BlueOptics MPO–MPO OM4 Multimode Fiber Trunk Cable 10 m, 12-core (compatible with Ubiquiti UACC-OFC-MA-MPMP-10M)

The BlueOptics MPO–MPO OM4 Multimode Fiber Trunk Cable 10 m, 12-core is a factory-terminated multimode fiber assembly with MPO connectors on both ends. Designed for high-density data center interconnects and backbone links, this OM4-rated trunk cable supports parallel optics and short-reach, high-bandwidth applications where multi-fiber connectivity is required. The 12-core configuration provides multiple parallel channels in a single compact cable, suitable for aggregating connections between switches, patch panels and transceivers.

Advantages

This OM4 multimode trunk cable offers low insertion loss and consistent multimode performance across its length, enabling reliable transmission for 10G, 40G and 100G short-reach applications when used with compatible transceivers. The MPO to MPO termination reduces installation time compared with field-terminated fiber runs and simplifies cabling in dense racks and patching environments. Its standardized multimode grading and robust jacket construction help maintain signal integrity in typical data center installations.

Suitable for

• High-density data center trunking and patching between MPO-enabled patch panels
• Parallel optics links using MPO-based transceivers for 40G/100G aggregation
• Short-reach backbone connections within server rooms and telecommunications rooms
• Retrofitting or expanding existing multimode MPO infrastructures

When it may not be suitable

This multimode OM4 MPO–MPO trunk cable is not suitable for long-distance singlemode applications or for installations requiring single-fiber single-mode transceivers. It also may not be appropriate where different connector types or polarity arrangements are required unless adapters or re-pinning are used. For environments with unusual mechanical stress or chemical exposure, check the cable jacket rating to ensure compatibility.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Connector type: MPO to MPO, 12-core configuration
• Length: 10 m
• Suitable wavelength ranges: multimode short-reach wavelengths (typically 850/1300 nm)
• Typical applications: parallel optics, 10G/40G/100G short-reach links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics MPO–MPO OM4 trunk cable by connecting each MPO end into the designated MPO ports on patch panels or MPO-capable transceivers, ensuring correct polarity and alignment. Handle the MPO connector with care to avoid contaminating the ferrule; clean endfaces using appropriate fiber cleaning tools before insertion. Route the cable following rack and cabinet bend-radius guidelines and secure it to avoid excessive strain. Verify link performance with an appropriate test tool after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your network equipment and transceivers support multimode OM4 MPO connections and the required parallel optics configuration
• Check required polarity (A-to-A, A-to-B or other MPO wiring) for compatibility with existing patching and transceiver pinouts
• Ensure 10 m length meets routing and slack requirements in your racks or conduits
• Verify environmental and jacket requirements for your installation (indoor/outdoor, plenum rating, chemical exposure)

Usage recommendations

Use MPO cleaning tools before each connection, follow manufacturer bend-radius limits during installation, and perform insertion loss and continuity tests after deployment to confirm performance meets link budget requirements.
