Why Choose MPO-SC-OM3/OM4-12Core?
The MPO-SC-OM3/OM4-12Core patch cord provides an efficient bridge between high-density MPO infrastructure and widely used SC interfaces. Its OM3/OM4 multimode fiber ensures reliable high-speed transmission, while the MPO fan-out design simplifies cable management and reduces installation costs. It is the ideal solution for upgrading legacy SC-based systems while maintaining compatibility with modern MPO backbone networks.
Professional Q&A
Q1: What is the difference between OM3 and OM4 for this cable?
OM4 offers higher bandwidth and longer transmission distance than OM3, making it better for 100G links and larger data centers.
Q2: Why use an MPO to SC breakout cable instead of LC?
SC connectors are commonly used in telecom and legacy enterprise networks. MPO-SC cables allow modern MPO trunks to connect directly to existing SC equipment.
Q3: Is this cable suitable for 40G and 100G applications?
Yes. With OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber and a 12-fiber MPO interface, it supports parallel-optic 40G and 100G transceivers.
Q4: Are these cables polarity-configurable?
Yes. MPO polarity types (A, B, or C) can be selected to ensure correct fiber mapping in different network architectures.
