Technical Overview
This cable utilizes bend-insensitive single-mode fiber, which maintains signal integrity even when routed around tight corners or in confined spaces. The MPO-12 connector uses Angled Physical Contact (APC) polishing to minimize back reflection, while the LC connectors feature Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing for optimal optical performance in duplex configurations.
With a maximum distance capability of 656,167.98 ft (200,000,000 mm), this cable is engineered for extended reach in fiber optic networks. The 8-strand construction provides redundancy and flexibility for various patching scenarios, supporting data transmission speeds suitable for modern networking equipment.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the cable length and how does it impact deployment?
This cable measures 49.2 feet (15 meters), providing sufficient reach for most indoor network installations. This length allows flexible routing between equipment racks, across rooms, or through vertical risers while maintaining signal integrity. The 15-meter span is ideal for connecting MPO backbone systems to LC-based network devices in data centers, office buildings, and industrial environments without requiring intermediate connections.
What connectors are on each end of this fiber optic cable?
One end features a single MPO-12 female connector with APC polishing, designed for high-density backbone connections. The other end branches into four separate LC male connectors with UPC polishing, each supporting duplex fiber connections. This fanout configuration efficiently distributes signals from a 12-fiber MPO trunk to individual LC ports on switches, transceivers, or other network equipment.
What does OS2 single-mode fiber mean for network performance?
OS2 designates the fiber category optimized for single-mode transmission with low attenuation over long distances. The 9/125 µm core/cladding specification enables efficient light propagation with minimal signal loss. This cable supports high-bandwidth data transmission suitable for 10G, 40G, and 100G network applications, with a maximum distance capability exceeding 656,000 feet for extended network reach.
What safety ratings does the cable jacket have?
The cable features an OFNR riser-rated PVC jacket that resists flame propagation and limits smoke generation. This rating certifies the cable for installation in vertical riser spaces between floors, plenums, and other air-handling areas where fire safety is critical. The fire-resistant properties ensure compliance with building codes and safety standards for indoor network installations.
What does bend-insensitive fiber technology provide?
Bend-insensitive fiber maintains optical performance even when routed around tight corners or subjected to physical stress during installation. This technology reduces signal loss that typically occurs when conventional fiber is bent, allowing more flexible cable management in confined spaces like equipment racks, conduits, and cable trays without compromising data transmission quality.
What applications is this cable best suited for?
This cable is designed for indoor network environments including data centers, office buildings, and industrial facilities. The MPO to LC fanout configuration makes it ideal for connecting high-density MPO backbone systems to LC-based network equipment. Specific applications include data center patching, enterprise network expansion, vertical riser installations, and any scenario requiring reliable single-mode fiber connectivity with efficient cable management.
