MPO-4xLC Multimode OM4 Patch Cable BlueOptics 470-ADXS 15 Meter

The BlueOptics 470-ADXS is a 15 meter MPO-4xLC multimode OM4 patch cable engineered for high-density network connections and high-speed data transmission. This cable converts a single MPO connector into four LC duplex connections using OM4 multimode fiber, supporting applications that require increased bandwidth and reliable signal integrity in data centers and enterprise environments. The blue jacket identifies it as a multimode fiber patch cable and the 15 m length provides a balance between rack-to-rack reach and manageable cable routing.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss for consistent signal performance across multiple channels. Its OM4 multimode fiber enables higher modal bandwidth compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, which helps maintain throughput in short- to medium-range links. The MPO to 4xLC breakout design simplifies connection to LC ports while supporting high-density MPO trunk lines. Constructed for typical data center use, it supports reliable mating cycles and stable optical characteristics under normal installation conditions.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and rack-to-rack cabling
• High-density patch panels and MPO trunking systems
• Enterprise network backbone and aggregation layers
• Short- to medium-distance multimode fiber links up to 15 m

Key specifications

• Connector configuration: MPO to 4 × LC duplex
• Cable length: 15 meters
• Color: Blue
• Performance characteristics: Low insertion loss, high return loss
• Application: High-density, high-bandwidth multimode links

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for cleanliness before installation and use suitable fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Plug the MPO end into the MPO trunk or cassette, ensuring correct polarity alignment, then connect the four LC duplex connectors to the corresponding LC ports on the equipment or patch panel. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive stress; adhere to minimum bend radius recommendations for multimode fiber. After installation, verify optical continuity and insertion loss with appropriate test equipment.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in clean, dry conditions and avoid exposure to tensile stress beyond manufacturer guidelines. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, maintain proper bend radius, and validate performance after installation to ensure the low insertion loss and high return loss characteristics are preserved.
