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 single mode breakout solution engineered for next-generation 400G/800G data center networks. With one 16-fiber MPO-16 APC (Female) trunk breaking out to eight LC UPC duplex connectors, this harness provides sixteen active fibers for connecting switches, servers, and patch panels that still rely on LC interfaces while supporting OS2 G.657.A1 bend-insensitive performance.
Factory-terminated and fully tested, the MPO–LC harness ensures verified low insertion loss and high return loss to maintain optical integrity in large-scale distributed compute and storage environments. Designed for seamless migration from duplex-based 50/100G Ethernet to parallel 400/800G Ethernet architectures, this harness is ideal for high-density racks, structured cabling systems, equipment rooms, and telecommunication rooms where space optimization and clean cable management are essential.

High-density breakout design – One MPO-16 trunk to eight LC duplex legs enables large port fan-outs while minimizing cable clutter.
Ideal for 50/100G → 400/800G migration – Designed for transitions from duplex LC links to parallel optics-based architectures.
Low insertion loss performance – Factory-terminated MPO and LC connectors ensure tight optical budgets across all links.
Bend-insensitive OS2 G.657.A1 fiber – Maintains signal integrity in tight routing and dense pathways within racks.
Crossover polarity for correct channel mapping – Pre-engineered polarity simplifies LC port alignment and reduces errors.
Riser-rated OFNR construction – Appropriate for in-cabinet routing and structured cabling in enterprise and cloud data centers.
Standard stocked lengths:
Available in optimized lengths for top-of-rack, end-of-row, and structured cabling scenarios with balanced trunk and breakout leg lengths.
Custom lengths:
Custom trunk lengths, breakout leg lengths, LC labeling, and connector configurations are available upon request to match your switching layout and rack-level cable design.
