Καλώδιο οπτικών ινών MPO BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-OM4-20M-BO 20m OM4

The BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-OM4-20M-BO is a 20-meter MPO to MPO fibre optic patch cable designed for high-speed multimode transmission in data centre and network infrastructure environments. Constructed with OM4 laser-optimized multimode fibre and MPO/UPC connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-density connections between patch panels and optical transceivers. The CBL-MPO12-OM4-20M-BO features an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer sheath for reduced smoke and no halogen release in the event of fire and is tested to provide low insertion loss and high return loss for reliable signal integrity.

Advantages

This 20 m OM4 MPO cable delivers improved bandwidth and reduced attenuation for short-reach parallel optics and high-performance networking. Using laser-optimized multimode fibre enables higher modal bandwidth compared with standard multimode types. The MPO/UPC connectors and precision zirconia ferrules ensure stable mating and up to industry-standard mating cycles. Factory testing with interferometer and OTDR provides documented input loss and return loss values to verify performance.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between MPO-equipped patch panels in data centres
• Parallel optics links for 40/100/400 Gigabit applications (short-reach multimode)
• Connection between MPO transceivers and breakout assemblies
• High-density fiber distribution in server rooms and telecom racks

Key specifications

• Length: 20 metres
• Fibre type: OM4 multimode, laser-optimized
• Connector type: MPO/UPC to MPO/UPC (both ends)
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Typical performance: low insertion loss, high return loss (factory-measured)
• Tested with: interferometer and OTDR; meets relevant Telcordia requirements

How to use

Route the BlueOptics MPO-MPO OM4 cable between MPO ports on patch panels or directly between MPO transceivers, taking care to avoid tight bends and excessive tensile stress. Ensure MPO connectors are clean and protected before insertion; use appropriate dust caps when not connected. Align the keyed MPO connectors correctly and insert until the latch engages. For installations involving transceiver breakout, confirm polarity and channel mapping to match the equipment configuration. Keep bend radii within manufacturer recommendations and secure the cable in cable management pathways to prevent movement and strain.

Recommendations

Clean MPO connector endfaces with proper fiber cleaning tools before every connection and verify measured insertion loss when integrating into critical links. Use appropriate MPO fanout assemblies when converting to duplex LC connections and follow multimode fibre best practices for channel polarity and patching to ensure expected performance in 40/100/400 Gb/s parallel links.
