Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable features a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for multi-mode fiber applications with high bandwidth requirements. The MPO connector on one end provides a compact interface for high-density environments, while the eight LC connectors on the other end offer flexibility for connecting to a variety of network equipment.
The stranded construction enhances durability and flexibility, making it suitable for installations where cable movement or frequent handling is expected. Physical Contact (PC) polishing on the connectors ensures low insertion loss and reliable optical performance, critical for maintaining signal integrity in data centers and enterprise networks.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the purpose of this MPO to LC fanout cable?
This cable converts a single MPO connector into eight LC duplex connectors, enabling efficient connectivity between high-density MPO backbone systems and LC-based network equipment like patch panels or switches. It simplifies cabling in data centers by reducing the number of individual patch cables needed.
What type of fiber does this cable use, and what are its capabilities?
It uses OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. OM4 fiber supports high-bandwidth applications, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 550 meters, making it suitable for modern data center and enterprise network environments.
Is this cable suitable for riser installations?
Yes, the cable features a riser-rated jacket, which means it complies with fire safety standards for vertical runs between floors in buildings. This makes it appropriate for use in riser applications without requiring additional conduit in many cases.
What devices are compatible with this fiber optic cable?
It is designed to support a range of network devices, including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other network equipment. The MPO end connects to MPO interfaces, while the LC ends connect to LC ports, facilitating interoperability in mixed-connector environments.
What does the 'fanout' design mean for this cable?
The fanout design refers to the cable splitting from one MPO connector into eight separate LC duplex connectors. This allows a single high-density MPO connection to branch out to multiple LC connections, optimizing space and reducing cable management complexity in racks and enclosures.
What warranty does this AddOn cable come with?
This cable includes a lifetime limited warranty, providing long-term assurance against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty supports reliable deployment in critical network infrastructure, offering peace of mind for IT professionals.
