12F MPO(Male) -LC Fan-out 0.9mm 30cm cables
12cores MPO (Male) to LC 0.9mm 30cm are designed for MPO-LC LGX module cassettes are terminated with MPO and LC connector on each end. Available in Single Mode (OS2), OM3, and OM4 ，OM5 fiber types, it supports diverse network speeds from 10G to 400G.
- Connectors: One end features a precision MPO Male connector (Green housingfor SM/APC, Aqua for OM3，Magenta for OM4, Lim green for OM5).), while the other end breaks out into 12 individual LC connectors (Blue for SM/UPC, Aqua for OM3，Magenta for OM4，Lim green for OM5).
- Cable Construction: The breakout legs utilize 0.9mm loose-buffered fiber, offering superior flexibility and protection for intricate routing. The compact 30cm length is optimized for short-reach interconnects within server racks.
- Performance: Designed for low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring signal integrity across 850nm (Multimode) and 1310/1550nm (Single Mode) wavelengths. The color-coded jacketing allows for instant visual identification of fiber type.

Application
- Data Center High-Speed Migration: Essential for upgrading legacy 10G networks to 40G (QSFP+) and 100G (QSFP28) architectures. The MPO end connects to the high-speed switch, while the LC ends distribute signals to break-out modules or legacy equipment.
- Server Rack Interconnects: The 30cm length is specifically designed for “Top-of-Rack” (ToR) switching environments, connecting patch panels to servers without excess cable clutter, improving airflow and cooling efficiency.
- Fiber-to-the-Antenna (FTTA): In telecom infrastructure, these cables connect remote radio heads to baseband units, where space is limited and durability is required.
- Test and Measurement: Ideal for lab environments where technicians need to quickly adapt MPO-based test equipment to standard LC interfaces for debugging optical links.
