High-Performance MPO/MTP Breakout Cables
MPO/MTP breakout cables are a type of fiber optic cable that is used to connect MPO/MTP trunks to individual LC/SC/ST/FC/E2000 connectors. They are typically used in data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) applications to provide a high-density, scalable, and cost-effective solution for connecting multiple fiber optic strands.
- Factory Terminated & Tested: Rigorously tested for optimal insertion loss and end-face geometry.
- High-Density Connectivity: Replaces up to 24 traditional fiber connectors, boosting port density.
- Customizable Configurations: Options for fiber type (OS2, OM3/OM4/OM5) and connector type (LC, SC).
- Optimized for High-Speed Migration: Cost-effective path for upgrading to 40G, 100G, and 400G networks.
- Plug-and-Play Architecture: Eliminates field terminations, reducing installation time by up to 75%.
Description
MPO/MTP Breakout Cables from EPCOM provide a streamlined, high-performance solution for managing high-density fiber optic networks. These assemblies are engineered to transition from a multi-fiber MPO/MTP connector to individual simplex or duplex connectors, such as LC or SC. This design is crucial for connecting high-speed 40G/100G/400G transceivers to lower-speed 10G/25G/50G devices. By simplifying complex connections, our cables reduce clutter, improve airflow, and significantly lower the time and cost associated with network deployment and maintenance. They are an indispensable component for modern data centers, telecommunication hubs, and enterprise networks that demand both reliability and scalability.
Why Choose EPCOM’s MPO/MTP Breakout Cables?
In today’s data-driven world, network infrastructure must be both robust and adaptable. EPCOM’s MPO/MTP breakout assemblies are designed to meet these challenges head-on. They offer a superior alternative to traditional cabling methods, which often involve multiple patch cords and complex termination processes. By utilizing a pre-terminated, factory-tested design, you can ensure consistent performance and reliability across your entire network. This approach minimizes the risk of installation errors and provides a plug-and-play solution that accelerates deployment. Furthermore, the high-density nature of MPO/MTP connectors allows for significant space savings in racks and cabinets, which is a critical advantage in crowded data center environments.
Key Features of Our MPO/MTP Breakout Cables
EPCOM engineers every cable assembly to the highest industry standards. Our commitment to quality ensures that each product delivers exceptional performance and long-term durability in demanding environments.
- Factory Terminated & Tested: Each cable undergoes rigorous factory testing for insertion loss, return loss, and end-face geometry to guarantee optimal performance out of the box.
- High-Density Connectivity: A single MPO/MTP connector can replace up to 12 or 24 traditional fiber connectors, drastically increasing port density and reducing cable congestion.
- Customizable Configurations: We offer a wide range of customizable options, including fiber type (Singlemode, Multimode OM3/OM4/OM5), connector types (LC, SC), polarity (Type A, B, or C), and cable jacket ratings (Plenum, Riser, LSZH).
- Optimized for High-Speed Migration: These cables provide a simple and cost-effective pathway for migrating from 10G to 40G, 100G, and beyond, protecting your infrastructure investment.
Streamlined Installation with MPO/MTP Breakout Cables
The plug-and-play architecture of our breakout cables is a game-changer for network technicians and engineers. It eliminates the need for complex and time-consuming field terminations, reducing installation time by up to 75%. This efficiency not only lowers labor costs but also minimizes network downtime during upgrades or new installations. For accurate verification of these high-density connections, we recommend using a specialized tool like our MPO/MTP Optical Power Meter, which is designed to test multi-fiber links quickly and accurately.
Ensuring Signal Integrity with Superior Components
Signal integrity is paramount in high-speed data transmission. EPCOM utilizes premium-grade fiber and low-loss connectors to minimize attenuation and ensure a clean, reliable signal. This adherence to quality is critical for meeting the stringent loss budgets of modern network applications. Our products are fully compliant with leading industry specifications, including TIA/EIA standards, which define the parameters for commercial building telecommunications cabling.
Applications in Modern Network Infrastructures
The versatility of MPO/MTP breakout cables makes them suitable for a wide array of applications where speed, density, and reliability are critical.
- Data Center Interconnects: Ideal for connecting high-speed switches, servers, and storage area networks (SANs). They are commonly used in spine-leaf architectures to manage high-volume data traffic efficiently.
- Structured Cabling Systems: In a structured cabling environment, these cables integrate seamlessly with distribution frames. They can be used with an MPO/MTP Module Cassette to create a modular, easily manageable patching solution that simplifies moves, adds, and changes.
- Telecommunications Networks: Used in central offices and distribution points to manage the growing demand for bandwidth in both wired and wireless networks.
- Enterprise Backbone Networks: They provide a robust and scalable backbone for large corporate networks, connecting main distribution areas to intermediate distribution frames with ease. Standard connections can be made using a reliable MPO/MTP Patch Cord for equipment links.
