BlueOptics LWL trunk cable compatible with Ubiquiti UACC-OFC-MA-MPMP-20M-BO OM4 multimode 20 m MPO

The BlueOptics LWL trunk cable compatible with Ubiquiti UACC-OFC-MA-MPMP-20M-BO OM4 multimode 20 m MPO is a pre-terminated multimode fiber assembly designed for high-density backbone and patching applications. With OM4 grade fiber and MPO multi-fiber connectors, this 20 metre trunk cable supports short-reach links and parallel optics deployments in data centers, server rooms, and network cabinets. The cable provides multi-fiber connectivity for aggregating lanes or connecting cassette modules and patch panels where space and density are critical.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fiber offers improved bandwidth and lower attenuation for short-reach multimode links compared with lower-grade multimode types. MPO connectors enable fast, repeatable multi-fiber connections, reducing installation time when deploying parallel optics transceivers or cassette systems. The 20 m length provides a balance between reach and manageability for typical data center runs, and the pre-terminated design eliminates the need for field terminations and splicing during installation.

Suitable for

• High-density backbone and patching in data centers and server rooms
• Connections between MPO cassettes, MTP/MPO trunk panels and switches with parallel optics
• Short-reach multimode links such as 40G/100G parallel optics within racks or between adjacent rows
• Network cabinet-to-cabinet runs where a 20 m pre-terminated trunk simplifies deployment

When it may not be suitable

This OM4 multimode MPO trunk cable is not intended for long-distance singlemode links; it is optimized for short-reach multimode environments. It may not be suitable where single-fibre LC terminated runs or field-terminated custom lengths are required, or where a different connector type is mandated by existing hardware.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Connector type: MPO multi-fiber connectors (pre-terminated)
• Length: 20 metres
• Cable application: Trunk/backbone for high-density deployments
• Typical use: Short-reach, parallel optics and cassette/panel connections

How to use

Unpack the pre-terminated trunk cable and route it through the cable management troughs or raceways between the two installation points. Ensure MPO connectors are clean and aligned to the mating MPO adapters or cassette ports before insertion. When connecting to parallel optics transceivers or cassettes, confirm correct polarity and fibre mapping for the intended channel configuration. Secure the cable with appropriate ties and strain relief to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that MPO connector type and pinning/polarity match your cassettes, panels or transceivers
• Confirm OM4 multimode is appropriate for your link distances and transceiver types
• Check that a 20 m length fits the intended cable route without excess slack or tension
• Ensure existing equipment accepts MPO multi-fiber connections or that suitable cassettes/adapters are available

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean MPO endfaces before each connection, avoid bending beyond the cable’s minimum radius, and store unused cable neatly to prevent kinks. Use MPO-to-MPO connections only where parallel optics and multi-fiber assemblies are specified; for single-lane LC deployments, select appropriate conversion or cassette solutions.
