Applications
Where a cassette would normally convert MPO to LC, this harness does the same job in one piece. The 16-fiber interface matches 400G SR8 optics, where all 16 fibers carry active transmit and receive lanes. Fewer mated pairs means better loss budget and fewer failure points.
LC Legs and Port Mapping
The duplex LC legs are manufactured to a uniform breakout length and labeled in sequence, so each pair lands on the intended port. Uniboot and standard duplex LC options are available, and leg length can be adjusted for your rack layout.
Ordering Information
Please reference 16FMPOXXSMF in your enquiry. Our sales team can also advise on polarity, gender and jacket choices if your project documentation is not final yet.
How We Pack
Every cable is protected with dust caps and individual packaging before being boxed for shipment. Batch test reports and your own part number labels can be included in each bag.
Built to Your Spec
We have manufactured fiber optic assemblies since 1995. MPO and MTP cabling is one of our core lines: fiber counts from 8 to 144, single mode and multimode, UPC and APC polish, trunk, jumper, harness and breakout formats. Send your drawing and we turn it into a ready to install assembly.
Quality and Testing
We do not ship untested product. Each unit is measured on calibrated equipment for optical performance and visually inspected for end face quality before packing. Batch traceability is maintained so any field issue can be tracked back to production.
