FAQs:
What is the primary application for this MPO to 6LC Duplex OM4 Fanout Cable?
This cable is designed for high-density fiber optic interconnections in modern data centers, enterprise networks, and cloud computing environments. It is ideal for 40G to 10G interconnects, connecting a 40G QSFP+ PSM4 port on a core switch to 10G SFP+ ports on access switches or servers, as well as for high-density backbone cabling and direct equipment-to-equipment connections.
What are the key performance specifications for insertion loss and return loss?
The cable features low insertion loss with MPO connectors at ≤0.35 dB and LC connectors at ≤0.2 dB. For return loss, it offers ≥60 dB for MPO connectors and ≥50 dB for LC connectors, ensuring excellent optical performance for high-speed data transmission.
Is this cable available in custom configurations?
Yes, we offer complete customization services including custom lengths, MPO gender (Male/Pinned or Female/Unpinned), different polarities (Type A, B, or C), custom fanout staggering, and other connector types to meet specific application requirements.
What type of fiber and jacket does this cable use?
It uses low-loss OM4 multimode fiber with a 50/125μm diameter and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket. The cable has a 3.0mm round trunk and 2.0mm tails, providing bend-insensitive durability for indoor routing in racks, cabinets, and patch panels.
