Product Overview
The 16-Core MPO-LC Uniboot Breakout Cable is a factory pre-terminated, high-density fiber optic assembly engineered for data center and AI infrastructure interconnect. It converts a single 16-fiber MPO/MTP trunk into eight LC uniboot duplex interfaces, bridging high-speed multi-fiber backbone links to standard LC equipment ports. Built on bend-insensitive OS2 single mode fiber, this breakout cable delivers stable, low-loss transmission for 400G and 800G parallel optics, making it the ideal choice for hyperscale data centers, AI GPU clusters, and high-density patching areas.
Each assembly is 100 percent factory tested for insertion loss, return loss, and end-face geometry before shipping, ensuring plug-and-play reliability that reduces on-site installation time and total cost of ownership. The LC uniboot connector combines two fibers into a single boot, cutting traditional duplex patching bulk in half and maximizing airflow inside crowded server racks.
Key Features
- High-Density Uniboot Design: LC uniboot combines two fibers in one boot, saving 50 percent cabling space and improving airflow.
- Low Insertion Loss: Typical insertion loss of 0.35 dB or lower preserves link budget across multi-connector channels.
- OS2 Bend-Insensitive Fiber: G.657.A1 single mode fiber maintains stable transmission under tight bends.
- Flexible Polarity Management: Type A, B, and C polarity options with clear color coding for error-free deployment.
- LSZH Jacket: Low smoke zero halogen jacket meets fire safety requirements for indoor data center use.
- Factory Pre-Terminated: Plug-and-play assembly with 100 percent testing eliminates field termination risk.
Applications
This breakout cable is purpose-built for next-generation data center and AI networking scenarios, including 400G/800G spine-to-leaf interconnects, QSFP-DD and OSFP transceiver breakout, AI GPU cluster cabling, high-density patching between MPO cassettes and LC equipment, and structured cabling in enterprise and colocation facilities. It seamlessly supports 40G, 100G, 400G, and 800G Ethernet parallel optics, delivering a scalable, future-ready solution for demanding optical networks.
Packaging & Quality Assurance
Each breakout cable is individually coiled and sealed in a protective polybag with dust caps on every connector, then packed in export-grade cartons to prevent damage during transit. Quality is assured through full traceability, including 100 percent insertion loss and return loss testing, 3D interferometry end-face inspection, and compliance with IEC 61754-7 and TIA/EIA-604-5 standards. Every batch ships with a complete test report for your records.
