All MPO Fiber Cables

All MPO Fiber Cables – High-Density OS2 & OM3/OM4/OM5 Solutions

Overview

MPO fiber cables enable high-density, multi-fiber connectivity for modern data center networks. Engineered for parallel optics and modular cabling architectures, MPO jumpers, breakouts, and harness assemblies streamline deployments from 40G to 800G while reducing cable congestion and improving rack airflow.

NS MPO cables are factory-terminated and 100% tested to ensure low insertion loss, high return loss, and consistent performance across OS2 singlemode and OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode applications. Whether building a leaf–spine fabric, scaling AI/ML clusters, or upgrading to next-generation 400G/800G platforms, our MPO portfolio delivers flexible and future-ready optical infrastructure.

High-Density, Multi-Generation Connectivity

Our MPO solutions support both legacy and next-generation network designs:

8-Fiber MPO

Ideal for 4-lane parallel optics such as 40G/100G SR4/CSR4 and singlemode DR4/PSM4.

12-Fiber MPO

Supports Base-12 structured cabling while remaining backwards compatible with 8-fiber systems via fanouts.

16-Fiber MPO

Optimized for 400G/800G SR8/DR8 applications and high-density GPU/accelerator clusters.

Available in OS2 singlemode (G.657.A1) and OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode, NS MPO cables meet the requirements of short-reach SR/SR4 links and long-reach DR/DR4/DR8 architectures.
