Description

StarTech MPO8LCPL2M MTP to 4x LC Duplex Breakout OM3 Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

This 2-meter (6.6 ft) StarTech MPO8LCPL2M breakout cable is engineered for high-density data center and enterprise networking applications. It efficiently consolidates a single MTP/MPO connection into four LC duplex connections, facilitating the transition from backbone fiber infrastructure to active network equipment. The OM3 multimode fiber ensures robust performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and beyond, making it suitable for high-speed uplinks and server connections. Its plenum-rated jacket (OFNP) allows for installation in air handling spaces, critical for compliance in commercial buildings.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with network devices featuring MTP/MPO female connectors and LC duplex connectors. It is compatible with any OM3 fiber optic infrastructure requiring a 1x MTP to 4x LC duplex breakout configuration. This includes switches, transceivers, and patch panels that support this specific fiber optic termination standard. Ensure your active equipment's optical modules are rated for OM3 multimode fiber to achieve optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of -10°C to 70°C (14°F to 158°F) and is suitable for 55-65% RH environments. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material minimizes toxic fumes in case of fire. Insertion loss is minimal, with MTP connectors below 0.5dB and LC connectors at 0.2dB, ensuring signal integrity over its 6.6 ft length. The modal bandwidth is rated at 2000MHz·km at 850nm, supporting high data rates.
