Struggling with cramped rack space and the need for high-density fibre connections? The Cablenet MPO-F-4LCDX-OS2-03M 3m OS2 8xLC Breakout Cable converts a single MPO port into eight duplex LC ports, letting you route many links through a tiny footprint and keep your data centre tidy and efficient.
Key Features of a 3 m Breakout Cable
- Cable / Technology: Fiber optic. Provides ultra-fast, reliable data transmission over long distances.
- Cable / Right Connector Type: LC/UPC duplex. Ensures low-loss, high-precision connections at each end.
- Cable / Left Connector Type: MPO. Packs up to 24 fibres into one compact connector for dense cabling.
- Cable length: 3 m. Gives enough reach for most rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel runs.
- Fibre optic type: OS2. Supports single-mode transmission for long-haul, high-bandwidth applications.
- Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, improving safety.
- Return loss: >= 60 dB. Guarantees minimal signal reflection for cleaner data signals.
- Insertion loss: 0.35 dB max. Keeps signal attenuation very low, preserving performance.
- Polarity method: B. Simplifies installation by ensuring consistent fibre pairing.
Cablenet Breakout Cable
If you manage a data centre or a high-performance network, you know how quickly fibre connections can become a bottleneck. Traditional duplex cables take up too much space and limit scalability. This breakout cable lets you consolidate many links into a single MPO trunk, freeing up rack space and simplifying cable management, so you can expand your network without a mess.
Benefits of Cablenet Breakout Cable
- Space saving: Packs eight LC connections into one MPO, freeing rack slots.
- Easy installation: Colour-coded yellow jacket and clear polarity markings speed up wiring.
- High performance: Low insertion loss and high return loss maintain signal integrity.
- Safety compliant: LSZH jacket meets fire safety standards, protecting personnel.
Usages of a 3 m Breakout Cable
Ideal for data-centre patch panels, server racks, and high-density networking closets where you need to split a single MPO feed into multiple LC links without sacrificing performance or safety.
