Product Features
Technical Overview
This fanout cable features a 1x MPO female connector on one end and eight LC male duplex connectors on the other, providing a direct MPO-to-LC conversion without intermediate adapters. The OM3 fiber category supports data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances suitable for most enterprise applications.
The cable uses stranded construction for flexibility during installation, and the laser-optimized fiber ensures compatibility with high-performance optical transceivers. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material enhances safety in enclosed spaces by minimizing smoke and toxic halogen emissions during a fire.
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.
Key Product Advantages
The aqua color provides quick visual identification as OM3 multimode fiber, while the OFNR riser-rated jacket meets safety standards for vertical runs between floors. This cable is fully compatible with network devices using MPO or LC interfaces, offering a plug-and-play solution for expanding connectivity.
High-Density Breakout
Efficiently distributes a single MPO connection to eight LC ports, reducing cable clutter and simplifying patching in data centers and network closets.
Reliable Signal Integrity
Physical Contact (PC) polished connectors and laser-optimized OM3 fiber maintain low insertion loss and high return loss for stable data transmission.
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for environments where MPO backbone infrastructure needs to interface with LC-terminated active equipment. The 20-meter length provides flexibility for runs within server rooms, between adjacent racks, or across moderate-distance links.
Common applications include data center expansions, network upgrades, and installations requiring breakout from high-count MPO cables to individual LC connections. The riser-rated jacket allows safe use in vertical shafts, while the LSZH material suits spaces with strict fire safety requirements.
Data Center MPO Backbone Extension
Connect MPO-based fiber trunks to LC-based switches, servers, or storage arrays in high-density rack environments.
Network Equipment Interconnection
Link MPO modules on core switches to LC ports on access switches or media converters in enterprise networks.

FAQ
What is the cable length and connector configuration?
This cable is 20 meters (65.6 feet) long with one MPO female connector on one end and eight LC male duplex connectors on the other end. It functions as a fanout cable, breaking out a single MPO connection into eight individual LC connections for high-density network environments.
What type of fiber and category does this cable use?
The cable uses OM3 50/125µm laser-optimized multimode fiber. OM3 fiber supports data rates up to 10 Gbps and is designed for use with 850nm VCSEL sources, making it suitable for most enterprise and data center applications requiring high bandwidth over moderate distances.
Is this cable shielded and what jacket ratings does it have?
The cable is unshielded. The jacket is rated OFNR, Plenum, LSZH, and Riser, meaning it meets safety standards for use in riser spaces (vertical runs between floors), plenum spaces (air-handling areas), and features Low Smoke Zero Halogen materials that minimize smoke and toxic emissions in fire conditions.
What does the aqua color indicate?
The aqua color identifies the cable as containing OM3 multimode fiber. This color coding follows industry standards, allowing quick visual identification of fiber type during installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting in network environments with multiple cable types.
What is Physical Contact (PC) polishing and why is it important?
Physical Contact (PC) polishing refers to the connector end-face geometry that ensures minimal air gap between mating fibers. This reduces back reflection and insertion loss, improving signal integrity and stability in optical links. PC polishing is standard for multimode applications like this OM3 cable.
What warranty and compliance does this cable offer?
The cable comes with a 3-year limited warranty from AddOn. It is manufactured in the United States but is not TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. The LSZH jacket and riser/plenum ratings provide compliance with fire safety standards for commercial installations.
