Add-On ADD-MPO-4LC5M5OM4 MPO to 4xLC Aqua OM4 Fiber Cable

Overview

The Add-On ADD-MPO-4LC5M5OM4 is an 8-strand, Aqua OM4 fiber optic cable designed to bridge MPO/UPC connectors to four LC Duplex/UPC connectors. This riser-rated (OFNR) cable is essential for high-density network environments, enabling efficient data transmission between network switches, servers, and surveillance equipment. Its construction supports 10/40/100 Gbps Ethernet applications, making it suitable for demanding data center and backbone infrastructure deployments.

Compatibility

This MPO to 4xLC breakout cable is compatible with network switches, transceivers, and network interface cards featuring MPO/UPC (8-fiber) and LC Duplex connectors. It is commonly used with 40GbE QSFP+ transceivers that break out to 4x10GbE SFP+ ports, and 100GbE QSFP28 transceivers that break out to 4x25GbE SFP28 ports. Ensure your network devices utilize OM4 fiber specifications for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated OFNR (Riser), suitable for vertical runs within building shafts but not for use in plenums. Handle fiber optic connectors with care to avoid contamination; use appropriate cleaning tools before mating. The MPO connector is keyed for correct orientation; do not force it. Ensure the LC connectors are securely seated in their respective ports.
