MTP-12F to 6xLC Duplex Fan-Out Pre-Terminated CableMTP-12F to 6xLC Duplex Fan-Out Pre-Terminated Cable – 12-Fiber Breakout Patch Cord
Product Summary: Our MTP-12F to 6xLC Duplex fan-out cable provides a pre-terminated, plug-and-play solution for high-density 40G/100G data center environments. With 12 fibers breakout into 6 LC duplex connectors, it enables fast deployment and reliable connectivity between MPO-based switches and LC-based transceivers. Manufactured by Nanfang Communication (Hong Kong listed, stock code 1617.HK), the cable meets TL9000 and ISO14001 standards and is backed by a CNAS-accredited testing laboratory.
Key Selling Points
- Low Insertion Loss: Typ. 0.35dB, max 0.75dB per mated pair ensures minimal signal attenuation for high-speed optical transmission.
- High Return Loss: ≥60dB (APC) / ≥50dB (PC) reduces back reflection, critical for analog and high-bit-rate systems.
- Pre-Terminated Fan-Out Design: 12-fiber MTP/MPO connector on one end, factory-terminated to 6 individual LC duplex connectors – saves installation time and eliminates field splicing errors.
- OM3/OM4/OM5 or OS2 Fiber Options: Supports multimode (OM3/OM4/OM5) for short-reach 40G/100G SR4 or single-mode (OS2/G.657A) for longer distances.
- Robust Quality Certifications: TL9000 (Telecom), ISO14001, ISO45001, and CNAS laboratory accreditation ensure consistent product quality and environmental compliance.
- 30 Years of Industry Experience: Founded in 1992, Nanfang Communication has supplied fiber optic solutions to operators like China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between MTP and MPO connectors?
A: MTP is a high-performance version of the MPO connector with improved mechanical and optical performance. Both are interchangeable. Our cables feature MTP connectors for optimal performance.
Q: Can I use this cable for 100GBASE-SR4 applications?
A: Yes, with OM4 or OM5 fiber, the 12-fiber breakout to LC duplex supports 100G SR4 by using 4 pairs of fibers.
Q: Do you offer low-loss options for higher performance?
A: Yes, we provide low-loss graded cables with typical insertion loss ≤0.10 dB and max 0.35 dB.
Q: What certifications do your cables have?
A: Our manufacturing facility is ISO9001, TL9000, ISO14001, and ISO45001 certified. Our test lab is CNAS accredited (CNAS L11717).
Q: What is the lead time for custom lengths?
A: Lead time depends on quantity; please contact us at info@jsnfgroup.com for specific orders.
