Black Box FOHC20M3MPLC12AQ-3R2 3M MTP OM3 Fiber Optic Harness
Overview
The Black Box FOHC20M3MPLC12AQ-3R2 is a 3-meter, OM3, MTP-to-LC fiber optic harness designed for high-density data center and enterprise network applications. This cable assembly facilitates the transition from a multi-fiber MTP connector to multiple duplex LC connectors, enabling efficient breakout for 40GbE or 100GbE connections to standard network equipment. Its 3-meter length provides adequate reach for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch panel runs within a single rack. The black color aids in cable management and identification within structured cabling systems.
Compatibility
This harness is engineered for use with MTP/MPO trunk cables and LC-based transceivers or patch panels. It is suitable for applications requiring OM3 fiber, which supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters. It is compatible with network switches, servers, and storage devices that utilize MTP/MPO ports for breakout configurations and LC connectors for endpoint connections.
Installation Notes
Handle with care to avoid damaging the fiber strands or connectors. Ensure MTP connector alignment pins are correctly seated before engaging. Clean LC connector end-faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool prior to insertion to prevent signal degradation. The 3-meter length is ideal for standard 19-inch rack installations where equipment is housed in close proximity.
