StarTech MPO8LCPL3M 3m MTP to 4x LC Duplex OM3 Fiber Breakout Cable
Overview
The StarTech MPO8LCPL3M is a 3-meter (9.8 ft) MTP(F)/PC to 4x LC/PC duplex breakout cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise networking applications. It enables a single 40 Gbps MTP connection to be split into four independent 10 Gbps LC duplex connections, facilitating efficient infrastructure build-outs and upgrades. Its aqua OM3 multimode fiber construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters, making it suitable for switch-to-server or switch-to-patch panel runs within racks. The MPO8LCPL3M features OFNP plenum rating for installations in air handling spaces.
Compatibility
This breakout cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring MTP/MPO female connectors (e.g., 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceivers) and standard LC duplex connectors. It is designed to interface with switches, servers, and patch panels requiring a transition from a high-density MTP trunk to multiple LC links. The OM3 fiber classification ensures compatibility with 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100Gbps applications over multimode infrastructure.
Installation Notes
The cable features a 3.0mm OD MTP trunk and 2.0mm OD LC duplex legs, providing a balance of durability and flexibility. Operating and storage temperatures are rated from -10°C to 70°C (14°F to 158°F) with a humidity range of 55-65% RH. Insertion loss is minimal, below 0.5dB for the MTP connector and 0.2dB for each LC connector, ensuring signal integrity. The aqua color coding aids in identification within complex cabling environments.
