MPO-SC-SM-8Core — Single-Mode MPO to SC Fan-Out Fiber Cable

Description

Why Engineers Choose This Cable

This cable is made for environments where distance, reliability, and clean fiber management are critical:

• True single-mode performance
  Designed for 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, supporting links from short data-hall runs to multi-kilometer telecom spans.

• High-density MPO input
  Reduces fiber congestion and allows more links in less rack space.

• Direct SC connectivity
  Ideal for telecom racks, ODFs, and legacy equipment that still rely on SC interfaces.

• Factory-tested, low-loss termination
  Ensures stable optical budgets for demanding single-mode transceivers.

Technical Overview

Where It’s Commonly Used

• Telecom central offices and access networks

• Data center interconnect (DCI)

• Single-mode MPO backbone to SC patch panels

• Fibre Channel and SAN systems

• Campus and metro networks

Why MPO-SC-SM-8Core Is a Smart Investment

As networks migrate to higher speeds and longer distances, single-mode fiber becomes the backbone of modern infrastructure. The MPO-SC-SM-8Core lets you take advantage of high-density MPO cabling while maintaining compatibility with widely used SC ports, making it ideal for both new builds and upgrades.

Expert Q&A

Q1: Is this cable suitable for long-distance links?
Yes. As an OS2 single-mode cable, it supports distances of several kilometers and beyond, depending on the transceivers used.

Q2: Why use SC instead of LC?
SC connectors are widely used in telecom and legacy networks and provide a robust, easy-to-handle interface.

Q3: Can this cable be used with 100G or 400G optics?
Yes. When used with parallel single-mode optics such as PSM4 or DR4, it supports high-speed links.

Q4: Can polarity and connector polish be customized?
Yes. MPO polarity (Type A/B/C) and SC polish (UPC or APC) can be selected to match your network design.
