Cabo de fibra ótica MPO 4x LC BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-4LC-SMF-10M 10m G.657.A1

The BlueOptics CBL-MPO12-4LC-SMF-10M is a 10 m single-mode fibre optic breakout cable designed for high-density, high-speed network interconnects. One end of the cable uses an MPO multi-fibre connector while the other end splits into four LC connectors, providing a compact solution for connecting MPO trunks to LC-based transceivers and patch panels. The cable is manufactured to comply with G.657.A1 fibre bending performance and uses a 125 µm core dimension suitable for single-mode transmission over access and metropolitan networks.

Advantages

This fibre breakout cable combines MPO multi-fibre connectivity with individual LC terminations to simplify migration and patching in dense cabling environments. The single-mode G.657.A1 fibre minimizes signal loss in tight-bend conditions, improving routing flexibility in cabinets, racks and conduit. The 10 m length offers sufficient reach for typical data centre and telecom room connections while keeping physical routing manageable.

Suitable for

• Connecting MPO trunks to LC transceivers or patch panels
• Data centre fibres where high-density cabling is required
• Access networks and metro links using single-mode fibre
• Situations requiring improved bend performance and constrained routing

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Fibre type: Single-mode (G.657.A1)
• Connector A: MPO multi-fibre connector (12 fibre footprint)
• Connector B: Four LC connectors (single-mode, simplex/duplex depending on use)
• Core/cladding dimension: 125 µm cladding diameter
• Cable design: Breakout/pigtail style for direct LC connections
• Typical application: High-density interconnects in data centres and telecommunication rooms

How to use

Route the cable avoiding sharp bends beyond the specified bend radius for G.657.A1 fibres. Insert the MPO connector into the corresponding MPO port on the trunk or cassette, ensuring proper key orientation and alignment. Connect the LC connectors to the target transceivers or patch panel ports, verifying polarity and channel mapping as required by the installation. Secure the cable to cable management hardware to prevent strain on the terminations and maintain optimal signal performance.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors before installation and clean endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to reduce insertion loss. Use cable managers and bend-radius guides to preserve bend-insensitive properties and label each LC leg to maintain correct channel identification. For long-term reliability, perform insertion loss and continuity tests after installation.
