MPO-LC-OM5-12Core Wideband Multimode Fiber Patch Cord

Description

Key Advantages

• Wideband Multimode Technology
  OM5 fiber supports multiple wavelengths over a single multimode fiber, enabling SWDM transmission and higher data rates per fiber compared with OM3 and OM4.

• 12-Fiber High-Density Design
  A single MPO interface carries 12 fibers, dramatically reducing cabling volume and improving airflow in high-density racks.

• MPO to LC Fan-Out Architecture
  Directly connects MPO trunk cables to standard LC ports on QSFP+, QSFP28, and future SWDM transceivers.

• Low Loss, High Reliability
  Precision-polished connectors and factory testing ensure low insertion loss, stable optical performance, and long-term reliability.

• Future-Ready Infrastructure
  OM5 is designed for 400G and future multi-wavelength multimode applications, making it ideal for data center upgrades.

Why Choose MPO-LC-OM5-12Core?

Unlike traditional OM3 and OM4 cables that rely on a single wavelength, OM5 wideband fiber enables multiple wavelengths to travel over the same fiber. This allows network operators to multiply capacity without installing more fibers. The MPO-LC-OM5-12Core gives you a clean, efficient path from MPO trunk infrastructure to LC-based equipment while preparing your network for higher-speed and SWDM-based upgrades.

It is the ideal solution for organizations building scalable, future-proof fiber infrastructure in modern data centers.

Professional Q&A

Q1: What makes OM5 better than OM3 and OM4?
OM5 supports multiple wavelengths (850–953 nm) for SWDM, allowing several data channels to run on one fiber. OM3 and OM4 only support single-wavelength transmission at 850 nm.

Q2: Can MPO-LC-OM5 cables be used with standard OM4 equipment?
Yes. OM5 is fully backward-compatible with OM4 and OM3. It works with standard 850 nm transceivers, while also supporting SWDM optics for higher capacity.

Q3: What is the purpose of the MPO to LC breakout?
It allows a high-density MPO trunk to connect directly to LC-based switch or server ports without extra patch panels or conversion cables.

Q4: Is OM5 suitable for 400G networks?
Yes. OM5 is specifically designed to support multi-wavelength multimode 400G and future high-speed optical links, making it ideal for next-generation data centers.
