Know before you buy
Yes, this cable features a UL Plenum (OFNP/FT6) rated jacket, which meets the safety requirements for installation in air-handling plenums and other restricted spaces.
The MTP/APC connector uses an angled physical contact polish to minimize back-reflection, while the LC/UPC connectors use an ultra-physical contact polish. This cable acts as a bridge, allowing you to interface high-density MTP equipment with standard LC-based hardware.
The fanout section measures 18 inches, which provides ample length to manage and organize your connections within a standard patch bay or rack environment.
No, this is a single-mode (9/125µm) cable. It is not compatible with multi-mode fiber systems and should only be used with single-mode hardware to ensure proper signal integrity.
No, the push-pull design is intended for easy, tool-free insertion and removal. It is specifically engineered to make managing high-density fiber connections in tight spaces more efficient.
The total length of this breakout cable is 3 feet, including the 18-inch fanout section.
