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.
The NS MPO 16F APC to 8xLC UPC Duplex harness cable is a high-density OM4 multimode breakout solution designed for migration from duplex Ethernet to parallel optics in modern 400G/800G data centers. With one 16-fiber MPO-16 APC (Female) trunk breaking out to eight LC UPC duplex connectors, this harness provides sixteen active fibers to serve LC-based switch, server, or patch panel ports while aggregating cabling onto a compact MPO backbone.
Factory-terminated and 100% tested, the MPO-LC harness delivers verified low insertion loss and stable return loss for improved network integrity in 50/100G duplex and 400/800G parallel Ethernet environments. Built on bend-insensitive OM4 50/125 μm multimode fiber and a riser-rated OFNR jacket, it is ideal for high-density cabling in data centers, local area networks, equipment rooms, and telecommunication rooms where space savings, airflow, and clean cable management are essential. The crossover polarity design simplifies connectivity between MPO-based backbones and LC front-panel ports when migrating from duplex to parallel optics.
Need support confirming polarity, LC mapping, or compatibility with your 50/100G and 400/800G multimode transceivers? Contact us now and our team will help validate your design before deployment.

Perfect for 50/100G to 400/800G migration – Bridges MPO-16 backbones with LC-based switch and server ports for next-gen upgrades.
High-density breakout architecture – One MPO-16 trunk to eight LC duplex legs minimizes front-of-rack congestion and cable bulk.
Low-loss, factory-terminated assembly – MPO and LC connectors are pre-terminated and tested to maintain tight optical budgets.
OM4 bend-insensitive multimode fiber – Supports higher bandwidth and stable performance in dense routing environments.
Crossover polarity for clean mapping – Pre-engineered polarity simplifies LC port assignments and reduces the risk of mispatching.
Riser-rated OFNR construction – Suitable for structured cabling, in-cabinet routing, and high-density data center installations.
Standard stocked lengths:
Available in common harness lengths optimized for top-of-rack, middle-of-row, and end-of-row deployments with balanced trunk and breakout leg lengths.
Custom lengths:
Custom trunk lengths, breakout leg lengths, connector labeling, and configurations are available on request to match your precise rack layout and cabling design.
