BlueOptics CBL-MTP12-4LC-OM3-7M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7.5 m LC/APC

The BlueOptics CBL-MTP12-4LC-OM3-7M-BO is a 7.5 m multimode fibre optic cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in network and data centre environments. It combines an MTP12-style multi-fibre connector with four LC duplex terminations to deliver full-duplex links over OM3 fibre with a 50 µm core diameter. Intended for short- to medium-reach connections, this cable supports dense parallel optics and consolidated cabling schemes commonly used in InfiniBand and similar high-performance interconnects.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable provides predictable optical performance across 50 µm fibre for high-bandwidth lanes and supports parallel channel configurations via the MTP connector. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and installed equipment connections without excessive slack. LC terminations with APC polish ensure low insertion loss and stable duplex links, while the MTP interface enables efficient aggregation of multiple channels into a single compact cable assembly.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects and high-performance computing clusters
• Data centre spine-to-leaf and top-of-rack cabling
• Switch-to-transceiver parallel optical links
• Server and storage array connections requiring multimode OM3 fibre

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connectors: MTP12 to 4 × LC duplex (APC)
• Cable length: 7.5 metres
• Polish type: APC on LC terminations
• Mode: full duplex, parallel channel support

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before installation. Route the cable along cable management paths avoiding tight bends and excessive tensile load; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM3 multimode cable. Insert the MTP connector into the corresponding MTP housing and secure the LC duplex connectors into the transceiver or patch panel ports ensuring correct polarity and seating. Verify link status and optical loss with suitable testing equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short- to medium-reach, high-bandwidth links within racks or between adjacent racks. For reliable performance, keep connectors clean, avoid bending beyond the recommended radius, and perform insertion loss and continuity tests when integrating into InfiniBand or parallel optic systems.
