MPO Breakout Cables

High-Performance MPO Breakout Cables for 40G–800G Parallel Architectures

Overview

NS MPO Breakout Cables are purpose-built for high-bandwidth parallel-optics environments requiring structured fan-out from a single MPO trunk. These assemblies split one MPO interface into two or four MPO connectors, enabling scalable 40G/100G/400G/800G deployments across clustered data center environments.

Designed for dense leaf–spine networks, GPU/AI clusters, and modular system architectures, MPO breakouts simplify multi-device interconnects while maintaining low insertion loss and consistent channel mapping. Each cable is factory-terminated, polarity-verified, and fully tested for 40G–800G applications.

Broad Compatibility

Engineered for seamless operation with parallel-optics transceivers, NS MPO breakouts support:

• NVIDIA/Mellanox platforms

• Cisco, Arista, Juniper switching systems

• OSFP/QSFP-DD/QSFP28/QSFP+ SR4/DR4/PSM4/SR8 optics

This ensures flexible integration across mixed-vendor networks.

Product Range
