Description
16 Fiber MPO/MTP-16 Conversion Cables 1x2 Breakout
MPO-16 APC to 2 x MPO-8 UPC Breakout Cable converts from 16 Fibers to 8 Fibers for 100% Fiber Utilizations. The two 8 Fibers MPO (Base-12) connectors at breakout end use only 8 active fibers to transmit light and 4 inactive fibers not connected. The MPO-16 Angled Polished Connector has a 8-degree polished angle to deflect internal optical back reflections from entering the transceivers and distorting the signal quality. The two 8 Fibers MPO(Base-12) UPC (Ultra-flat Polished Connector) are typically used in 4x50G-PAM4(200G) and 4x25G-NRZ(100G).
MPO 16F to 2x8F Breakout Cable is typically designed for linking two NVIDIA InfiniBand 200G QSFP56 or optical QSFP56 transceivers transmission to NVIDIA 400G QSFP-DD or optical QSFP-DD/OSFP transceiver transmission. Compared to purchasing and installing separate Breakout cassettes, using MTP® 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. 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. Rigorous cable production testing ensures best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance, and durability.
