Description
What Makes This Cable Special
Unlike standard multimode breakout cables, this model is designed for long-distance, high-precision transmission:
-
True single-mode performance
Supports wavelengths at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, enabling long-reach links across data halls, campuses, and metro networks. -
Ultra-slim 0.9 mm breakout fibers
Each LC leg is only 0.9 mm in diameter, making cable routing cleaner and dramatically improving airflow inside dense racks. -
Perfect for high-speed optics
Works with QSFP-DD, OSFP, CFP2, and 400G/800G PSM4 & DR4 transceivers. -
Low-loss, factory-polished MPO
Designed to meet strict insertion loss budgets required by modern single-mode optics.

Why MPO-LC-SM-0.9mm-12Core Is the Right Choice
As data rates rise, single-mode fiber becomes essential. This cable combines the density of MPO with the precision of LC, allowing you to deploy high-fiber-count links with minimal space and loss. The 0.9 mm breakout design gives you a clean, professional installation while supporting the strict optical budgets required by modern 400G and 800G optics.
Professional Q&A
Q1: What is the advantage of 0.9 mm breakout fibers?
They allow much higher port density, easier routing, and better airflow compared with standard 2.0 mm patch cords.
Q2: Is this cable compatible with 400G and 800G transceivers?
Yes. It is designed for DR4, PSM4, and similar single-mode parallel-optic modules.
Q3: Can this cable be used for long-distance links?
Yes. As an OS2 single-mode cable, it supports distances of kilometers, far beyond multimode limits.
Q4: Do I need APC or UPC connectors?
UPC is common for data centers, while APC is preferred for DWDM or long-haul telecom networks. Both options are available.
