This product is high quality MPO Breakout Cable, designed for data centre high-density fibre patching. They are space saving and ease cable management problems. This is an OS2 8-fibre cable over singlemode, optimally used for 40G QSFP+ PLR4 to 10G SFP+ LR. It enables one QSFP+ transceiver to be connected to either 4 x SFP+ transceivers or 4 LC ports within patch panels or MPO cassettes. QSFP+ transceivers which support 40GBASE-PLR4 have ports with a male connection. These require an MPO to LC breakout cable with a female MPO connector such as this product.

The MPO connection interface has been defined within the IEC-61754-7 international standards.
