Aqua 12-strand MPO-MPO fibre cable 9.8ft

BFKK

BFKK MPO-MPO Fibre Optic Cable 12 Strand Type B OM3 9.8ft Aqua

SKU CH-KQG3-C1MBF

12-strand OM3 multi-mode cable with Type B polarity and MPO connectors for QSFP+ and QSFP28 transceivers

Length 9.8 ft.

  • 12-strand MPO cable connects QSFP+ and QSFP28 transceivers directly
  • Type B polarity aligns fibre cores for correct signal routing
  • OM3 multimode fibre carries short-reach data-centre traffic
  • LSZH jacket limits smoke and halogen emission in fire
  • 8 ft length fits standard rack-to-rack patching

12-Strand OM3 MPO Cable

This 12-strand OM3 multi-mode fibre cable uses MPO connectors in a Type B polarity configuration. It is built for data-centre links between QSFP+ and QSFP28 transceivers, GPON and EPON equipment, or any 12-fibre parallel optic patching need.

LSZH Jacket and Low-Loss Design

The low-smoke zero-halogen jacket meets fire-safety requirements for indoor routing. Manufacturing tolerances are held tight to keep insertion loss low across the full 9.8ft length, so signal integrity stays consistent in dense patch panels.

Replaces Lower-Grade or Mismatched Patch Cords

Install this when existing cables are OM1 or OM2 and cannot support current speeds, or when polarity is Type A and the link requires Type B. It is not for single-mode runs, for links needing more than 12 fibres, or for outdoor plant where a ruggedised sheath is specified.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the MPO connectors to my QSFP28 transceivers without damaging the ferrules?

Align the key on the MPO connector with the keyway on the QSFP28 port, then push straight in until you hear a click; forcing it at an angle cracks the ceramic ferrules.

When should I clean the MPO end faces on this 12-strand cable?

Inspect and clean both end faces with a one-click cleaner before every connection; dust on the 12 fibres is the most common cause of insertion-loss spikes.

What limits the usable length of this 9.8 ft OM3 link at 28 Gbit/s per lane?

OM3 multi-mode fibre reaches its modal-bandwidth limit first, so the 9.8 ft run stays well within the distance where dispersion closes the eye.
