MPO Jumper Cables

High-Density MPO Jumper Cables for 40G–800G Parallel Optics

Overview

NS MPO Jumper Cables are engineered for high-density optical connectivity in the latest data center architectures. Designed for parallel optics applications from 40G to 800G, MPO jumpers provide a compact, low-loss alternative to multiple duplex patch cords, enabling efficient switch-to-switch and panel-to-panel interconnections.

Available in 8, 12, and 16-fiber configurations, these jumpers support SR4/SR8/DR4/DR8/PSM4 applications across OS2 singlemode and OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode fiber types. Each assembly is factory-terminated and 100% tested to ensure consistent optical performance for modern leaf-spine fabrics, GPU clusters, and AI/ML workloads.

Broad Compatibility

NS MPO jumpers offer cross-platform interoperability with major switch and optical module vendors, including NVIDIA/Mellanox, Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Dell, and HPE. Whether deploying 40G SR4, 100G PSM4, 400G DR4, or 800G SR8/DR8, these cables integrate seamlessly into new and existing high-speed optical environments.

Product Range

MPO-8 Jumper Cables

Supports 4-lane parallel applications such as 40G SR4, 100G SR4, and 100G PSM4.

MPO-12 Jumper Cables

Ideal for Base-12 structured cabling while remaining compatible with 8-fiber parallel optics via port-mapped deployment.

MPO-16 Jumper Cables

Optimized for 400G/800G SR8/DR8 and high-density AI/ML compute fabrics.

Fiber Type Options

• OS2 for long-reach DR/DR4/DR8

• OM3/OM4 for SR/SR4 links

• OM5 for SWDM multi-wavelength systems

Key Benefits

• High-density connectivity: 8–16 fibers in a single connector reduce panel footprint.

• Low insertion loss: Suited for 40G–800G parallel optics.

• Ultra-efficient cable management: A single jumper replaces up to 8 duplex patch cords.

• Bend-insensitive fiber: Ensures stability during installation in tight rack environments.

• Vendor-agnostic interoperability: Works with modules and switches from all major OEMs.
