MPO 2 x 12 Fiber to 3 x MPO 8 Fibers UPC Multimode OM4 Customized Aqua
Product Description
This fanout cable is designed to transition two 12-core MPO connectors into three 8-core MPO connectors. It is ideal for 40G/100G multimode applications where port breakout or high-density trunk distribution is required. Using multimode OM3/OM4/OM5 fibers with UPC polished MPO connectors, the cable ensures low loss and optimal return performance across short-reach data center environments.
