Product Description

The MPO Male to LC / MTP Male to LC fiber optic fan-out patch cord is a high-performance fiber optic assembly designed to bridge high-density multi-fiber connections directly to individual single-fiber ports. It is a critical solution for modern networks requiring high performance and high-density space efficiency.
Key Overview: Available in 24 fibers configuration. It is typically designed for installation within MTP/MPO module boxes inside high-density patch panels. The integrated MPO/MTP connector is male (equipped with alignment pins).
Product Specifications
Fiber Count & Type

Applications & Deployment
  • High-Speed Transceiver Integration: Critical for connecting high-speed 40G/100G/400G transceivers (like QSFP+) to existing 10G SFP+ equipment in data centers.
  • Data Center Networks: Perfect for high-speed transmission data centers, AI data centers, and star link centers.
  • Structured Cabling: Highly applicable in Metropolitan Area Networks (Metro), banks, and other enterprise networks.
  • Direct Device-to-Switch Connectivity: Enables direct connection from switches to peripheral equipment.
  • Backbone-to-Device Routing: High-capacity MPO trunk cables (e.g., 24 or 144 fibers) run between racks as a backbone, where fanout cables act as the "bridge" by splitting multi-fiber trunks into individual LC connectors that plug directly into end-user equipment ports.
  • High-Density Patching: Used within fiber enclosures to consolidate multiple duplex LC ports into a single MPO interface, drastically increasing port density. For instance, a 12-fiber MPO to 6x LC duplex fanout allows six separate duplex links to be managed as one single cable unit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the primary function of an MPO Male to LC fan-out patch cord?
This assembly is designed to transition and bridge high-density multi-fiber trunk cables to individual single-fiber ports, allowing seamless connection between multi-fiber networks and standard LC hardware.
Which transceivers can be connected using these fan-out cables?
They are commonly used to connect high-speed transceivers, such as QSFP+ (40G/100G/400G), directly to existing 10G SFP+ equipment inside high-density data center racks.
Why is a Male MPO connector used for these cables?
The MPO Male connector is equipped with alignment pins. This male configuration allows alignment and connection into high-density MTP/MPO modules, which typically host female connectors.
What polarity option is used, and why?
Standard 40G/100G systems typically use Type B (Rollover) polarity. This configuration ensures that transmit-to-receive (Tx to Rx) pathways map properly throughout the fiber path.
Is the cable jacket suitable for indoor/data center use?
Yes, the out-sheath of this patch cord is made of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material, which reduces hazardous emissions in the event of a fire and is ideal for high-density environments.
What optical performance specifications do these cables provide?
They offer Ultra Low Loss, Elite, and Standard insertion loss configurations. Multimode models feature a Return Loss of 35dB, with Insertion Loss for Elite configurations keeping below ≤ 0.35 dB.
