MPO-SC-OM4-12core

MPO-SC-OM4-12Core — High-Density MPO to SC Fiber Breakout Cable

Built for high-speed networks that demand both performance and flexibility, the MPO-SC-OM4-12Core is a professional-grade multimode fiber breakout cable that bridges modern MPO trunk infrastructure with traditional SC-based network equipment. It uses OM4 laser-optimized 50/125 µm multimode fiber, giving you the bandwidth and distance required for today’s 40G, 100G, and emerging 400G data center applications.

Instead of running twelve individual cables, one compact MPO connector delivers all twelve fibers in a single high-density interface, which then fans out cleanly into 12 independent SC connectors—perfect for switches, patch panels, and telecom racks.

Description

Why This Cable Is Different

The MPO-SC-OM4-12Core is designed for environments where space, airflow, and signal quality all matter:

  • More bandwidth with fewer fibers
    OM4 fiber supports much higher modal bandwidth than OM3, allowing longer and more stable high-speed links.

  • Efficient migration path
    It lets you deploy MPO backbone cabling while still connecting to SC-port equipment, avoiding costly hardware replacement.

  • Cleaner cabling layout
    One MPO trunk replaces twelve loose fibers, improving airflow and making rack management much easier.

  • Factory-verified performance
    Each assembly is tested for insertion loss and continuity, ensuring predictable field performance.

Where It’s Used

You’ll typically find the MPO-SC-OM4-12Core in:

  • High-density data center backbones

  • Telecom central offices and access networks

  • Enterprise core switches using SC interfaces

  • SAN and Fibre Channel environments

  • Structured cabling systems migrating from SC to MPO

Why OM4 Matters

OM4 fiber isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a performance multiplier. Compared with OM3, OM4 offers significantly higher bandwidth and longer supported distances for 100G and 400G links. That means better signal quality today and more headroom for tomorrow’s upgrades without recabling.

Expert Q&A

Q1: Can MPO-SC-OM4-12Core be used in older SC-based networks?
Yes. It’s specifically designed to connect modern MPO backbones to existing SC ports, making it ideal for hybrid and upgrade scenarios.

Q2: Is OM4 compatible with OM3 systems?
Absolutely. OM4 is backward compatible and will work with OM3 transceivers while providing better performance for newer optics.

Q3: Does this cable support 100G and 400G?
Yes. When used with parallel-optic multimode transceivers, OM4 supports high-speed 100G and emerging 400G connections.

Q4: Can polarity and length be customized?
Yes. MPO polarity (Type A/B/C), cable length, jacket type, and connector gender can all be specified to match your network design.
