FAQs

What are MPO/MTP breakout cables used for?

MPO/MTP breakout cables, also known as fanout cables, split a single, high-speed multi-fiber connector into multiple individual simplex or duplex connector lines. This allows a single high-density MPO/MTP trunk cable to connect to individual LC or SC equipment ports.

What connector configurations are available for MPO/MTP breakout cables?

MPO/MTP breakout cables are available in MTP/MPO to LC, MTP/MPO to SC, MPO (without pins) to LC, MPO (with pins) to LC, and MPO (with pins) to SC configurations. This range supports breaking out an MPO/MTP trunk to the most common individual connector types used in network equipment.

What is the difference between UPC and APC polish on breakout cable connectors?

UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) and APC (Angled Physical Contact) are two polish types available on the connectors in MPO/MTP breakout cables. Selecting the correct polish type ensures compatibility with the mating equipment port, since UPC and APC connectors are not designed to interconnect.

How many fibers are available in MPO/MTP breakout cables?

MPO/MTP breakout cables feature 8, 12, or 24 fibers. Fiber count selection depends on how many individual LC or SC connections are needed from a single MPO/MTP trunk, supporting different levels of port density.

What is the difference between single-mode and multimode breakout cables?

Single-mode breakout cables use OS2 fiber with a 9/125 micron diameter, suited to longer transmission distances, while multimode breakout cables use OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, or OM5 fiber with a 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron diameter for shorter-reach applications. Selecting between them depends on the transmission distance and equipment requirements of the network.

What jacket options are available for MPO/MTP breakout cables?

MPO/MTP breakout cables feature OFNP (Plenum), OFNR (Riser), or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated jackets. These jacket types support compliance with different building and fire code requirements depending on the installation environment.

What lengths are available for MPO/MTP breakout cables?

MPO/MTP breakout cables are available in lengths of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 50 meters. This range supports both short equipment-to-panel connections and longer runs across a data center or facility.
