Core Features

Factory Pre-Terminated Design

Each cable assembly arrives fully tested with precision-polished connectors, eliminating on-site termination labor and reducing installation time by up to 80% compared to field-terminated solutions

Low Insertion Loss Performance

Every connector pair tested to meet ≤0.35dB insertion loss specification, ensuring reliable 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 transmission with margin for future network upgrades.

OM4 Laser-Optimized Fiber

Supports 40G transmission up to 150 meters and 100G up to 100 meters, providing bandwidth capacity for current 40G deployments and seamless migration to 100G infrastructure.

Flexible Breakout Architecture

Compact MPO trunk transitions to individual SC duplex legs with strain-relief boots and clear port labeling, simplifying moves-adds-changes in structured cabling environments.

Multiple Jacket Options

LSZH plenum-rated jackets for in-building compliance, OFNP for riser applications, and ruggedized outdoor options available to match specific installation requirements.

Comprehensive Quality Assurance

100% factory inspection using automated interferometry for end-face geometry and insertion/return loss testing per IEC standards, with test reports available upon request.

Application Scenarios

High-Density Patch Panel Connections

Deploy from MPO-based cassettes or adapter panels to equipment ports requiring individual SC duplex interfaces, commonly used in legacy equipment integration or gradual migration strategies.

Structured Cabling Breakout Points

Serve as transition points in horizontal or backbone cabling where high-fiber-count MPO trunks distribute to lower-density SC connections at intermediate distribution frames or equipment rows.

40G to 10G Breakout Applications

Enable a single 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ port to fan out to four independent 10GBASE-SR SFP+ connections, supporting disaggregated switching architectures and flexible port allocation.

Modular Data Center Builds

Facilitate zone-based cabling strategies where MPO trunk infrastructure provides the backbone, and breakout cables allow customized last-meter connections to specific server or storage equipment.

Test and Measurement Setups

Provide convenient access to individual fiber pairs from MPO test reference cables, enabling per-fiber characterization and troubleshooting in qualification and acceptance testing procedures.
