Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable uses OS2 singlemode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for long-haul transmission with minimal signal loss. The MPO-12 female connector on one end interfaces with MPO cassettes or panels, while the four LC male connectors on the opposite end provide direct connectivity to SFP, SFP+, or other LC-based transceivers and devices.
The stranded construction adds flexibility for routing in tight spaces, and the lack of shielding reduces weight and cost while maintaining performance in typical indoor environments. The cable is rated for network device support and is designed for point-to-point or structured cabling systems requiring fanout distribution.
Key Product Advantages
This cable streamlines network infrastructure by reducing connector clutter and improving cable management. The MPO to LC fanout design allows efficient aggregation of multiple fiber links, saving space in racks and panels while maintaining high optical performance.
Durable Construction
The OFNR riser-rated jacket provides fire resistance for vertical installations, and the yellow color offers high visibility for easy identification in complex cabling environments.
- Fire-safe for riser applications
- High-visibility yellow jacket
- Stranded for flexibility
Optical Performance
APC connectors ensure low back reflection, critical for maintaining signal quality in singlemode systems. The 9/125 µm fiber supports high bandwidth over the 10 m length with minimal attenuation.
- APC connectors reduce reflection
- 9/125 µm singlemode fiber
- OS2 category for long-distance use
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for data center environments where MPO trunk cables connect to LC-based equipment, such as switches, routers, or servers with SFP ports. It supports high-density patching in fiber distribution frames, reducing the number of individual patch cords required.
Enterprise network upgrades benefit from this cable for backbone connections between floors or buildings, leveraging the riser-rated jacket for code-compliant vertical runs. Telecom and ISP installations use similar fanout cables for distributing signals from central offices to customer premises equipment.
Data Center Patching
Connect MPO backbone cables to LC transceivers in switches and servers, simplifying cable management in high-density racks.
Enterprise Backbone
Deploy for riser-rated vertical runs between network closets, using the 10 m length for flexible routing in multi-story buildings.
Physical Profile
The cable features a slim, flexible profile with a yellow OFNR jacket that is both durable and easy to identify. Weighing 6.40 oz (181.44 g), it is lightweight for handling during installation without compromising strength. The 32.8 ft (10 m) length provides ample reach for typical rack-to-rack or floor-to-floor connections, and the stranded design allows bending without damaging the internal fibers.

FAQ
What is the cable length and how is it measured?
The cable is 32.8 ft (10 m) long, measured end-to-end including connectors. This length is suitable for typical rack-to-rack, floor-to-floor, or equipment-to-patch panel connections in data center and enterprise environments.
What types of connectors are on each end of this cable?
One end has a single MPO-12 female connector, designed to interface with MPO cassettes or backbone cables. The opposite end has four LC male connectors, each providing a duplex connection for linking to SFP, SFP+, or other LC-based network devices.
What does OS2 singlemode fiber mean for this cable?
OS2 indicates the fiber category optimized for long-distance singlemode transmission with low attenuation. Singlemode fiber uses a 9/125 µm core/cladding to carry a single light mode, supporting high bandwidth over distances beyond multimode, making it ideal for backbone and telecom applications.
Is this cable riser-rated and what does that entail?
Yes, the cable has an OFNR riser-rated jacket. This means it meets fire safety standards for vertical installations in riser spaces between floors, reducing flame spread and smoke emission. It is suitable for use in plenums, shafts, and other vertical runs where fire codes apply.
What is the advantage of APC connectors on this cable?
Angled Physical Contact (APC) connectors feature an 8-degree angled polish that minimizes back reflection, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in singlemode systems. This reduces optical return loss, improving performance in high-speed networks and reducing interference.
Can this cable be used for outdoor or direct burial applications?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use with an OFNR riser-rated jacket. It is not rated for outdoor exposure, direct burial, or wet locations. For outdoor deployments, a cable with appropriate outdoor-rated jacket and protection would be required.
