Enable Seamless Connectivity for Your Network
Network-Switch.com offers the ability to configure the pre-set compatibility of either connector of the AOC cable online with NS BOX to connect Cisco to Arista, Dell to Juniper, and any other mixes of configurations.
Overview
The NS MPO 16F APC to 2xMPO 8F APC breakout cable is a high-performance single mode fanout solution designed for 400G/800G data center architectures. With one 16-fiber MPO-16 APC (Female) input and two 8-fiber MPO-8 APC (Female) outputs, it provides a compact splitter assembly for parallel OS2 links where clean signal integrity and efficient fiber utilization are critical. The MPO-16 APC end features an 8-degree angled polish to deflect internal back reflections away from sensitive transceivers, helping to maintain signal quality in high-speed applications.
Built on bend-insensitive G.657.A1 glass and a riser-rated OFNR jacket, this crossover breakout cable is ideally suited for linking two 400G QSFP-DD/OSFP transceivers to a single 800G QSFP-DD transceiver in high-speed leaf–spine or spine–core connections. Compared with using separate breakout cassettes, MPO breakout cables reduce interconnect points, lower overall insertion loss, and offer a more cost-effective, space-saving approach for structured cabling in modern data centers.
