Applications

Data Center Switch-to-Server Connectivity

Connect core/aggregation switches with MPO ports to access-layer devices with SC ports, enabling flexible deployment from high-density patch panels to server racks.

MPO Backbone to Legacy Equipment Transition

In environments with deployed MPO structured cabling, provide plug-and-play connectivity for storage devices and servers using traditional SC interfaces.

Inter-Rack Fiber Channel Networks

In SAN storage area networks, branch MPO high-density backbones into multiple SC links connecting fiber switches to storage arrays.

40G/100G to 10G/25G Breakout Applications

Break out a single 40G QSFP+ or 100G QSFP28 port through MPO breakout cable into 4×10G or 4×25G SC connections, improving port utilization efficiency.
