MPO/APC-4xLC Singlemode Patch Cable BlueOptics HE87808GPH-KB001M 1 Meter

The BlueOptics HE87808GPH-KB001M MPO/APC-4xLC Singlemode Patch Cable in 1 meter length is designed for high-density optical networks where space and signal integrity are critical. This singlemode fiber jumper connects an MPO/APC multifiber interface to four LC single-fiber interfaces, providing reliable transmission for long-reach links. The cable's construction focuses on low insertion loss and return loss consistent with APC polished connectors, supporting stable performance in data center and telecommunications infrastructures.

Advantages

The cable provides low signal attenuation and consistent optical performance due to singlemode fiber and APC terminations. Its MPO to 4xLC breakout design simplifies connections between high-density trunk lines and individual LC ports, reducing the need for additional adaptors. The 1 m length offers a compact solution for patching within racks and cabinets, while the robust jacket and strain relief provide mechanical protection and long service life in rack-mounted and conduit installations.

Suitable for

• Data center fiber backbone connections
• Telecommunications central offices and exchanges
• High-density patch panels and breakout panels
• Optical equipment interconnects requiring MPO to LC conversion

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode
• Connector A: MPO APC multifiber connector
• Connector B: 4 × LC single-fiber connectors
• Polish type: APC on MPO to minimize back reflection
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: Blue
• Jacket: Robust outer jacket with strain relief for patching environments

How to use

Install the MPO/APC end into the corresponding MPO trunk or cassette port, ensuring correct key orientation and that the connector is clean before mating. Route the 4xLC ends to the target LC ports, inserting each LC connector into its adapter or equipment port until the latch engages. Avoid sharp bends and maintain appropriate bend radius for singlemode fiber during routing. Periodically inspect and clean connector endfaces to preserve low insertion loss and return loss.

Usage recommendations

Use dust caps when connectors are not mated, perform endface cleaning with approved fiber cleaning tools, and keep cable bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum to ensure consistent optical performance and longevity.
