Ultra Spec Cables Singlemode MPO Female APC to 12 x SC-APC Simplex Breakout Cable is ideal for use in 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. They are used to connect MPO Trunk Cables to equipment by redistributing various fibers to singular devices without the need of additional network equipment, so they're perfect for high density environments, where front panel space is a premium. The single MPO connects to four SC connections on equipment like switches, routers, SFP+/QSFP ports, hubs, patch panels and media converters. One end of the cable has an MPO Female APC Connector, with a push-pull mechanism that simplifies engagement/disengagement and can plugged in/removed with one hand and without the use of tools. The connector design also prevents snagging when the cables are being installed. The opposite end has 12 x SC-APC Simplex connectors and their numbered legs of equal length correspond to the fiber position in the MPO. The pre-terminated connectors are machine polished for optimal performance. The APC, or Angled Physical Contact connectors minimize back reflection, so they're perfect for applications that are extremely sensitive to signal variation like CCTV, DAS and FTTH. This cost-effective solution is a great alternative to pricey, time consuming field terminations and satisfies the demand for reducing your network footprint while providing reliable, high-speed connections. We offer a variety of breakout cable options to suit specific needs and custom lengths/configurations are available. MPO Trunk Cables, cassettes, fiber adapter panels and cleaners are also purchasable, so be sure to check out our full line of complementary products.
