The MPO to LC / MTP to LC fiber optic fan-out patch cord is a high-density fiber optic assembly used to bridge multi-fiber connections to individual single-fiber ports. It is available in 8-fiber, 12-fiber, or 24-fiber configurations and is typically installed in MTP/MPO module boxes for high-density patch panels. These cables are essential for connecting high-speed 40G/100G/400G transceivers (such as QSFP+) to existing 10G SFP+ equipment in data centers.
Fiber Count: Common configurations include 8-fiber (for 40G QSFP to 4x10G LC), 12-fiber (to 6xLC duplex), or 24-fiber (to 12xLC duplex).
Fiber Type: Multimode OM3, engineered for short-range data center links.
Gender: MPO connectors can be Male (with pins).
Polarity: Standard 40G/100G applications often use Type B (Rollover) polarity to ensure proper transmit-to-receive (Tx to Rx) mapping.
Applications
40G/100G to 10G/25G Migration
Enables seamless upgrading from legacy 10G/25G networks to high-speed 40G/100G infrastructures without replacing the cabling system.
Direct Device-to-Switch Connectivity
Establishes straight and clean links between switches, transceivers, and servers, simplifying structured cabling setups.
Backbone-to-Device Routing
High-capacity MPO trunk cables run as backbone routes between racks. Fanout cables split these trunks into individual LC connectors that connect directly to device ports.
High-Density Patching
Consolidates multiple duplex LC ports into a single MPO interface inside fiber enclosures, dramatically boosting overall port density.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MPO to LC fan-out patch cord?
It is a fiber optic cable assembly designed to connect high-density multi-fiber MPO/MTP interfaces to individual single-fiber LC connectors, enabling connection between high-speed switches and legacy equipment.
What fiber configurations are commonly available?
Common configurations include 8-fiber (typically used for 40G QSFP to 4x10G LC migrations), 12-fiber (connecting to 6x LC duplex), and 24-fiber (connecting to 12x LC duplex) configurations.
What is the difference between Elite and Standard MPO connectors?
Elite (Low Loss) MPO connectors have a lower maximum insertion loss of ≤0.35 dB compared to Standard connectors, which support ≤0.75 dB for Single Mode and ≤0.60 dB for Multimode applications.
Why is Type B polarity used in these cables?
Type B (Rollover) polarity is standard for 40G/100G applications to ensure correct transmit-to-receive (Tx to Rx) routing across the fiber link.
What are the operational temperature limits for these fiber cables?
These patch cords are designed to operate reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C, making them suitable for standard data center environments.
