An MTP/MPO to SC breakout cable is a high-density fiber optic assembly designed to convert a multi-fiber MPO connector into multiple SC connectors. This breakout configuration allows one MPO trunk cable to distribute optical signals to several SC ports, simplifying high-capacity fiber installations.
These cables are commonly used in data centers and telecommunications networks where parallel optical transmission must connect with traditional SC-based infrastructure. Breakout cables help simplify cabling management and eliminate time-consuming field termination.
This product belongs to the broader family of high-density MPO/MTP patch cord solutions used in structured fiber cabling systems.
Key Features
-
MTP/MPO connector to SC simplex breakout design
-
Supports 8, 12, or 24 fiber configurations
-
Factory-terminated and fully tested
-
Low insertion loss and high return loss
-
Available with OM3, OM4, OM5, or OS2 fiber
-
LSZH, PVC, or OFNP jacket options
-
Suitable for high-density data center environments
Because breakout cables distribute multiple optical fibers from a single connector, they significantly reduce installation time compared with field-terminated fiber assemblies.
Applications
MTP/MPO to SC breakout cables are widely used in high-density fiber networks where multi-fiber trunk cables must connect with SC-based equipment.
Typical applications include:
-
Data center backbone cabling
-
Telecommunications transmission systems
-
Cloud computing infrastructure
-
Enterprise campus networks
-
Fiber distribution frames (ODF)
-
Storage area networks (SAN)
These cables enable efficient connections between parallel optical systems and traditional SC fiber interfaces, allowing flexible network upgrades without replacing existing fiber infrastructure.

FAQ
What is an MPO to SC breakout cable?
It is a fiber optic cable that splits a multi-fiber MPO connector into multiple SC connectors.
Why use MPO breakout cables in data centers?
They simplify high-density fiber connectivity and reduce cable congestion.
What fiber types are available?
Common options include OM3, OM4, OM5 multimode and OS2 single-mode fiber.
What is the difference between MPO trunk and breakout cables?
While breakout cables distribute fibers to individual connectors, a MPO/MTP patch cord connects MPO interfaces directly between network devices and patch panels, enabling high-density backbone connectivity.
