1. Product Overview

The MPO to 8 x SC/UPC OS2 Breakout Cable (also known as a fan-out or harness cable) allows for the transition from a single MPO connector to 8 discrete SC/UPC connectors. Utilizing OS2 9/125μm Single-Mode fiber, this cable supports long-distance data transmission with minimal signal loss. It is an ideal solution for data centers and telecommunication rooms where space is limited and high fiber density is required.

Product Applications

The MPO-to-8xSC breakout cable is a versatile tool for network migration and high-density distribution:

1. Legacy Hardware Integration

While LC connectors are dominant in modern SFP modules, SC connectors remain widely used in legacy switches, media converters, and carrier-grade transport equipment. This breakout cable allows you to connect a modern MPO-based trunk or switch port directly to these SC-based devices without needing intermediate adapters.

2. High-Density SC Patching

In ODFs (Optical Distribution Frames) or patch panels that utilize SC adapters, this harness simplifies cable management. Instead of running 8 individual yellow patch cords through the trays, a single MPO trunk is fanned out right at the panel, significantly reducing "cable spaghetti" and improving airflow.

3. Data Center Rack-to-Rack Connectivity

Used to connect a high-speed switch in one rack (via MPO) to a series of standalone devices in another rack that use SC interfaces. This is common in environments hosting various generations of server or storage equipment.

4. Telecommunication Central Offices

Ideal for the distribution of single-mode signals from a central MPO trunk to individual SC-port equipment used in long-haul or metropolitan area networks. The LSZH jacket ensures that the cable meets the safety requirements for indoor installations in public or sensitive areas.

5. Media Converter Arrays

Many fiber-to-ethernet media converters utilize SC simplex or duplex ports. This breakout cable provides a clean way to provide fiber connectivity to a bank of media converters mounted in a chassis, utilizing a single MPO port from the core switch.

Professional Recommendation:

For Single-Mode applications, ensure that the MPO connector is APC (Angled) to match standard SMF MPO transceivers, even though the SC end is UPC (Flat). This ensures the lowest possible back-reflection at the critical MPO interface.
