Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP6142FU2MKB MTP 4x SC OM4 2 m Purple

The BlueOptics SFP6142FU2MKB MTP 4x SC OM4 2 m Purple is a 2-metre multimode fibre optic cable designed for InfiniBand and high-speed network connections. One end of the cable uses an MTP connector and the other end terminates in four SC connectors, providing full duplex links for parallel data transmission. The OM4 fibre grade supports higher bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, and the purple jacket provides clear visual identification in rack and patch environments.

Advantages

This cable delivers stable, low-loss optical performance suitable for high-density and high-throughput installations. The MTP to 4x SC breakout provides simple migration between MPO/MTP trunk lines and equipment with SC ports without requiring additional adapters. The OM4 specification improves modal bandwidth and supports higher data rates over the 2 m length, while the colour-coded jacket helps reduce mispatching and speeds up maintenance operations.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects in high-performance computing environments
• Data centre patching and trunk to equipment transitions
• High-speed short-reach links and parallel optics applications
• Organised cable management where colour coding simplifies identification

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM4
• Length: 2 metres
• Connector A: MTP (MPO-style multi-fibre connector)
• Connector B: 4 × SC (singlemode-style SC duplex terminated for multimode use)
• Transmission: Full duplex, parallel optic breakout
• Jacket colour: Purple (for identification)
• Typical applications: InfiniBand and high-density multimode networks

How to use

Install the cable by connecting the MTP end to an MTP/MPO trunk or module, ensuring correct key orientation and fibre alignment. Route the four SC connectors to the respective SC ports on the target device, taking care to maintain bend-radius limits and avoid sharp folds. Verify link status and optical power where required, and secure the cable within cable management panels to prevent strain on connectors during operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, handle the OM4 multimode fibres with care: avoid excessive bending, keep connector endfaces clean, and use dust caps when connectors are not in use. Match the cable deployment to short-reach, high-bandwidth environments and confirm compatibility with existing InfiniBand transceivers and MTP modules before installation.
