BlueOptics OCTCABLE7M-SR-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m MPO 4x LC

The BlueOptics OCTCABLE7M-SR-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m MPO 4x LC is a multimode OM3 patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, short-range connections in data centre and networking environments. With an MPO connector on one end and four LC connectors on the other, this 7.5 metre cable supports full-duplex transmission and is suitable for linking InfiniBand equipment, switches and active optical modules where compact, high-density cabling is required.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode fibre cable provides stable high-speed data transfer and low insertion loss for short-range links. The MPO to 4x LC break-out design enables flexible connection to transceivers and ports with LC interfaces while maintaining the density benefits of MPO trunking. The 7.5 m length offers a practical balance between reach and neat cable management in racks and patch panels. The cable construction is optimized for predictable optical performance in demanding networking applications.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting InfiniBand switches and hosts in server racks
• Connecting MPO-based trunk lines to LC-based transceivers
• High-bandwidth short-reach links in data centres and storage networks
• Environments requiring compact, high-density fibre cabling

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connector A: MPO (multi-fibre push-on)
• Connector B: 4 × LC (quad LC break-out)
• Transmission: full duplex
• Intended range: short-reach/high-bandwidth links

How to use

Route the cable carefully through cable management channels and secure it to avoid tight bends that exceed the fibre bend radius. Insert the MPO connector into the MPO port and connect the individual LC connectors to the corresponding LC ports on the target devices or transceivers, observing correct polarity and alignment. Verify link status and optical power levels after installation to confirm proper connectivity and performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use with compatible OM3-rated transceivers and maintain minimum bend radii during installation. Avoid excessive pulling force on connectors, and clean connector end-faces before mating to reduce insertion loss and maintain signal integrity.
