Product Features
Technical Overview
This breakout cable utilizes industry-standard OM4 multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for short to medium-distance high-speed data transmission. The MPO female connector on one end interfaces seamlessly with MPO-based transceivers, cassettes, or backbone cables, while the four LC male connectors on the opposite end connect directly to SFP, SFP+, or QSFP modules in switches, routers, or servers.
The cable is designed to meet rigorous performance standards for insertion loss and return loss, ensuring reliable signal integrity in 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand environments. Its multimode design is cost-effective for distances up to 150 meters with OM4 fiber, supporting data center consolidation and high-performance computing clusters.
Key Product Advantages
This cable simplifies high-density fiber deployments by reducing the need for multiple individual patch cables. The breakout design consolidates four LC connections into a single MPO interface, saving space in cable trays and reducing installation time. The crush-resistant construction protects the fiber core from physical damage during installation or in congested pathways, extending the cable's operational lifespan.
High-Density Connectivity
Enables efficient fan-out from MPO trunks to LC devices, optimizing rack space and simplifying cable management in data centers.
- Reduces cable clutter
- Supports MPO-based high-density systems
Durable Design
The crush-resistant jacket withstands compression in tight spaces, maintaining signal integrity and preventing performance degradation from physical stress.
- Protects fiber core
- Ensures long-term reliability
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is primarily deployed in data center environments where high-density fiber connectivity is required. It is commonly used to connect MPO backbone cables or cassettes to individual LC ports on switches, servers, or storage arrays. The 9-meter length is suitable for intra-rack connections, top-of-rack switching, or short-distance inter-rack links.
Typical applications include 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet networks, Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs), and high-performance computing clusters. The OM4 multimode fiber supports high-speed data transmission over distances up to 150 meters, making it ideal for enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, and telecommunications central offices.

FAQ
What is the purpose of a breakout cable in fiber optic networks?
Breakout cables like this Axiom model enable efficient connectivity between high-density MPO interfaces and individual LC ports. They consolidate multiple connections into a single cable, reducing clutter and simplifying installations in data centers where space optimization is critical.
What applications is this OM4 multimode fiber cable suitable for?
This cable is designed for high-speed data transmission in 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE Ethernet networks, as well as Fibre Channel storage networks. The OM4 grade supports distances up to 150 meters, making it ideal for data center interconnects, server-to-switch links, and storage area networks.
How does the crush-resistant feature benefit installation?
The crush-resistant jacket protects the delicate fiber core from compression damage that can occur in tight cable trays, under floor tiles, or when cables are bundled tightly. This maintains signal integrity and extends the cable's lifespan in demanding physical environments.
What devices typically use the MPO female connector on this cable?
The MPO female connector interfaces with MPO backbone cables, cassettes, or panels commonly found in high-density fiber distribution systems. It connects to MPO ports on fiber enclosures, patch panels, or directly to MPO transceivers in networking equipment.
