Network Cable BlueOptics CB-M12-4LC-SMF1M MPO-4xLC Singlemode Patch Cable 1 Meter

The BlueOptics CB-M12-4LC-SMF1M MPO-4xLC Singlemode Patch Cable 1 Meter is a singlemode fiber optic cable engineered for high-density network connections. With MPO to 4xLC termination and a one-meter length, this patch cable is intended for short interconnects in data centers, server rooms and telecommunications racks where low insertion loss and reliable singlemode transmission are required. The cable construction is designed to provide consistent optical performance and mechanical durability for repeated moves, adds and changes.

Advantages

This MPO-4xLC singlemode cable offers compact multi-fiber connectivity that reduces cabling complexity in high-density environments. The one-meter length minimizes excess fiber in rack-to-rack or cassette-to-equipment links while preserving signal integrity. Durable connectors and singlemode fiber reduce attenuation and maintain consistent performance for high-speed links and long-reach equipment interfaces.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnects between MPO trunks and LC-equipped transceivers or patch panels
• High-density fiber installations in data centers and telecommunication rooms
• Short-distance links within equipment racks or between adjacent racks
• Migration paths where MPO breakout to LC ports is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode
• Connector configuration: MPO (multi-fiber) to 4 × LC duplex
• Number of fibers: 4
• Length: 1 meter
• Typical application: data center interconnect, patching to LC transceivers
• Design focus: low insertion loss, high-density breakout

How to use

Install the MPO connector into the corresponding MPO trunk or equipment adapter, ensuring correct key orientation and alignment. Connect the four LC connectors to the designated LC ports on transceivers or patch panels, matching polarity as required by the network design. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive strain; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for singlemode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Verify optical link performance after installation with appropriate test equipment.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to avoid contamination of connector endfaces. Clean connectors before insertion with proper fiber cleaning tools and inspect endfaces with a fiber microscope. Use appropriate cable management to prevent kinking and to preserve minimum bend radius; replace or re-terminate if connectors are damaged or show excessive loss during testing.
