BlueOptics MPO–MPO Multimode OM4 Fiber Trunk Cable 5m LSZH, compatible with Dell (GZLD3CO-BO)

BlueOptics MPO–MPO Multimode OM4 Fiber Trunk Cable 5m LSZH is a pre-terminated multimode fiber trunk designed for short-reach, high-density network environments. The 5-metre trunk uses OM4 graded multimode fibers and MPO connectors at both ends to provide multi‑fiber connectivity suitable for aggregation links and patch-panel trunking. The cable jacket is low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH), reducing toxic gas and smoke emission in case of fire and meeting safety requirements for data center and indoor installations. The product is compatible with Dell MPO ports and intended for applications such as 40G and 100G short-reach links where OM4 fiber performance is required.

Advantages

The trunk cable combines OM4 multimode fiber performance with MPO multi-fiber terminations to enable high-density connections and simplified installation between patch panels or cassette modules. The LSZH outer jacket improves fire-safety characteristics for indoor use and reduces contamination risks during installation. Pre-terminated MPO ends reduce onsite termination time and help ensure consistent optical performance for short-reach links.

Suitable for

• Short-reach data center links and aggregation (40G/100G multimode deployments)
• High-density trunking between patch panels, cassettes, or network enclosures
• Multi-fiber MPO systems requiring OM4 performance for modal bandwidth and reach
• Indoor installations where LSZH jacket is specified for safety or compliance

When it may not be suitable

This multimode MPO–MPO trunk is not intended for long-distance singlemode links or campus builds that require singlemode fiber. It is also not suitable where custom field terminations, individual simplex connectors, or non‑MPO connector types are required. For outdoor burial, direct burial-rated cable or additional environmental protection would be needed.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Connector type: MPO to MPO multi-fiber terminations
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket: Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH)
• Typical applications: Short-reach data center aggregation and trunking

How to use

Route the pre-terminated MPO–MPO trunk between the designated MPO ports on patch panels, cassettes or equipment housings, ensuring bend radius limits are observed to avoid increased loss. Secure the cable with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the MPO connectors. When connecting to equipment, verify MPO keying and orientation to match mating ports and use MPO-compatible adapters or cassettes where required. After installation, perform optical tests such as insertion loss and continuity checks to confirm link performance meets network requirements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the target equipment or patch panels use MPO ports compatible with multimode MPO terminations.
• Confirm OM4 fiber meets the modal bandwidth and reach requirements for your 40G/100G application.
• Ensure a 5 m length fits your rack or tray routing without violating bend radius or adding strain.
• Check whether LSZH sheathing is required by local building codes or data center policies.

Usage recommendations

Handle the MPO connectors by their housing, keep protective caps on until connection, and avoid sharp bends. Use MPO-compatible cleaning tools and inspect connector endfaces before mating. After installation, document port mapping and perform optical loss testing to ensure reliable multimode OM4 MPO links.
