Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP5252EU30MKB MPO OM3 30 m Mint

The BlueOptics SFP5252EU30MKB MPO OM3 30 m Mint is a 30-metre OM3 multimode fibre optic cable with MPO connectors on both ends, designed for high-density network environments and InfiniBand links. The mint-coloured jacket makes cable runs easier to identify in patch panels and data centres while the OM3 grade core supports laser-optimized transmission for high-speed short-reach connections. The cable is suitable for structured cabling, server-to-switch interconnects and other installations where reliable multimode performance and a compact MPO interface are required.

Advantages

The MPO terminated OM3 fibre provides a compact multi-fibre interface that simplifies high-density patching and reduces connector footprint compared with multiple duplex connectors. OM3 multimode fibres are optimized for VCSEL-based transceivers, enabling effective support for 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps and certain 100 Gbps short-reach links over the 30 m distance. The 30-metre length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or room-to-room runs, and the visible mint jacket improves cable management and identification. Durable construction and factory-terminated MPO end-faces ensure consistent optical performance and reduced installation time.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-density data centre patching and backbone links
• InfiniBand server interconnects and HPC clusters
• Rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment multimode connections
• Short-reach 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps multimode links

• Length: 30 metres
• Jacket colour: Mint
• Application: Short-reach, laser-optimised multimode transmission
• Suitable for VCSEL-based transceivers and high-density patching

How to use

Route the MPO OM3 cable between MPO-capable transceivers or patch panels, ensuring clean and aligned end-faces before connection. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable with suitable cable management to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent microbending losses. For multi-core MPO connections, confirm correct polarity and pinning to match the transceiver or patch panel configuration. If cleaning is required, use fibre-specific cleaning tools to remove dust and contamination from MPO ferrules prior to mating.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress; verify polarity and MPO pinning during installation and use factory-terminated MPO dust caps until final connection to preserve connector integrity.
