Product Features
Technical Overview
This breakout cable features a precise MPO female connector on one end and four LC male connectors on the other, enabling a single MPO port to connect to multiple LC interfaces. The 49.2-foot length offers flexibility in rack-to-rack or within-rack deployments without excessive slack.
OM3 multimode fiber supports data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances suitable for most enterprise applications. The 50/125 µm fiber geometry is industry-standard for balanced modal bandwidth and low attenuation.
Key Product Advantages
This cable simplifies fiber infrastructure by converting MPO trunks to individual LC connections, reducing the need for additional patch panels or cassettes. The breakout design maintains signal quality across all four channels with consistent performance.
Durability
The crush-resistant construction protects the fiber core from physical damage during installation or in high-density environments.
- Withstands compression
- Maintains bend radius
- Long-term reliability
Compatibility
Designed for network devices supporting MPO and LC interfaces, ensuring broad interoperability in standard fiber optic systems.
- MPO equipment ports
- LC transceivers
- OM3 infrastructure
Deployment / Use Cases
This breakout cable is ideal for data centers implementing parallel optics or high-density fiber patching. It connects MPO-based backbone cables to LC-terminated switches, servers, or storage arrays.
Common applications include SAN extensions, network aggregation links, and structured cabling systems where MPO-to-LC conversion is required. The 49.2-foot length accommodates typical rack elevations and overhead cable routing.
Data Center Patching
Use between MPO trunk cables and LC patch panels to distribute connections across multiple devices without intermediate components.
Equipment Interconnection
Connect MPO ports on core switches or directors to LC ports on access switches or server NICs for simplified fiber channel deployment.

FAQ
What is the purpose of an MPO to LC breakout cable?
This cable converts a single MPO connector into multiple LC connections, allowing MPO-based fiber trunks to interface with LC-terminated equipment. It eliminates the need for separate MPO cassettes or patch panels, simplifying fiber channel distribution in data centers and enterprise networks.
What does OM3 multimode fiber mean for this cable?
OM3 indicates the cable meets specifications for laser-optimized 50/125 µm multimode fiber capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters. This grade ensures reliable high-speed data transmission with low attenuation, making it suitable for most enterprise and data center applications.
How durable is the crush-resistant feature?
The crush-resistant jacket protects the internal fiber from physical compression that could damage the core or affect signal integrity. This construction maintains performance in tight cable bundles, under floor tiles, or in environments where cables may experience incidental pressure during installation or maintenance.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable works with any network equipment supporting MPO female ports and LC male interfaces, including switches, routers, servers, and storage arrays with appropriate fiber optic transceivers. It is designed for standard multimode fiber infrastructure without requiring special adapters or configuration.
