Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes single-mode fiber technology with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for long-haul transmission with high bandwidth capacity. The MPO female connector provides a multi-fiber interface that consolidates four individual fiber strands into a single compact connector, while the four LC male connectors deliver standard duplex connectivity for patch panels, switches, and other network devices.
The cable construction includes crush-resistant materials that protect the delicate fiber strands from physical damage during installation and routine handling. This durability ensures reliable performance in demanding environments where cables may be subject to pressure, bending, or accidental impact.
Key Product Advantages
This breakout cable simplifies network architecture by reducing the number of individual patch cables needed for MPO to LC conversions. The integrated design eliminates multiple connection points that could introduce signal loss or failure points, providing a more reliable and cleaner installation.
High-Density Connectivity
The MPO connector supports multiple fibers in a small footprint, enabling efficient use of rack space in data centers and network closets where density is critical.
- Consolidates 4 fibers into one MPO interface
- Reduces cable clutter in tight spaces
- Simplifies cable management
Durable Construction
Crush-resistant materials protect the internal fiber strands from damage during installation and maintenance, ensuring long-term reliability in active network environments.
- Withstands physical pressure
- Maintains signal integrity under stress
- Extended service life
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO to LC breakout cable is specifically designed for environments where MPO-based equipment needs to connect to LC-based infrastructure. Common applications include data center interconnects where high-density MPO trunks connect to individual LC ports on switches or patch panels.
The 29.5-foot length makes it suitable for moderate-distance runs within server rooms, between racks, or across network closets. The yellow color provides clear visual identification in complex cable management systems, helping technicians quickly distinguish fiber types and connections during installation and troubleshooting.

FAQ
What type of fiber does this cable use?
This cable uses single-mode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification. Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for backbone connections, data center interconnects, and telecommunications applications where signals need to travel extended distances without degradation.
How many connections does this breakout cable provide?
The cable provides one MPO female connector on one end that breaks out to four separate LC male connectors on the other end. This configuration allows a single MPO interface to connect to four individual LC ports, reducing the need for multiple separate patch cables and simplifying high-density network installations.
What is the cable length and why is it important?
The cable is 29.5 feet long, which provides sufficient reach for typical network deployments between racks, within server rooms, or across network closets. This length offers flexibility in routing while maintaining signal integrity, allowing technicians to avoid tight bends or excessive strain that could damage the fiber strands or degrade performance.
What does crush-resistant construction mean for this cable?
Crush-resistant construction means the cable is built with materials that protect the internal fiber strands from physical compression damage. This is particularly important in network environments where cables may be routed through crowded cable trays, under floor tiles, or in areas where equipment might accidentally apply pressure to the cable, ensuring long-term reliability and signal integrity.
