This product is high quality MPO (Multi-Fibre Push On) Breakout Cable, designed for data centre high-density fibre patching. They are space saving and ease cable management problems. This is an OM3 8-fibre cable over multimode, used for 40G SR4 or 100G SR4 transmission. It enables one QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver to be connected to either 4 x SFP+ (SFP28) transceivers or 4 LC ports within patch panels or MPO cassettes. QSFP+ transceivers which support 40GBASE-SR4 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.
