Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes singlemode fiber technology with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for long-distance transmission with high bandwidth capacity. The MPO female connector on one end interfaces with MPO-based transceivers, patch panels, or backbone infrastructure, while the four LC male connectors on the opposite end provide individual connections to SFP, SFP+, or other LC-based network equipment.
The 30-meter length (98.4 feet) offers flexibility in network design, accommodating medium-distance runs between equipment racks, floors, or buildings. Single-mode fiber ensures compatibility with 1310nm and 1550nm wavelength applications commonly used in enterprise and service provider networks.
Key Product Advantages
This breakout cable simplifies high-density fiber deployments by consolidating multiple connections into a single MPO interface, reducing cable clutter and installation time. The 1:4 configuration efficiently distributes optical signals from backbone infrastructure to individual network devices, optimizing rack space and improving airflow management in data center environments.
High-Density Connectivity
The MPO-to-LC breakout design enables connection of four separate devices to a single MPO port, maximizing port utilization in switches, routers, and patch panels while maintaining clean cable management.
- Reduces cable congestion
- Simplifies patching workflows
- Improves rack organization
Durable Construction
Crush-resistant materials protect the delicate fiber cores during installation and in high-traffic areas, ensuring reliable performance in demanding network environments where cables may be subject to physical stress.
- Withstands installation pressures
- Maintains signal integrity
- Extends service life
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO-to-LC breakout cable is specifically designed for environments where high-density fiber connectivity is required. In data centers, it efficiently connects MPO-based backbone cabling to individual server or switch ports using LC connectors, supporting 40G and 100G Ethernet deployments that utilize MPO interfaces for parallel optics.
Enterprise network installations benefit from this cable when connecting fiber distribution frames to workgroup switches or when extending fiber runs between buildings. Telecommunications providers use similar breakout configurations for central office equipment connections, fiber-to-the-premises deployments, and mobile backhaul applications where singlemode fiber is standard.
Data Center Applications
Connect MPO-based spine switches to leaf switches with LC interfaces, or distribute signals from MPO patch panels to individual server NICs in high-performance computing environments.
Enterprise Backbone Extensions
Extend fiber runs between network closets or buildings while breaking out to multiple equipment connections at the destination end, maintaining signal quality over 30-meter distances.

FAQ
What type of fiber does this cable use and what distances does it support?
This cable uses 9/125 µm singlemode fiber, which is designed for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss. Singlemode fiber typically supports distances ranging from hundreds of meters to several kilometers depending on the transceiver power and data rate, making this 30-meter cable suitable for intra-building, inter-floor, and campus backbone applications where reliable signal integrity is required.
How does the MPO to LC breakout configuration work?
The cable has one MPO female connector on one end that contains multiple fibers in a single interface, and four separate LC male connectors on the opposite end. This 1:4 breakout design allows a single MPO port (commonly used for 40G/100G Ethernet) to connect to four individual LC-based devices or ports, distributing optical signals efficiently while reducing cable clutter in high-density network environments like data centers.
What applications is this fiber cable best suited for?
This breakout cable is ideal for data center deployments connecting MPO-based switches to LC-based equipment, enterprise network backbone extensions between buildings, telecommunications central office connections, and any environment requiring high-density fiber distribution. The singlemode fiber and 30-meter length make it particularly suitable for medium-distance runs where signal quality must be maintained for high-speed network protocols.
