Cablenet MPO-12BO4LC5 5m OM4 MPO 4x LC Network Cable

When your data centre needs to squeeze more connections into limited space, a single high-density link can become a bottleneck. The Cablenet MPO-12BO4LC5 5m OM4 MPO 4x LC Network Cable is a 5 m breakout cable that converts one MPO-12 multi-mode connector into four LC duplex ports, giving you the flexibility to expand bandwidth without adding extra trunk cables.

Usages of a 5 m breakout cable

Ideal for rack-to-rack links, server-to-switch connections and high-density patch panels, this cable lets you route multiple 10 GbE or higher links from a single MPO trunk to individual LC ports, simplifying cable management and freeing up valuable rack space.

Benefits of Cablenet breakout cable

• Simpler installation: One MPO connector feeds four LC ports, reducing the number of cables you need to handle.
• Space efficiency: High-density design fits tight rack environments where every millimetre counts.
• Future-proof performance: OM4 fibre supports up to 100 GbE over short runs, protecting your investment as speeds rise.
• Compliance assurance: Meets RoHS, REACH, CPR and CCA standards, suitable for public sector buildings.
• Reliable polarity: Uses Polarity Method B to ensure correct fibre pairing and minimise errors.

Cablenet breakout cable

Choosing this Cablenet breakout cable means you get a purpose-built solution that balances performance and practicality. The 5 m length is perfect for typical rack distances, offering enough reach without excess slack that can cause clutter. Its blue Aqua jacket not only looks professional but also helps you identify the cable quickly in a sea of wires.

The cable’s construction follows strict fire safety regulations, making it safe for installation in any public sector facility. By converting a single MPO trunk into four LC connections, you reduce the total number of connectors required, lowering both cost and potential points of failure. This streamlined approach translates into faster deployment times and easier maintenance for your IT team.
