Core Features
Pre-Terminated Plug-and-Play Solution
Factory terminated and tested, no splicing or polishing required on-site, 30-second rack deployment that eliminates field termination errors and reduces labor costs.
Flexible Density Conversion Architecture
Single MPO connector fans out to 4 or 6 LC duplex connectors, enabling seamless transition from high-density backbone to legacy equipment while maximizing cabinet space utilization.
Ultra-Low Insertion Loss Guarantee
≤0.35dB per connection point, ≤1.5dB end-to-end channel loss, ensuring 40G/100G long-distance transmission stability with sufficient link budget headroom.
Factory-Grade Quality Inspection
3D interferometer endface inspection, bidirectional IL/RL testing, and fiber continuity verification; each cable ships with serialized test data for complete traceability.
Multi-Scenario Jacket Options
LSZH meets stringent fire safety requirements for equipment rooms, OFNP suitable for plenum spaces, outdoor armored version supports inter-building campus cabling.
Modular Upgrade Path
Supports smooth evolution from 10G to 40G to 100G networks; single 12-fiber cable can be flexibly configured for 3×40G or 1×100G applications without infrastructure replacement.
Application Scenarios
Data Center Server Connectivity
Direct connection from MPO-based structured cabling trunk panels to legacy servers or storage devices with LC interfaces, eliminating the need for intermediate patch panels and reducing insertion loss by up to 0.5dB per link.
01
Switch-to-Equipment Breakout
Top-of-rack or end-of-row switches with MPO uplink ports connecting to multiple 10G SFP+ devices through individual LC ports, maximizing port density utilization while maintaining flexible equipment connectivity.
02
Migration from Duplex to MPO Infrastructure
Provides gradual network upgrade path allowing existing LC-equipped active equipment to interface with new high-density MPO backbone cabling without forklift replacement of end devices.
03
Test and Measurement Applications
Laboratory and network testing scenarios where MPO test reference cords need to interface with LC-based testing equipment, optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDRs), or insertion loss test sets.
04
Modular Data Center Pods
Pre-cabled solution for containerized or modular data center deployments where space constraints demand high-density trunk cabling combined with rapid equipment connection capabilities.
