MPO-12 to 2x MPO-4 Conversion Cable

MPO-12 APC to 2 x MPO-4 APC Breakout Cable is a 4-channel to two 2-channel split cable. The MPO-12 connector only uses 8 active fibers to transmit light and 4 inactive fibers not connected, breakout to two MPO-4 connectors(Base-12) only 4 active fibers to transmit light and 8 inactive fibers not connected. The fibers are “crossover”, Polarity Type B Cables enable directly attaching two transceivers together and allow the transmit laser fiber on pin 1 to “crosses over” and align with pin 12 of the opposite fiber end transceiver photo detector. The Angled Polished Connector has a 8-degree polished angle to deflect internal optical back reflections from entering the transceivers and distorting the signal quality.

MPO 1x2 Breakout Cable mates with pluggable optical 400GbE/NDR transceivers such as OSFP-800G-2xSR4H twin port OSFPS R8 transceiver for InfiniBand and Ethernet systems in the switch end and OSFP-400G-SR4H or Q112-400G-SR4H(QSFP112) in ConnectX-7® network adapters and/or BlueField-3® Data Processing Units (DPUs). A typical use case is using two MPO-12 APC to 2 x MPO-4 APC Breakout Cables to link an 800G NVIDIA InfiniBand twin-port OSFP transceiver with four 400G NVIDIA InfiniBand OSFP/QSFP112 transceivers. And, only two channels are activated when 400Gb/s transceivers are used with the 1x2 Breakout Cables, creating a 200Gb/s transceiver. Compared to purchasing and installing separate Breakout Cassettes, using MPO Breakout Cables is more cost-effective and lower-loss.

Ultra-low loss MPO connectors can reduce signal loss during transmission to support long-distance transmissions and multiple connection areas. Rigorous cable production testing ensures best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance, and durability. Optional robust double jacket cable to enhance crush resistance, ensuring durability and performance over long-distance runs. Additionally, the optional pulling eye safeguards the breakout section, transferring pulling force to the sleeve for efficient and rapid deployment. Arkoptics optical solutions provide short, medium, and long reach scalability for all topologies, utilizing innovative optical technologies to enable high signal integrity and reliability.
