Product Features
Technical Overview
This breakout cable utilizes singlemode fiber optic technology, optimized for long-range data transmission with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification. The MPO female connector on one end interfaces with compatible MPO-based equipment, while the four LC male connectors on the opposite end provide individual connections to LC-compatible devices.
The cable features a crush-resistant design that protects the delicate fiber cores from physical damage during installation and maintenance. This construction ensures consistent performance even in demanding environments where cables may be subject to pressure or bending.
Key Product Advantages
This breakout cable simplifies fiber optic deployments by consolidating multiple connections into a single, manageable cable assembly. The MPO-to-LC configuration reduces the need for multiple individual patch cables, saving installation time and reducing potential points of failure in your network infrastructure.
Connection Efficiency
The 1:4 breakout design allows one MPO port to connect to four separate LC devices, optimizing port utilization and reducing cable clutter in high-density environments.
- Consolidates multiple connections
- Reduces cable management complexity
- Maximizes equipment port usage
Durability Assurance
With crush-resistant construction and a lifetime warranty, this cable is built to withstand the rigors of professional installations while providing long-term reliability for critical network connections.
- Protected fiber cores
- Long-term performance guarantee
- Professional-grade durability
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO-to-LC breakout cable is ideal for connecting MPO-based fiber distribution panels to LC-based network equipment such as switches, routers, and media converters. The 19.7 ft length makes it suitable for both rack-to-rack connections and within-rack patching in data center environments.
Common applications include expanding fiber backbone connections, implementing structured cabling systems, and upgrading existing network infrastructure to support higher bandwidth requirements. The singlemode fiber ensures compatibility with long-distance transmission standards used in metropolitan area networks and telecommunications backbones.
Data Center Patching
Connect MPO trunk cables from fiber distribution frames to individual LC ports on network switches, enabling efficient fiber channel distribution throughout server racks and network cabinets.
Network Upgrades
Facilitate migration from older fiber connections to modern MPO-based infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with existing LC-terminated equipment during phased upgrades.

FAQ
What is the purpose of an MPO-to-LC breakout cable?
This breakout cable converts a single MPO connector into four separate LC connections, allowing you to connect MPO-based fiber distribution equipment to multiple LC-terminated devices. It simplifies cabling in high-density environments by reducing the number of individual patch cables needed while maintaining signal integrity across all connections.
What does 9/125 µm singlemode fiber mean?
The 9/125 µm specification refers to the fiber core and cladding diameters. The 9-micron core is designed for singlemode transmission, which allows light to travel in a single path for minimal signal dispersion over long distances. This makes the cable ideal for backbone connections, telecommunications links, and other applications requiring high bandwidth across extended ranges.
How does the crush-resistant feature benefit installation?
The crush-resistant construction protects the delicate glass fiber cores from damage when the cable is routed through tight spaces, cable trays, or when subjected to pressure from other cables or equipment. This durability ensures consistent optical performance and reduces the risk of signal degradation or complete failure that can occur with standard cables in demanding installation environments.
What network devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is designed for use with standard network equipment featuring MPO or LC fiber interfaces. It connects MPO-based fiber distribution panels, cassette modules, or trunk cables to LC-based switches, routers, media converters, and other network devices. The singlemode fiber ensures compatibility with equipment operating at various data rates for Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and telecommunications applications.
