FAQ
Q1: What does “24F MPO–3×8F MPO” mean?
It refers to a breakout design where one end has a 24-fiber MPO connector, while the other end splits into three 8-fiber MPO connectors (totaling 24 fibers). This is typically used to connect a 24F trunk cable to three SR4 (8F) ports or cassettes for high-density applications.
Q2: What applications and data rates is this cable suitable for?
Built with OM4 50/125 μm multimode fibers, it supports short-reach high-speed links such as 40G/100G/200G SR4/SR10 at 850 nm. It is widely used in data centers for backbone-to-module or backbone-to-equipment breakout connections.
Q3: How should I choose polarity and pin configuration (Type A/B/C, Male/Female)?
The default recommendation is Type B (key up–key up) for SR4 links. Type A or C can also be provided based on system requirements. For pins, the common setup is female connectors at transceivers and male pins on the cable, though this can be customized depending on device or cassette compatibility.
Q4: What are the optical performance parameters?
Elite MPO ferrules typically provide insertion loss ≤0.35 dB, while standard grade is ≤0.75 dB. Return loss is ≥20 dB. Each assembly is 100% tested for IL/RL and polarity before shipment, with a test report included.
Q5: What is the structure and breakout length of this cable?
The main trunk is 24F, splitting into three mini 3.0 mm round sub-cables, each terminated with an 8F MPO. Standard breakout length is 0.5–0.6 m, with options from 0.3–1.5 m depending on cabinet layout.
Q6: What jacket materials are available?
LSZH: Low-smoke zero-halogen, suitable for general indoor applications.
OFNR: Riser-rated, for vertical shaft installations.
OFNP: Plenum-rated, for air-handling spaces in North America.
The default color is Aqua (OM4) or Erika Violet, with other colors available on request.
Q7: What are the bend radius and temperature ratings?
For 3.0 mm sub-cables, the minimum bend radius is ≥10× OD static (≥30 mm) and ≥20× OD dynamic. Operating temperature is typically –20 °C to +70 °C, with extended ranges available for custom builds.
Q8: Is it compatible with standard MPO/MTP systems?
Yes. It is fully compliant with IEC/TIA standards and compatible with mainstream MPO/MTP cassettes, patch panels, and SR4/SR10 transceivers. Proper inspection and cleaning with MPO tools are recommended before mating.
Q9: Can this product be customized? What is the lead time?
Yes. Options include polarity, pin type, breakout length, jacket rating, color, labeling, pulling mesh/tube, and packaging. Standard models are often available from stock, while customized versions usually ship within 5–10 working days depending on order size.
