Struggling with cramped rack space and the need for high-speed links? The Cablenet MPO-12BO4LC3 3m OM4 MPO 4x LC Cable is a breakout cable that turns one MPO connector into four LC duplex ports, letting you pack more connections into a smaller footprint while keeping performance high. It’s perfect for data-centre upgrades where density and reliability matter.
Key Features of a 3 m MPO cable
- Connector type (left): MPO multi-mode - female. Provides a compact 24-fiber interface.
- Connector type (right): 4 × LC/UPC duplex - standard LC ports for easy patching.
- Cable length: 3 m - enough reach for most rack-to-rack runs without excess slack.
- Fibre type: OM4 - supports 850/1300 nm wavelengths for high-bandwidth applications.
- Core diameter: 50 µm - matches industry-standard multimode fibre dimensions.
- Colour: Aqua (blue category) - helps identify the cable in busy installations.
- Return loss: ≥ 30 dB - ensures minimal signal reflection for clean transmission.
- Insertion loss: ≤ 0.35 dB - keeps signal attenuation very low.
- Compliance: CPR Cca, 2015/863, REACH 1907/2006/CE, RoHS - safe for public-sector buildings.
Cablenet MPO cable
Data-centre engineers and network installers often face the challenge of fitting many high-speed links into limited rack space. Traditional duplex fibres take up too much room and can become a management nightmare. This breakout cable consolidates multiple connections into a single MPO trunk, simplifying cable management and freeing up valuable space for other equipment.
Benefits of Cablenet MPO cable
- Space efficiency: Reduces rack density by converting one MPO into four LC ports.
- Easy installation: Standard LC connectors match existing patch panels.
- High performance: OM4 fibre supports 10 GbE and beyond with low loss.
- Fire safety: Meets strict public-sector fire regulations for safe deployment.
- Future-proof: Polarity Method B and dual-wavelength support keep it ready for upgrades.
Usages of a 3 m MPO cable
Ideal for high-density data-centre environments, this cable works well in server racks, storage arrays, and high-speed interconnects where you need to break out a multi-lane MPO link into individual LC connections without sacrificing performance.
