Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes 9/125 µm single-mode fiber with Angled Physical Contact (APC) polishing on the MPO end to minimize back reflection and improve signal integrity. The 12-strand configuration allows simultaneous connectivity for multiple devices or ports, reducing cable clutter and installation time.
The MPO female connector features a high-density interface suitable for MPO-based transceivers and patch panels, while the LC male connectors offer standard duplex compatibility with SFP modules, media converters, and networking equipment. The stranded construction enhances flexibility for routing in tight spaces.
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.

Compliance and Safety
OFNR riser-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for vertical runs between floors, while LSZH material reduces toxic fumes in case of fire.
- Indoor riser compliance
- Low smoke zero halogen
- Flame retardant
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this cable in scenarios requiring efficient fiber distribution, such as connecting MPO backbone lines to LC-based equipment in enterprise networks, data centers, or telecommunications installations. It is compatible with network devices, patch panels, media converters, routers, hubs, and switches.
Common applications include patching between MPO cassettes and LC SFP ports, extending fiber links in riser environments, and supporting high-speed networks like 10G, 40G, or 100G Ethernet where single-mode fiber is preferred for long reaches.
Data Center Patching
Use for structured cabling in data centers to connect MPO trunk cables to LC switch ports, enabling scalable network expansion.
Telecom and Enterprise
Ideal for building backbone links, connecting ODFs, or integrating with media converters in office and campus networks.
Physical Profile
The cable features a bright yellow jacket for easy identification in complex cabling systems. With a length of 2 meters (6.6 feet) and lightweight design at 6.40 ounces, it offers manageable deployment without excessive slack. The flexible stranded construction allows smooth bending and routing around corners or through conduits.

FAQ
What is the conversion role of this fiber optic cable?
This cable converts one MPO/APC female connector into six LC/UPC duplex connections (12 individual LC male connectors). It acts as a fanout cable, allowing a single high-density MPO port to interface with multiple LC-based devices or ports, commonly used in data centers for efficient patching.
What type of fiber and category does this cable use?
It uses OS2-grade single-mode fiber (SMF) with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification. OS2 is designed for long-distance transmission with low attenuation, making it suitable for backbone links, telecommunications, and high-bandwidth applications over extended reaches.
Is this cable suitable for indoor riser applications?
Yes, the cable features an OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket, which is riser-rated and complies with NEC requirements for vertical runs between floors in buildings. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material also enhances safety by reducing toxic fumes in case of fire.
What devices or equipment is this cable compatible with?
It is compatible with a wide range of networking equipment including network devices, patch panels, media converters, routers, hubs, and switches. The MPO end works with MPO-based transceivers and cassettes, while the LC ends connect to standard LC interfaces on SFP modules or ports.
What does APC polishing provide on the MPO connector?
APC (Angled Physical Contact) polishing on the MPO connector reduces back reflection and optical return loss compared to UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polishing. This improves signal integrity, making it ideal for sensitive applications like fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or analog video transmission where reflection can degrade performance.
What is the warranty coverage for this cable?
The cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty from AddOn, ensuring long-term reliability and support against defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty provides peace of mind for critical network infrastructure deployments.
