Cavo in fibra ottica BlueOptics 3HE13896AA-10-BO 10 m MPO/UPC 4x LC

The BlueOptics 3HE13896AA-10-BO 10 m MPO/UPC 4x LC fibre optic cable is a multi-fiber trunk cable engineered for high-density network environments. It combines an MPO/UPC multi-fiber connector on one end with four LC connectors on the other, enabling parallel transmission to multiple ports or transceivers. Constructed with OM4 graded multimode fibre, this 10 metre link supports high-bandwidth applications and short- to medium-reach data connections commonly found in data centres, server rooms and structured cabling systems.

Advantages

This cable offers compact connectivity with a single MPO interface splitting into four LC terminations, reducing patching complexity and saving rack space. The OM4 multimode fibre provides increased modal bandwidth for higher data rates and extended reach compared with lower OM grades. MPO and LC connectors with UPC polish ensure stable, low-loss connections suitable for dense wavelength and parallel optics setups. The 10 m length gives flexible routing options between racks and equipment without extra splices.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre patching and trunking
• Parallel optics links for 40G/100G connections using MPO to multiple LC transceivers
• Interconnecting patch panels, switches and server NICs in campus networks
• Structured multimode fibre installations requiring OM4 performance

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Fibre type: OM4 multimode fibre
• Connector 1: MPO with UPC polish (multi-fiber)
• Connector 2: 4 × LC with UPC polish
• Polish type: UPC (ultra physical contact)
• Usage: Multi-fibre trunk to LC breakout for short- to medium-reach high-bandwidth links

How to use

Route the 10 m MPO-to-4xLC cable through the cable management system to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Plug the MPO connector into the MPO port on a cassette, patch panel or transceiver designed for multi-fibre MPO interfaces. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC ports on switches, servers or media converters. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to minimise insertion loss. Secure excess cable and maintain bend radii according to manufacturer recommendations to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connector end-faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each connection. Use this OM4 cable for short- to medium-distance, high-bandwidth links such as parallel optics for 40G/100G; avoid using it in singlemode applications. Store and deploy the cable in controlled environments, protect MPO ends with protective caps when not connected, and follow rack management best practices to prevent sharp bends and mechanical strain.
