Overview

The NS MPO 12F APC to 4xLC UPC Duplex harness cable is a high-density single mode breakout solution designed for migration between parallel and duplex optics in modern data centers. With one 12-fiber MPO APC (Female) trunk breaking out to four LC UPC duplex connectors, this harness provides an 8-fiber active path for switch ports, server NICs, and patch panels that still rely on LC interfaces, while supporting OS2 G.657.A1 bend-insensitive performance.

Factory-terminated and 100% tested, the MPO–LC harness delivers verified low insertion loss and high return loss for improved network integrity. It is ideal for transitioning from duplex-based 10G/25G Ethernet links to parallel 40G/100G Ethernet infrastructures, enabling seamless upgrades without a complete recabling of your physical layer. With a riser-rated OFNR jacket and compact breakout legs, it is well-suited for high-density cabling applications in data centers, equipment rooms, and telecommunication rooms where space, airflow, and cable management are critical.

Why Choose NS MPO 12F to 4xLC UPC Duplex Harness Cables?

  • Seamless duplex–parallel migration – Designed to bridge MPO-based backbones and LC-based switch or server ports.

  • High-density breakout design – One MPO trunk to four LC duplex legs reduces cable bulk in front-of-rack and top-of-rack layouts.

  • Low-loss, high-reliability performance – Factory-terminated and tested MPO and LC connectors help maintain tight optical budgets.

  • Bend-insensitive OS2 G.657.A1 fiber – Supports tight routing and compact cable management in crowded data center racks.

  • Crossover polarity for clean mapping – Pre-engineered polarity simplifies planning and reduces risk of mispatching.

  • Riser-rated OFNR construction – Suitable for in-cabinet routing and structured cabling in enterprise and cloud facilities.

Length Options

Standard stocked lengths:
Available in common harness lengths suitable for top-of-rack, middle-of-row, and end-of-row deployments, with optimized trunk and breakout leg lengths for typical switch and patch panel layouts.

Custom lengths:
Custom trunk lengths, breakout leg lengths, labeling, and connector configurations are available on request to match your exact rack layout and cabling design.

Frequently Questions and Answers

Q1. What is an MPO/MTP fiber patch cable?

A: An MPO/MTP fiber patch cable is a high-density fiber optic cable terminated with MPO or MTP connectors, designed to support multi-fiber connections in high-speed data center networks.

Q2. What is the difference between MPO and MTP connectors?

A: MPO is a standard multi-fiber connector, while MTP is a high-performance MPO connector with improved mechanical design, higher precision alignment, and better optical performance.

Q3. What fiber counts are available for MPO/MTP cables?

A: Our MPO/MTP cables are available in 8-fiber, 12-fiber, and 16-fiber configurations to support different network architectures.

Q4. What is an MPO jumper cable?

A: An MPO jumper cable is a trunk-style cable with MPO/MTP connectors on both ends, commonly used for direct connections between switches, patch panels, or distribution frames.

Q5. What is an MPO breakout cable?

A: An MPO breakout cable splits a multi-fiber MPO connector into multiple individual connectors, allowing a high-speed port to connect to several lower-speed ports.

Q6. What is an MPO to LC harness cable?

A: An MPO to LC harness cable breaks out one MPO/MTP connector into multiple LC connectors, typically used to connect QSFP or QSFP-DD ports to SFP-based equipment.

Q7. What are common applications for MPO to LC harness cables?

A: These cables are commonly used for 40G to 10G, 100G to 25G, 200G to 50G, and 400G to 100G breakout connections.

Q8. What is the difference between MPO-8F, MPO-12F, and MPO-16F?

A: MPO-8F is commonly used for SR4 and DR4 applications, MPO-12F is widely used in legacy and structured cabling systems, and MPO-16F supports higher-density 400G and 800G applications.
