The MPO/MTP breakout patch cord refers to that after being processed by combining MPO/MTP fiber connectors with optical fiber cables through a optical Fanout kit. One end is equipped with an MPO/MTP connector, and the other end can be matched with various connectors such as LC/SC/FC (among which LC is the most widely used).
Commonly seen ones include MPO/MTP (8 core) to 4 x LC duplex breakout fiber patch cord, MPO/MTP (12 core) to 6 x LC duplex breakout fiber patch cord, and MPO/MTP (24 core) to 12 x LC duplex breakout fiber patch cord.
Through the cross-type pre-terminated MPO/MTP patch cords technology, with one end connected to 40G/100G and the other end connected to 10G. One 40G/100G can be decomposed into several 10G, realizing the ideal conversion from high-rate ports (MTP/MPO) to low-rate ports (LC/SC/FC).
With features of large number fiber cores, compact design and small size, the MPO/MTP-LC patch cords can be applied in many existing DC environments, such as switches, between rack-mounted panels and main distribution wiring boards, etc.
1. Breakout MPO/MTP patchcord provides a neat, high-density method to achieve high-density switch port duplication, which can reduce the risk of switch port damage or errors.
2. Breakout patch cords will save much space in the cabinet and have better vertical management than traditional fiber optic patch cord, such as the breakout part at one end of a 12 core breakout patch cord is much smaller than a fiber optic patch cord with the same number of cores.
3. Reduce the inconvenience caused by optical cable congestion to the management of LAN and storage network centers; increase cooling airflow, making it easier to move/add/change optic cables or equipment.
4. Breakout patch cords provide staggered LC fanouts that can be used to match the network ports of electronic devices, including customized engineering, to provide seamless integration between cabling infrastructure and electronic devices.
