Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes singlemode fiber optic technology with a core/cladding diameter of 9/125 micrometers, optimized for low attenuation and high signal integrity over extended distances. The MPO female connector on one end provides a secure interface to MPO-based transceivers, patch panels, or backbone cables, while the four LC male connectors on the opposite end deliver reliable connections to SFP, SFP+, or other LC-based optical modules.
Key Product Advantages
This breakout cable streamlines network infrastructure by reducing the need for multiple individual patch cables and additional MPO-LC cassettes or modules. Its crush-resistant construction ensures physical durability in tight cable management scenarios, while the bright yellow jacket aids in quick visual identification and differentiation from multimode or other cable types.
Efficient Fan-Out Design
The MPO-to-4-LC configuration allows one high-density MPO port to serve four separate LC connections, optimizing rack space and simplifying cable runs in dense network environments.
- Reduces cable clutter
- Minimizes connection points
- Supports structured cabling standards
Reliable Singlemode Performance
With 9/125 µm singlemode fiber, this cable supports high-speed data transmission over longer distances compared to multimode alternatives, making it ideal for backbone links, inter-building connections, and high-bandwidth applications.
- Low signal attenuation
- High bandwidth capacity
- Long-distance compatibility
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is engineered for network environments where MPO trunk cables or modules need to interface with LC-based equipment. Common applications include connecting MPO backbone cables to LC SFP/SFP+ transceivers in switches, routers, or servers, or extending MPO links to multiple LC-terminated devices in data center racks.
Typical use cases include data center interconnects, telecommunications central offices, enterprise network distribution frames, and any installation requiring efficient fan-out from high-density MPO interfaces to standard LC ports. The 20-meter length provides flexibility for moderate-distance runs within server rooms, between adjacent racks, or across building floors.

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 standard LC connections. This allows you to connect MPO backbone cables or modules to individual LC-based equipment like switches, routers, or transceivers, simplifying cabling in data centers and network rooms by reducing the need for additional adapters or cassettes.
What does 9/125 µm singlemode fiber mean?
9/125 µm refers to the core and cladding diameters of the fiber optic cable. The 9-micrometer core is designed for singlemode transmission, where light travels in a single path, enabling low attenuation and high bandwidth over long distances. The 125-micrometer cladding surrounds and protects the core. This specification is standard for long-haul and high-speed network applications.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with network devices that support MPO and LC connectors. The MPO female end connects to MPO ports on patch panels, backbone cables, or transceivers. The four LC male ends connect to LC ports on SFP, SFP+, or similar optical modules in switches, routers, servers, or media converters. It is designed for general network device use in structured cabling systems.
Why is the cable yellow?
The yellow jacket is a standard industry color for singlemode fiber optic cables, helping to quickly distinguish them from multimode cables (often orange or aqua) or other cable types. This color-coding aids installers and technicians in visual identification during installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, reducing errors in complex network environments.
