Product Features
Technical Overview
This fanout cable features a single MPO female connector on one end and eight LC male connectors on the other, enabling a 1:4 breakout configuration for duplex LC connections. The MPO connector uses UPC polishing for low insertion loss, while the LC connectors offer compact, secure mating with physical contact (PC) ferrals.
The stranded fiber construction enhances flexibility and durability, making it suitable for tight bends and repeated handling in patch panels and equipment racks. With no shielding required for typical indoor use, the cable maintains signal integrity across its 23-foot length.
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.

Deployment / Use Cases
This fanout cable is ideal for data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks where MPO trunk cables need to interface with LC-based equipment. It supports connections to network devices, patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, and routers, facilitating seamless integration in structured cabling systems.
Common applications include linking MPO modules in fiber distribution frames to LC ports on switches, extending backbone links to workgroup switches, and enabling media conversion between different connector types. The riser-rated jacket allows safe installation in vertical risers and air-handling spaces, complying with building codes for indoor use.
Data Center Patching
Use to connect MPO trunk cables from backbone switches to LC ports on top-of-rack switches, simplifying cable management and reducing patch cord clutter.
Media Converter Integration
Facilitate connections between MPO-based fiber links and LC-based media converters, supporting protocol conversion and distance extension in hybrid networks.
Physical Profile
The cable features a lightweight design at 6.40 ounces, with a flexible aqua-colored OFNR riser-rated jacket that resists flame propagation and smoke emission. Its 23-foot length provides ample reach for typical rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections, while the compact LC connectors ensure easy insertion in high-density patch panels.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the purpose of this MPO to LC fanout cable?
This cable converts a single MPO trunk connection into four duplex LC connections, allowing high-density MPO backbone systems to interface with standard LC-based network equipment like switches, routers, and media converters. It simplifies cable management in data centers and enterprise networks by reducing the number of individual patch cords needed.
What type of fiber does this cable use, and what are its capabilities?
The cable uses OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. OM4 fiber supports data rates up to 100 Gb/s over short distances, typically up to 150 meters for 40G/100G Ethernet, making it suitable for high-speed data center and backbone applications. It is backward compatible with OM3 and OM2 fibers.
What does the riser-rated OFNR jacket mean for installation?
The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket indicates the cable is rated for use in vertical riser applications and plenum spaces where fire safety is critical. It resists flame propagation and limits smoke emission, complying with building codes for indoor installations in air-handling areas like ducts and ceilings.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable supports connections to a wide range of network devices, including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, and routers. It is designed for use in structured cabling systems where MPO interfaces need to break out to LC ports, commonly found in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network infrastructures.
What is the warranty on this AddOn fiber cable?
AddOn provides a lifetime limited warranty for this cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty ensures long-term reliability and support, though it does not cover damage from misuse or improper installation. Always refer to the manufacturer's warranty terms for specific details.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
No, this cable is not TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, as it is manufactured in China. TAA compliance requires products to be made in designated countries for U.S. government procurement, so this cable may not be suitable for federal contracts or projects requiring TAA-certified materials.
