Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes OS2 singlemode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications. The MPO/APC female connector on one end interfaces with MPO-based equipment, while the eight LC/UPC male connectors on the opposite end provide individual duplex connections. The fanout design allows for efficient breakout from multi-fiber trunks to standard LC interfaces.
The OFNR riser-rated LSZH jacket meets safety standards for vertical runs between floors, offering low smoke zero halogen properties. With no shielding required for fiber optic applications, the cable maintains signal purity while the yellow color aids in quick identification and organization within network racks.
Key Product Advantages
This fanout cable reduces installation complexity by consolidating multiple connections into a single MPO interface, saving space and time in high-density patching scenarios. The APC polish on the MPO connector minimizes back reflection, enhancing signal quality for sensitive optical networks.
High-Density Efficiency
Converts one MPO port to four LC duplex ports, optimizing rack space and simplifying cable management in crowded network environments.
- Reduces cable clutter
- Streamlines patching workflows
- Supports scalable infrastructure
Reliable Performance
OS2 singlemode fiber ensures low attenuation and high bandwidth over the 30-meter distance, suitable for demanding data transmission needs.
- Minimizes signal loss
- Maintains data integrity
- Ideal for long-haul links
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting MPO-based fiber distribution frames to LC-based network equipment, such as switches, routers, or media converters. It facilitates efficient breakout in data centers where space optimization and rapid deployment are critical.
Common applications include backbone links in enterprise networks, telecommunications central offices, and high-performance computing environments. The riser-rated jacket allows safe installation in vertical risers, while the fanout design supports modular expansion and easy maintenance.
Data Center Patching
Use to connect MPO trunk cables to LC ports on active equipment, enabling flexible and organized patching in server rooms and network closets.
Media Conversion Integration
Pair with media converters to extend fiber links to copper-based devices, bridging different network segments with reliable optical connectivity.
Physical Profile
The cable features a durable yellow LSZH jacket that is both riser-rated (OFNR) and low smoke zero halogen, ensuring safety in indoor vertical installations. With a manageable weight of 9.60 ounces, it is easy to handle and route through conduits or trays. The stranded construction provides flexibility for tight bends without compromising fiber integrity.

FAQ
What is the purpose of this MPO to LC fanout cable?
This cable converts a single MPO connector into four LC duplex connections, enabling efficient breakout from high-density MPO trunks to standard LC ports on network equipment. It simplifies cabling in data centers and enterprise networks by reducing clutter and streamlining patching workflows.
What type of fiber does this cable use, and what are its advantages?
The cable uses OS2 singlemode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification. Singlemode fiber supports long-distance transmission with low attenuation and high bandwidth, making it ideal for backbone links and applications requiring reliable data integrity over distances up to 30 meters.
Is this cable suitable for riser installations?
Yes, the cable features an OFNR riser-rated LSZH jacket, which meets safety standards for vertical runs between floors. The low smoke zero halogen properties enhance safety in indoor environments by reducing toxic emissions in case of fire.
What devices are compatible with this fanout cable?
The cable is compatible with a wide range of network equipment, including network devices, patch panels, media converters, routers, hubs, and switches. Its MPO/APC and LC/UPC connectors ensure interoperability with standard fiber optic interfaces in most enterprise and telecommunications setups.
What does APC polish mean, and why is it important?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, a polish type on the MPO connector that angles the fiber endface to minimize back reflection. This reduces signal loss and improves performance in sensitive optical networks, ensuring higher data integrity and reliability compared to flat polish connectors.
What warranty does this AddOn cable come with?
The cable includes a lifetime limited warranty, providing long-term assurance against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty supports reliable deployment in critical network infrastructure, offering peace of mind for IT professionals and network administrators.
