Fiber Optic Breakout Patch Cable BlueOptics 980-9I72H-00B010 MPO/UPC to 4×Duplex LC/UPC 10 m Multimode OM4 50/125 µm LSZH 3.0 mm magenta 8-core MPO no pins

BlueOptics multimode breakout patch cable 10 m connects an MPO/UPC connector to four duplex LC/UPC connectors, designed for high-density parallel optics and data center trunking. The cable uses OM4 50/125 µm multimode fiber with eight cores and a 3.0 mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket in magenta. The MPO connector is supplied without guide pins and the product includes a test report confirming optical performance. This cable supports short-reach, high-speed multimode links where multiple parallel channels are required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics OM4 fiber provides higher bandwidth and improved modal performance compared with lower-grade multimode types, enabling reliable transmission in 10/40/100 Gpbs applications over short distances. The breakout design simplifies transition from MPO trunk lines to LC duplex connections without additional modules. The LSZH outer jacket reduces toxic fume emission in confined spaces and the compact 3.0 mm construction allows flexible routing in cable ducts and patch cabinets. A supplied test report documents insertion loss and continuity measurements for quality assurance.

Suitable for

• Data center trunking and structured cabling where MPO to LC breakout is required
• Parallel optics deployments for 40G and 100G multimode links
• Patch panels, MPO cassettes and high-density equipment interconnects
• Short-reach multimode links in enterprise and campus networks

How to use

Install the MPO end into an MPO port or MPO cassette designed to accept pinless connectors, then route the cable to the target patch panel or equipment. Plug each duplex LC/UPC pair into the corresponding LC ports or adapter. Confirm connector cleanliness before mating and follow standard fiber handling practices to avoid excessive bending or tension. Verify link performance using appropriate test equipment and the supplied test report for baseline reference.

Usage recommendations

Keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, maintain bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum, avoid tensile loads beyond the cable specification, and store the cable coiled without tight loops. Use the included test report to compare measured insertion loss with expected values after installation.
