Product Features
Technical Overview
This fanout cable utilizes OM4 multi-mode fiber with 50/125 µm core/cladding specifications, supporting high-bandwidth applications up to 100G Ethernet. The 16.4 ft (5 m) length provides flexible deployment options for rack-to-rack or within-cabinet connections in data centers and enterprise networks.
The cable construction features a riser-rated OFNR jacket suitable for vertical runs between floors, while the stranded design enhances flexibility during installation. No shielding is required as fiber optic cables are inherently immune to electromagnetic interference.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This fanout cable simplifies high-density fiber deployments by converting a single MPO interface to eight individual LC connections. The design reduces cable clutter and installation time compared to running multiple separate patch cables.
High-Density Conversion
Efficiently breaks out MPO connections to individual LC ports, maximizing port utilization in space-constrained environments.
- 1 MPO to 8 LC conversion
- Reduces cable management complexity
- Optimizes rack space utilization
Reliable Performance
OM4 multi-mode fiber with Physical Contact polish ensures consistent signal quality with low insertion loss for critical network links.
- OM4 supports up to 100G Ethernet
- PC polish minimizes signal reflection
- 50/125 µm core for optimal light transmission
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO to LC fanout cable is ideal for connecting high-density MPO ports on switches, routers, or media converters to individual LC ports on patch panels or network devices. The riser-rated construction makes it suitable for vertical installations in building riser shafts.
Common applications include data center interconnects, storage area networks, and high-speed backbone links where MPO trunk cables need to be broken out to individual equipment connections. The cable supports various network devices including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, and routers.
Data Center Deployment
Connect MPO-based 40G/100G switches to LC-based server or storage connections in high-density server racks.
Structured Cabling
Use in riser applications to extend MPO backbone cables between floors while providing individual LC connections at each termination point.
Physical Profile
The cable features an aqua-colored jacket that identifies it as OM4 multi-mode fiber, with a green color family classification. The riser-rated OFNR jacket provides fire resistance for vertical installations, while the 6.40 oz (181.44 g) weight ensures manageable handling during deployment.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.40 oz (181.44 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this cable use?
This cable uses OM4 multi-mode fiber with 50/125 µm core/cladding specifications. OM4 fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet over appropriate distances, making it suitable for data center and enterprise backbone connections.
What connectors are on each end of this cable?
One end features a single MPO Network female connector, while the other end has eight LC Network male connectors. This MPO to LC fanout configuration allows you to connect high-density MPO ports to individual LC interfaces commonly found on network equipment and patch panels.
What does 'riser-rated' mean for this cable?
Riser-rated indicates the cable has an OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket that meets fire safety standards for vertical installations in building riser shafts. This rating allows the cable to be run between floors without requiring additional conduit in most building codes.
What is the cable length and weight?
The cable measures 16.4 ft (5 m) in length and weighs approximately 6.40 oz (181.44 g). This length provides sufficient reach for typical rack-to-rack or within-cabinet connections while maintaining manageable weight for installation and cable management.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This fanout cable supports various network devices including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other network equipment with MPO or LC interfaces. It's designed for structured cabling environments where MPO trunk connections need to be broken out to individual device ports.
What warranty comes with this fiber optic cable?
AddOn provides a lifetime limited warranty for this fiber optic cable. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and ensures long-term reliability for your network infrastructure investment, though specific terms should be verified with the manufacturer's documentation.
