BlueOptics SFP5353FU0.5MKB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m MPO

The BlueOptics SFP5353FU0.5MKB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m MPO is a short-reach multimode link designed for high-density data center and networking environments. Constructed with OM4 multimode fibre and MPO connectors at both ends, this 0.5 metre cable provides reliable, low-latency optical transmission for InfiniBand and other high-speed interconnect applications. Its compact length and MPO termination make it suitable for patching between modules, transceivers and high-port-count switches where space and signal integrity are priorities.

Advantages

This OM4 MPO cable delivers enhanced bandwidth and low attenuation over short distances, supporting high data rates common in InfiniBand networks. The MPO connector format enables quick, high-density connections and reduces cabling clutter in rack and patch panel installations. The 0.5 m length minimises excess slack and helps maintain orderly cable management while preserving signal quality through standardized multimode construction.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between InfiniBand transceivers and switch ports
• High-density patch panels and modular optical enclosures
• Data centre uplinks and server-to-switch links where space is limited
• Multimode optical systems requiring OM4 performance

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode fibre
• Connector type: MPO to MPO
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Application: InfiniBand and multimode optical networks
• Construction: Multimode duplex/multi-fibre MPO assembly suitable for high-density cabling

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the MPO connector keying with the corresponding receptacle on transceivers or patch panels and insert until the connector latches. Use this 0.5 m link for direct transceiver-to-transceiver or transceiver-to-module connections where short, clean optical paths are required. Ensure connectors and transceiver ports are free of dust; inspect and, if necessary, clean endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before insertion to maintain optimal signal performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Use MPO-compatible cleaning tools and dust caps when ports are not in use. For multimode InfiniBand links, verify transceiver and switch compatibility with OM4 fibre and MPO termination to ensure expected data rates and link stability.
