BlueOptics OM4 MPO-12 UPC fiber trunk cable compatible with Ubiquiti UACC-OFC-MA-MPMP-3M, 3 m, LSZH

BlueOptics OM4 MPO-12 UPC fiber trunk cable compatible with Ubiquiti UACC-OFC-MA-MPMP-3M is a 3 m multimode fiber assembly designed for high-density networking environments. The cable uses OM4 graded multimode fiber and MPO-12 UPC terminations to support parallel optics modules and simplify multi-fiber connections between servers, switches and patch panels. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and corrosive gas emissions in the event of a fire, making the cable suitable for indoor data center and backbone installations where low-smoke characteristics are required.

Advantages

The OM4 fiber core provides improved bandwidth-distance performance compared with lower multimode grades, enabling higher data rates over short and medium distances. MPO-12 UPC connectors allow a single connector to carry multiple fibers for parallel transceiver systems, reducing cabling bulk and connection time. The 3 m length offers a practical reach for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel connections, and the LSZH jacket provides safety benefits in enclosed spaces.

Suitable for

• High-density data center trunking and backbone links
• Parallel optics connections using MPO/MTP transceivers
• Interconnects between servers, switches and patch panels within racks
• Indoor installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket is required

When it may not be suitable

This multimode OM4 MPO-12 trunk cable is not intended for single-mode long-haul links or outdoor installations exposed to UV, moisture or extreme temperatures. It may not be compatible with equipment requiring different connector polish types or keying variants other than UPC; verify connector polarity and keying before installation.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Connector type: MPO-12 with UPC polish
• Length: 3 m
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Application: Parallel optics / multi-fiber trunk

How to use

Install the BlueOptics OM4 MPO-12 UPC trunk cable by aligning the MPO connector keying with the device or cassette connector and gently mating until the latch engages. Avoid forcing the connector; inspect endfaces for cleanliness and use appropriate cleaning tools if contamination is present. Route the cable with proper bend radius compliance for multimode fiber, secure it in cable management trays or rings, and avoid tight bends or crushing. For MPO systems, ensure correct polarity and mapping to corresponding transceivers or cassettes to maintain channel alignment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm device compatibility with MPO-12 UPC connectors and OM4 multimode fiber
• Verify required cable length and whether 3 m suits your rack layout
• Check polarity and connector keying requirements for your parallel optics setup
• Ensure an indoor LSZH-rated cable meets your building fire-code and environmental needs

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, clean MPO endfaces before connection, maintain minimum bend radius during routing, and pair the trunk with OM4-rated transceivers and cassettes. Use structured cable management to prevent strain and to preserve MPO alignment for parallel optic modules.
