FAQ
What is the purpose of this MPO-to-LC breakout cable?
This cable converts a single MPO interface into four separate LC connections, enabling efficient connectivity between high-density network equipment and individual devices. It's designed to reduce cable clutter and simplify installations in data centers and enterprise environments where space optimization is critical.
What type of fiber does this cable use and what speeds does it support?
The cable uses OM3-rated 50/125 µm multimode fiber, which supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed protocols over distances up to 300 meters. This makes it suitable for short to medium-distance applications in modern network infrastructure.
What are the connector types on each end of this cable?
One end features a single MPO Network-Female connector, while the other end has four LC Network-Male connectors. This breakout configuration allows one MPO port to connect to four separate LC ports, providing high-density connectivity in a organized manner.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or harsh environment installations?
While the cable features crush-resistant construction for durability, it's primarily designed for indoor data center and enterprise environments. The green aqua jacket provides protection against typical installation stresses, but it's not rated for outdoor or extreme environmental conditions.
