Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for OM4 applications that demand high bandwidth and low attenuation. The MPO/UPC female connector on one end provides a compact, high-density interface, while the eight LC/UPC male connectors on the other end offer standard duplex connectivity for easy integration with SFP+ transceivers, media converters, and patch panels. The riser-rated OFNR jacket meets fire safety standards for vertical runs between floors, adding deployment flexibility.
With no shielding required for typical indoor environments, the cable maintains signal integrity through its stranded design, which enhances flexibility and resistance to bending stress. The aqua color coding aligns with industry standards for OM4 multi-mode fiber, aiding quick identification in complex cable management systems.
Key Product Advantages
This fanout cable streamlines fiber network deployments by reducing the need for multiple individual patch cables, saving time and minimizing clutter in high-density racks. Its precise connector alignment and physical contact polishing ensure reliable optical performance with minimal signal loss, critical for maintaining network throughput in demanding applications.
High-Density Breakout
Converts one MPO port to four LC duplex pairs, optimizing space in crowded network cabinets and simplifying cable management.
- Reduces cable bulk
- Enables efficient MPO-to-LC transitions
Riser-Rated Safety
The OFNR jacket complies with riser-rated fire codes, allowing safe installation in vertical shafts and between building floors.
- Meets fire safety standards
- Suitable for inter-floor runs
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for data center environments where MPO backbone cables need to connect to LC-based equipment such as switches, routers, or media converters. The fanout design is particularly useful in high-density patching scenarios, such as in SAN (Storage Area Network) setups or telecommunications hubs, where space optimization and reliable fiber management are priorities.
Common applications include extending fiber links in enterprise networks, connecting MPO trunks to LC transceivers in server racks, and facilitating upgrades to higher-speed OM4 infrastructure. Its riser-rated jacket makes it suitable for vertical installations in office buildings or multi-story facilities, supporting both new builds and retrofit projects.
