MPO-MPO-OM4-8/12Core Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cord

The MPO-MPO-OM4-8/12Core is a high-performance MPO to MPO multimode fiber patch cord designed for today’s high-density data centers, cloud computing platforms, and enterprise backbone networks. Built with OM4 50/125 µm laser-optimized multimode fiber, it delivers superior bandwidth and longer reach than OM3, making it ideal for 40G, 100G, and 400G Ethernet applications.

With MPO connectors on both ends and support for 8-fiber or 12-fiber configurations, this cable provides a compact, low-loss, and scalable solution for MPO backbone cabling, cross-connects, and parallel-optics transceivers.

Description

Key Advantages

  • High-Bandwidth OM4 Fiber
    OM4 provides higher effective modal bandwidth than OM3, allowing longer transmission distances at high data rates such as 100G and 400G.

  • 8-Core & 12-Core Options
    Available in 8-fiber or 12-fiber versions to match different transceiver and backbone architectures.

  • High-Density MPO Interface
    Reduces cable volume, improves airflow, and maximizes rack and tray space efficiency.

  • Low Insertion Loss
    Precision-polished MPO connectors ensure excellent optical performance and stable signal transmission.

  • Plug-and-Play Design
    Factory-terminated and tested for fast, error-free deployment.

Professional Q&A

Q1: What is the difference between OM3 and OM4?
OM4 offers higher bandwidth and longer transmission distance than OM3, making it better suited for 100G and 400G applications.

Q2: Should I choose 8-core or 12-core MPO cables?
8-core is commonly used for 40G/100G breakouts, while 12-core provides full MPO capacity and greater flexibility for backbone and cross-connect systems.

Q3: Can OM4 MPO cables be used with OM3 systems?
Yes. OM4 is backward compatible with OM3 and will work with OM3 transceivers at 850 nm.

Q4: Are these cables polarity configurable?
Yes. Polarity types (A, B, or C) can be specified to ensure proper fiber mapping in different MPO network architectures.
