Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic breakout cable utilizes industry-standard single-mode fiber with 9/125 µm core/cladding specifications, delivering high bandwidth capacity suitable for demanding network applications. The MPO female connector supports multi-fiber connections in a compact interface, while the four LC male connectors offer compatibility with a wide range of network equipment including switches, routers, and transceivers.
The cable construction incorporates crush-resistant materials that protect the delicate fiber cores from physical damage during installation and maintenance. This durability ensures consistent performance even in challenging deployment environments where cables may be subject to compression or bending stresses.
Key Product Advantages
This breakout cable simplifies network architecture by converting MPO trunk connections to individual LC ports, reducing the need for multiple separate patch cables and consolidation points. The design streamlines cable management while maintaining signal quality across all four channels.
Efficient Connectivity
The 1:4 breakout configuration allows a single MPO connection to interface with four separate network devices or ports, optimizing rack space and reducing cable clutter in dense network environments.
- MPO to LC conversion
- Four independent channels
- Space-efficient design
Durable Construction
Crush-resistant materials protect the internal fiber strands from physical damage that could compromise signal transmission, ensuring reliable performance throughout the cable's service life.
- Physical protection
- Long-term reliability
- Installation durability
Deployment / Use Cases
This breakout cable is ideal for data center environments where MPO backbone systems require connection to LC-terminated equipment. The 26.2-foot length accommodates various rack configurations while maintaining proper bend radius for optimal signal performance.
Common applications include connecting MPO-based fiber distribution panels to LC ports on network switches, linking high-density MPO cassettes to individual server connections, and extending MPO trunk cables to multiple network devices in enterprise environments. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification for fiber cable management and troubleshooting.

FAQ
What is the purpose of this MPO to LC breakout cable?
This cable converts a single MPO female connection into four separate LC male connections, allowing MPO-based backbone systems to interface with multiple LC-terminated network devices. It simplifies infrastructure by reducing the need for multiple individual patch cables between MPO distribution points and equipment ports.
What does single-mode 9/125 µm fiber mean?
Single-mode fiber has a core diameter of 9 micrometers and cladding diameter of 125 micrometers, designed to carry a single light mode for minimal signal dispersion over longer distances. This 9/125 µm specification provides higher bandwidth and lower attenuation compared to multimode fiber, making it suitable for data center and enterprise network applications.
How does the crush-resistant feature benefit installation?
The crush-resistant construction protects the delicate glass fiber strands inside the cable from physical compression that could cause micro-bends or breaks in the fiber. This durability ensures reliable signal transmission during installation when cables may be routed through tight spaces or subjected to pressure from other equipment, and throughout the cable's operational life in dense network environments.
What network devices is this cable compatible with?
This breakout cable is compatible with network devices featuring MPO or LC fiber optic interfaces, including switches, routers, transceivers, and fiber distribution panels. The MPO female end connects to MPO male ports on backbone systems, while the four LC male ends interface with standard LC ports commonly found on network equipment across enterprise and data center environments.
