Product Features
Technical Overview
This fanout cable utilizes OM3 multi-mode fiber, supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances of up to 300 meters, with backward compatibility to OM2 and OM1 standards. The 50/125 µm fiber geometry optimizes bandwidth for short to medium-range applications common in LAN and data center environments.
The MPO female connector on one end provides a single interface for high-density connections, while the eight LC male connectors on the opposite end offer flexibility for patching to switches, routers, or other network equipment. This configuration simplifies cable management by reducing the number of individual patch cords required for multi-fiber connections.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers practical benefits for network professionals through its thoughtful design and construction. The fanout configuration streamlines connectivity between MPO-based backbone systems and LC-based equipment ports, reducing installation time and potential points of failure.
Simplified Deployment
The pre-terminated fanout design eliminates the need for field termination, ensuring consistent optical performance and reducing labor costs during installation.
- Factory-terminated connectors
- Consistent insertion loss
- Reduced installation time
Environmentally Rated
The OFNR riser-rated jacket meets flame resistance requirements for vertical installations, providing safety compliance for inter-floor cable runs.
- Flame retardant
- Vertical run compliant
- Plenum-rated alternative available
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO to LC fanout cable is ideal for connecting high-density MPO trunk cables to LC-based network equipment in various environments. Its 10-meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in data centers where equipment may be separated by moderate distances.
Common applications include patching between MPO backbone cables and LC ports on switches, routers, or media converters in enterprise networks, data centers, and telecommunications facilities. The riser-rated construction makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors in office buildings, while the OM3 fiber supports high-speed data transmission for storage area networks, server connectivity, and backbone links.
Data Center Patching
Connect MPO backbone cables to LC ports on top-of-rack switches, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow management in high-density environments.
Enterprise Backbone
Extend fiber connections between telecommunications rooms on different floors using the riser-rated jacket for code-compliant vertical installations.
Physical Profile
The cable features a durable OFNR riser-rated jacket that provides protection against physical damage and meets flame resistance requirements for vertical installations. With an approximate weight of 6.40 ounces (181.44 grams), this cable offers manageable handling during installation without excessive bulk. The aqua color coding clearly identifies it as OM3 multi-mode fiber, helping technicians quickly distinguish it from other fiber types during installation and maintenance.

FAQ
What is the purpose of this MPO to LC fanout cable?
This cable converts a single MPO female connector into four duplex LC male connections, allowing you to connect high-density MPO backbone systems to standard LC ports on network equipment like switches, routers, or media converters. It simplifies cabling in data centers and enterprise networks by reducing the number of individual patch cords needed for multi-fiber connections.
What does OM3 rating mean for this fiber cable?
OM3 is a multi-mode fiber specification that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission at distances up to 300 meters. This cable uses 50/125 µm fiber geometry optimized for laser-based transmission systems, providing higher bandwidth than older OM1 or OM2 fibers. The aqua jacket color is standard for identifying OM3 multi-mode fiber in network installations.
Can this cable be used for vertical runs between floors?
Yes, this cable features an OFNR riser-rated jacket that meets flame resistance requirements for vertical installations between floors. The riser rating indicates the cable can be installed in vertical shafts without conduit, making it suitable for connecting telecommunications rooms on different levels in office buildings or data centers.
What is the difference between MPO and LC connectors on this cable?
The MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) connector on one end is a high-density interface that accommodates multiple fibers in a single connector, typically used for backbone connections. The eight LC (Lucent Connector) connectors on the opposite end are duplex connectors commonly used for equipment ports. This fanout configuration bridges between high-density infrastructure and standard equipment interfaces.
What applications is this 10-meter fiber cable best suited for?
This 10-meter length is ideal for rack-to-rack connections in data centers, within-rack patching, or connections between adjacent equipment cabinets. It supports applications including storage area networks, server connectivity, network backbone links, and any scenario requiring conversion between MPO and LC interfaces over moderate distances.
What warranty coverage does this AddOn fiber cable include?
This AddOn fiber optic cable comes with a 3-year limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty provides assurance of product reliability for network installations and is backed by the manufacturer's support for qualified technical issues during the coverage period.
