibre cleaning tools before mating, and store unused ends with dust caps. For permanent installations, document measured loss values and keep the supplied measurement protocol for maintenance and troubleshooting.
