Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable uses OM4-grade multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for high-bandwidth applications like 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE over short to medium distances. The MPO/UPC female connector on one end interfaces with MPO-based transceivers, switches, or backbone cabling, while the eight LC/UPC male duplex connectors on the other end provide individual connections to SFP+ modules, media converters, or patch panels.
The riser-rated OFNR jacket meets fire safety standards for vertical runs between floors, and the cable lacks shielding, making it suitable for typical indoor data center and office deployments. With a weight of approximately 14.40 oz (408.23 g), it remains lightweight for easy handling during installation.
Key Product Advantages

Converts one MPO port into eight LC connections, ideal for aggregating multiple links from switches, routers, or media converters into a compact MPO backbone.
- Reduces cable bulk
- Simplifies patch panel management
- Supports 40GbE/100GbE architectures
OM4 Performance
Uses OM4 multi-mode fiber for enhanced bandwidth and distance capabilities compared to OM3, ensuring future-proofing for evolving network speeds.
- 50/125 µm core
- Low attenuation
- Compatible with 10GbE to 100GbE
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is engineered for data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks where MPO-based trunk cables are used to connect to LC-based equipment. It facilitates efficient cabling in high-density environments, reducing installation time and improving airflow management.
Common applications include connecting MPO backbone cables to LC patch panels in structured cabling systems, linking MPO ports on core switches to LC-based SFP+ transceivers in access switches, and integrating with media converters for fiber-to-copper transitions. It supports devices such as patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other network equipment, making it a versatile solution for modern network infrastructure.
Data Center Cabling
Deploy in rack-to-rack or intra-rack scenarios to break out MPO trunks into individual LC connections for servers, storage, or networking gear.
- Riser-rated for vertical runs
- Aqua color for easy identification
- Stranded for flexibility
Network Upgrades
Use during migrations to higher-speed networks where OM4 fiber and MPO connectivity are required to support increased bandwidth demands.
- Backward compatible with OM3
- Physical contact connectors for reliability
- Fan-out reduces cable count
Physical Profile
The cable features an aqua-colored jacket, which is standard for OM4 multi-mode fiber, aiding in quick visual identification during installation and maintenance. With a length of 82 feet (25 meters), it provides ample reach for typical data center and office layouts, while the riser-rated OFNR jacket ensures compliance with fire safety codes for vertical installations. The approximate weight of 14.40 oz (408.23 g) makes it manageable for technicians to handle without strain.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this cable use?
This cable uses OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. OM4 fiber is designed for high-bandwidth applications, supporting data rates up to 100GbE over short to medium distances, and offers better performance than OM3 fiber for future network upgrades.
What connectors are on each end of the cable?
One end has a single MPO/UPC female connector, which interfaces with MPO-based equipment like backbone cables or transceivers. The other end has eight LC/UPC male duplex connectors, providing individual connections to LC-based ports on patch panels, switches, or media converters.
What is the cable length and jacket rating?
The cable is 82 feet (25 meters) long, offering ample reach for typical installations. It features a riser-rated OFNR jacket, which meets fire safety standards for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings, ensuring compliance with building codes.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable supports a wide range of network devices, including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other network equipment. It is ideal for connecting MPO-based systems to LC-based ports in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks.
