BlueOptics OM4 MPO to MPO Multimode Fiber Trunk Cable UACC-OFC-MA-MPMP-5M-BO 5m LSZH

BlueOptics OM4 MPO to MPO Multimode Fiber Trunk Cable UACC-OFC-MA-MPMP-5M-BO is a 5 meter multimode fiber trunk designed for high-density data center and telecom interconnects. The cable uses OM4 multimode fiber and MPO-to-MPO connectors, paired with a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) outer jacket. It is intended for linking MPO-capable switches, patch panels and transceivers where short to medium length, high-bandwidth trunking is required.

Advantages

This trunk cable offers OM4 performance for improved modal bandwidth and support for higher data rates over multimode fiber compared with lower OM classes. The MPO-to-MPO terminations enable rapid, high-density mating of multi-fiber interfaces, reducing installation time in patching and backbone runs. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and halogen emissions in enclosed spaces, making the cable suitable for use in data centers and indoor telecom rooms where safety and regulatory compliance are important.

Suitable for

• High-density data center interconnects and rack-to-rack trunking
• Connecting MPO-equipped patch panels and breakout assemblies
• Linking MPO-enabled transceivers and switches for 40G/100G multimode links (where supported)
• Short- to medium-reach multimode backbone runs up to 5 meters

When it may not be suitable

This cable is a multimode OM4 trunk and therefore is not suitable for singlemode fiber applications or long-reach links that require singlemode performance. It may also be unnecessary for simple point-to-point lower-density connections where duplex LC connections or single-fiber solutions are more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode fiber
• Connector type: MPO to MPO multi-fiber connectors
• Length: 5 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Configuration: Multimode fiber trunk for multi-fiber patching

How to use

Route the MPO trunk cable between MPO-capable ports on switches, patch panels or transceivers, taking care to maintain minimum bend radius and avoid sharp bends or kinks. Verify connector orientation and keying on both MPO connectors before mating to ensure correct fiber polarity. Use appropriate cable management and strain relief in racks and trays to prevent stress on connectors. If required, test the trunk with a multimode fiber tester or optical loss meter to confirm link continuity and insertion loss within acceptable limits.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your equipment (switches, patch panels, transceivers) supports MPO multi-fiber connectors and OM4 multimode fiber.
• Confirm required link polarity and whether a straight-through or specific polarity MPO cable is needed for your installation.
• Check that 5 meters length is suitable for the planned routing and that LSZH jacket meets site safety requirements.

Usage recommendations

Handle MPO connectors carefully, keep connector end faces clean and use protective caps when not connected. Follow data center cabling standards for rack, tray, and panel organization to maintain signal performance and simplify future maintenance.
