Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable uses OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for bandwidth-intensive applications up to 10 Gb/s and beyond over short to medium distances. The MPO female connector on one end interfaces with MPO-based patch panels or transceivers, while the eight LC male connectors on the other end connect to switches, routers, media converters, or other network devices.
The riser-rated (OFNR) jacket meets fire safety standards for vertical installations, and the lack of shielding simplifies deployment in typical indoor environments. With a weight of approximately 1 lb (453.59 g), the cable is lightweight yet robust for structured cabling setups.
Key Product Advantages
This fanout cable streamlines network infrastructure by reducing cable clutter and simplifying connections in high-density setups. Its MPO to LC breakout design allows seamless integration between backbone MPO systems and standard LC ports, enhancing flexibility and scalability.
High-Density Connectivity
Converts one MPO port into eight LC connections, optimizing space in racks and patch panels for efficient cable management.
- Reduces cable bulk
- Simplifies port utilization
- Supports scalable deployments
Reliable Performance
OM4 fiber with physical contact (PC) connectors ensures low insertion loss and stable signal integrity for critical network operations.
- Minimizes data loss
- Enhances transmission quality
- Durable stranded construction
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and telecom environments where MPO backbone cabling needs to interface with LC-based equipment. This cable facilitates connections to patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, and routers, supporting applications like server farms, storage area networks (SANs), and high-speed internet backbones.
Use it to extend or break out MPO trunks in riser-rated installations, such as between floors in office buildings or within server racks. Its compatibility with multi-mode OM4 fiber makes it suitable for short-reach high-bandwidth links, often deployed alongside 10GbE or faster networking gear.
Data Center Patching
Connect MPO-based fiber distribution frames to LC ports on switches or media converters, enabling efficient cross-connects and upgrades.
Enterprise Network Expansion
Extend MPO backbone cables to multiple LC devices like routers or hubs, supporting network growth without rewiring.
Physical Profile
The cable features an aqua-colored jacket from the green family, making it easily identifiable as OM4 multi-mode fiber in network installations. With a length of 98.4 ft (30 m), it provides ample reach for typical riser-rated runs, and the lightweight design at 1 lb (453.59 g) ensures easy handling and installation without excessive bulk.
