Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes OM3 multimode technology, which supports data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances suitable for most enterprise and data center applications. The 50/125 µm fiber geometry balances performance with compatibility across a wide range of optical transceivers and network equipment.
The MPO connector interface provides a multi-fiber solution that consolidates multiple connections into a single compact connector, reducing cable clutter and simplifying high-density patching. The flame-retardant jacket material meets safety standards for installation in plenum spaces and other regulated environments.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines robust construction with practical features that enhance network reliability and installation efficiency. The locking latch mechanism provides positive engagement that prevents accidental disconnection during maintenance or equipment movement.
Secure Connections
The MPO locking latch maintains consistent optical alignment and prevents vibration-induced signal degradation in rack-mounted environments.
- Positive latching mechanism
- Vibration resistance
- Consistent optical performance
Safety Compliance
Flame-retardant materials and environmentally friendly construction ensure compliance with modern data center safety and sustainability requirements.
- Plenum-rated safety
- Reduced toxic emissions
- Sustainable manufacturing
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO female-to-male cable is specifically designed for connecting MPO-based network equipment where gender conversion is required. Typical applications include linking MPO patch panels to transceiver modules, connecting parallel optics interfaces, and establishing backbone links between network switches and storage arrays.
The 39.4-foot length provides flexibility for routing within server racks, between adjacent cabinets, or across moderate distances in data center environments. The multimode OM3 specification makes it ideal for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 16G Fibre Channel, and other high-speed protocols common in enterprise storage and networking infrastructure.
Data Center Backbone
Connect core switches to distribution layers or link storage area network (SAN) equipment with consistent high-bandwidth performance.
High-Density Patching
Utilize the MPO interface for efficient fiber management in high-port-count environments where space optimization is critical.

FAQ
What is the difference between MPO female and MPO male connectors?
MPO female connectors have alignment pins, while MPO male connectors have alignment holes. This cable features one female connector and one male connector, allowing it to connect equipment with opposite gender interfaces without requiring additional adapters or gender changers.
What network equipment is compatible with this fiber optic cable?
This cable is designed for network devices with MPO interfaces, including switches, routers, transceivers, and patch panels that support multimode fiber. It's commonly used in data centers for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other high-speed networking applications that utilize MPO connectivity.
What does the OM3 rating mean for this fiber cable?
OM3 is a laser-optimized multimode fiber specification that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission up to 300 meters. This rating ensures the cable delivers sufficient bandwidth for modern high-speed networks while maintaining signal integrity over its 39.4-foot length.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installation?
This cable is designed for indoor use in controlled environments like data centers and enterprise networks. While it features flame-retardant materials for plenum safety, it doesn't include the moisture resistance or UV protection required for outdoor deployment.
