Product Features
Technical Overview
This breakout cable utilizes OM4-grade multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, supporting high-speed data rates over its 15-meter length. The MPO female connector on one end interfaces with MPO-based transceivers, switches, or patch panels, while the four LC male connectors on the opposite end provide individual connections to SFP modules, network interface cards, or other LC-terminated equipment.
The cable's design prioritizes durability with a crush-resistant jacket that protects the internal fibers from physical damage during installation or in congested pathways. This construction ensures consistent optical performance and reduces the risk of downtime due to cable failure.
Key Product Advantages
This cable streamlines high-density network deployments by consolidating multiple connections into a single MPO interface, reducing cable clutter and simplifying infrastructure. The OM4 multimode fiber ensures compatibility with high-speed networking standards, supporting applications that require reliable, low-latency data transfer.
High-Density Connectivity
The MPO to 4 LC breakout configuration enables efficient use of rack space and patch panel ports, ideal for data centers or network closets where port density is critical.
- Reduces cable bulk
- Simplifies cable management
- Optimizes rack space
Durable Construction
The crush-resistant jacket provides added protection against physical stress, ensuring the cable maintains performance in demanding installation environments.
- Resists compression damage
- Extends cable lifespan
- Suitable for tight pathways
Deployment / Use Cases
This breakout cable is ideal for connecting MPO-based backbone switches or distribution frames to LC-terminated edge devices in enterprise networks, data centers, or telecommunications installations. Its 15-meter length provides flexibility for intermediate-distance runs between equipment racks or across server room floors.
Common applications include patching between MPO cassettes and SFP+ transceivers in 40GbE or 100GbE networks, linking fiber distribution panels to network switches, or extending connections in high-performance computing environments. The green aqua color aids in visual identification and cable organization within complex infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the purpose of an MPO to LC breakout cable?
An MPO to LC breakout cable connects a single MPO port, commonly used in high-density network equipment, to multiple LC ports. This allows one MPO interface to link to four separate LC-terminated devices, such as SFP modules or network switches, reducing cable bulk and simplifying patching in data centers or enterprise networks.
What does OM4 50/125 µm mean for this fiber optic cable?
OM4 50/125 µm refers to the cable's multimode fiber specification. OM4 is a performance grade that supports high-speed data transmission over longer distances compared to older OM3 or OM2 grades. The 50/125 µm indicates the core diameter (50 micrometers) and cladding diameter (125 micrometers), which is standard for modern multimode fiber, ensuring compatibility with high-bandwidth networking applications.
How does the crush-resistant feature benefit network installations?
The crush-resistant jacket protects the internal fiber strands from physical compression damage that can occur when cables are routed through tight spaces, cable trays, or under heavy loads. This durability maintains signal integrity, reduces the risk of downtime due to cable failure, and extends the cable's lifespan in demanding environments like data centers or industrial settings.
What types of equipment is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with network devices featuring MPO female ports on one end and LC male ports on the other. Typical uses include connecting MPO-based switches, patch panels, or transceivers to LC-terminated SFP modules, network interface cards, or fiber distribution units. It supports standard multimode fiber interfaces without requiring adapters.
