Fiber patch cable CBO SFP5252FU3MKA 3 m OM4 violet (BlueOptics)

BlueOptics Fiber patch cable CBO SFP5252FU3MKA is a 3 m multimode OM4 MPO trunk cable with a violet jacket designed for high-density data center and telecom rack environments. The cable provides MPO connectivity for parallel optics and short-reach links, supporting high-bandwidth transmission between switches, servers and active equipment. Its OM4 multimode core improves modal bandwidth for higher data rates over short distances and the compact MPO connector enables space-saving trunking and structured cabling layouts.

Advantages

The robust violet jacket and factory-terminated MPO end deliver consistent connector geometry and low insertion loss for reliable optical performance. As an OM4 multimode link, the cable supports increased bandwidth and improved signal integrity for short-reach multi-lane applications. The 3 m length balances flexibility and cable management in rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment interconnects, while the MPO design allows rapid deployment in parallel optics and high-density patch panels.

Suitable for

• Data center trunking and high-density patch panels
• Switch-to-switch and server connections using parallel optics
• Short-reach multimode links for 10/40/100 Gbps applications
• Structured cabling installations requiring compact MPO connectivity

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Connector type: MPO (multi-fiber parallel connector)
• Length: 3 meters
• Jacket color: Violet
• Application: Trunking, parallel optics, short-reach links

How to use

Connect the MPO ends to compatible MPO ports on switches, transceivers or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation and alignment of the connector key. Route the cable along rack cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Verify optical link performance after installation using appropriate test equipment or by validating network link status indicators on connected devices.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the OM4 MPO cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination of connector endfaces. Clean connectors before mating, avoid exceeding the cable's bend radius, and label both ends for easier maintenance in high-density installations. For critical links, perform insertion loss and continuity testing after installation.
