Product Description

MPO to LC Uniboot 8-Fiber OM4 Breakout Patch Cord

The MPO to LC OM4 8Fibers Breakout Patch Cable is a high-performance optical interconnection designed for parallel transmission in high-density networks. It integrates 1 MPO connector (8 cores) on one side and 4 LC Uniboot UPC duplex connectors on the other, supporting 40G Ethernet deployments, efficient breakout, and simplified installation.

Built with OM4 bend-insensitive multimode fiber, this patch cord delivers low insertion loss, superior bandwidth, and enhanced airflow through its compact uniboot LC design. Ideal for data centers, FTTH, and enterprise networks, this product ensures structured, scalable, and future-proof fiber connectivity.

FAQ

What is the primary use case for this 8-fiber MPO to LC breakout cable?

What's the benefit of using LC uniboot connectors on the breakout side?

Can I use this cable for both 40G and 100G applications?

This cable is mainly used to break out 40G Ethernet signals from an MPO trunk into four LC duplex 10G channels, typically connecting high-speed transceivers (QSFP+) to LC-based switches or patch panels in data centers.

LC uniboot connectors combine TX/RX into a single jacket, reducing cable volume, improving airflow in racks, and simplifying polarity management. They also support tool-free polarity reversal, saving time during installation or reconfiguration.

Yes, this 8-core OM4 cable supports 40GBASE-SR4 transmission. For 100G applications like 100GBASE-SR10, a 12-fiber or 24-fiber MPO system is typically used, but this 8-fiber model is ideal for 4×10G parallel transmission.

Is the cable polarity configurable or fixed?

What testing and quality control is performed before shipping?

Can this breakout patch cable be customized for my project?

The LC uniboot connectors are reversible, allowing installers to change polarity (Type A, B, or C) without tools. This is particularly helpful in managing patch panel and transceiver connections in high-density racks.

Each cable undergoes 100% insertion loss and return loss testing on both ends (MPO and LC). MPO connectors are also tested with interferometers for endface geometry, ensuring optimal performance per IEC and TIA standards.

Absolutely. HOLIGHT offers OEM/ODM customization including jacket diameter, polarity type, connector gender (M/F), length, label printing, and packaging, ensuring seamless integration with your system architecture.
