BlueOptics X66205-7.5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7.5 m MPO 4x LC

The BlueOptics X66205-7.5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7.5 meter OM4 multimode patch cable with an MPO connector on one end and four LC duplex connectors on the other. Designed for high-speed data transmission, the cable uses a 125 µm core multimode fibre and supports full duplex communication, making it suitable for dense networking and data centre interconnects. The jacket is low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) to reduce toxic emissions in case of fire, and the assembly is factory-tested for optical loss and return loss.

Advantages

This cable provides laser-optimized OM4 multimode performance with low attenuation per kilometre and low insertion loss, supporting reliable short-range high-bandwidth links. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for durability and are assembled from branded components to achieve consistent optical performance. Each unit is tested with interferometer and OTDR methods and supplied with a measurement protocol of input loss and return loss values. The LSZH sheath reduces smoke and halogen release compared with PVC-sheathed alternatives.

Suitable for

• Data centre trunking and switch-to-switch interconnects
• InfiniBand high-speed fabric connections
• Connecting MPO patch panels to LC transceiver ports
• Multi-mode fibre links in server rooms and enterprise networks

How to use

Install the BlueOptics MPO to 4×LC cable between an MPO-equipped panel or trunk and the target LC ports on switches or transceivers. Before inserting connectors, remove protective caps and inspect ferrule endfaces for contamination; clean if necessary to avoid increased insertion loss. Align the MPO and LC connectors to their respective ports and insert until the latch engages. Route the cable using appropriate bend radius management and secure with ties or cable managers to avoid stress on the connectors. After installation, verify optical link performance using appropriate test equipment and compare measured loss values with system requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM4 MPO–4×LC cable for short-range, high-bandwidth links within racks and between adjacent racks. Maintain minimum bend radius, keep connectors capped when idle, and follow established cleaning procedures for MPO and LC endfaces. For critical links, keep the supplied test protocol for reference during troubleshooting and system audits.
