Cabo de patch monomodo MPO/APC-4xLC BlueOptics MPO12-4DLC-SM-1 1 metro

The BlueOptics MPO12-4xLC-SM-1 is a 1‑metre singlemode patch cable that connects an MPO/APC 12‑fibre trunk to four LC duplex ports. Designed for high‑speed data transmission, the cable provides low insertion loss and is intended for structured cabling in data centers, telecom rooms and fiber backbone installations. Its physical design supports reliable mating in MPO/APC systems while maintaining singlemode optical performance over the 1 m length.

Advantages

This singlemode MPO to 4×LC cable combines high port density with straightforward deployment, reducing the number of discrete fiber runs while preserving signal integrity. The MPO/APC connector type and precision-polished LC terminations help minimise back reflections and insertion loss. The 1 metre length is suitable for short interconnects in patching panels or equipment racks, and the cable jacket offers mechanical protection for consistent performance in standard network environments.

How to use

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it within cable management trays or racks to prevent strain. Align and insert the MPO/APC connector into the corresponding MPO trunk or cassette, ensuring correct keying and that the APC polish angle mates with APC ports. Connect the LC duplex ends to the device or patch panel LC ports, observing proper polarity where required. After installation, verify optical continuity and measure insertion loss to confirm links meet system requirements.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by their housings and keep protective dust caps on until final mating. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified for singlemode fiber, avoid excessive pulling force and perform certification tests after installation to ensure link performance. Use the cable for short interconnects within racks and MPO cassette assemblies for best results.
