Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes OM3-grade multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications up to 300 meters. The MPO female connector on the first end interfaces with MPO-based transceivers, patch panels, or backbone cables, while the four LC male connectors on the second end connect directly to SFP, SFP+, or other LC-based network equipment.
The 30-meter (98.4-foot) length provides flexibility in network design, accommodating typical distances between distribution frames and end devices. The cable's construction ensures low insertion loss and high return loss, maintaining signal integrity across the entire length.
Key Product Advantages
This breakout cable simplifies network architecture by converting a single MPO connection into four individual LC connections, reducing the need for multiple patch cables and adapters. The OM3 multimode fiber ensures compatibility with existing 10G infrastructure while providing headroom for future upgrades.
High-Density Connectivity
The MPO to LC breakout design maximizes port utilization in high-density environments, allowing one MPO port to serve four LC devices efficiently.
- Reduces cable clutter
- Simplifies cable management
- Optimizes rack space
Durable Construction
The crush-resistant jacket protects the fiber cores from physical damage during installation and maintenance, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding network environments.
- Withstands compression
- Resists bending stress
- Maintains performance
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is specifically designed for network environments where MPO backbone infrastructure needs to connect to LC-terminated equipment. Common applications include connecting MPO-based fiber distribution panels to LC-based switches, routers, or servers in data centers and enterprise network closets.
The 30-meter length makes it suitable for intermediate-distance runs between equipment racks, while the OM3 multimode fiber ensures compatibility with 10GbE, 16G Fibre Channel, and other high-speed protocols. The green jacket provides visual identification in complex cable bundles, aiding in troubleshooting and maintenance.
Data Center Interconnect
Connect MPO backbone cables to LC-based top-of-rack switches, enabling efficient aggregation of server connections in modern data center architectures.
Network Expansion
Extend existing MPO infrastructure to new LC-based equipment without replacing entire cable runs, providing a cost-effective upgrade path for growing networks.

FAQ
What is the purpose of an MPO to LC breakout cable?
An MPO to LC breakout cable converts a single high-density MPO connection into multiple individual LC connections. This allows you to connect MPO-based backbone infrastructure (like fiber distribution panels or trunk cables) to LC-based network equipment (such as switches, routers, or servers) without needing separate adapters or multiple patch cables. It simplifies cable management and maximizes port utilization in data centers and enterprise networks.
What does OM3 50/125 µm mean for this fiber optic cable?
OM3 refers to the laser-optimized multimode fiber grade that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission up to 300 meters. The 50/125 µm specification indicates the fiber core diameter is 50 micrometers and the cladding diameter is 125 micrometers. This particular fiber geometry is optimized for use with 850nm VCSEL light sources commonly used in high-speed multimode applications, providing excellent bandwidth performance for data center and enterprise network environments.
What network devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with network devices that support MPO and/or LC fiber optic connections. The MPO female end connects to MPO-based transceivers, patch panels, or backbone cables, while the four LC male ends connect to SFP, SFP+, or other LC-based network interfaces. It's designed for use with switches, routers, servers, storage arrays, and other network equipment in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network environments.
How does the crush-resistant feature benefit installation?
The crush-resistant jacket protects the delicate fiber cores from physical damage during installation and throughout the cable's service life. This is particularly important in dense network environments where cables may be subjected to compression from cable ties, stacking in trays, or accidental impacts. The enhanced durability reduces the risk of signal degradation or complete failure due to physical stress, ensuring reliable performance in demanding installations.
