MTP® Breakout Cables

Premium US Conec MTP® to LC Duplex Breakout Cables | 8-Fiber | OS2, OM3, OM4 | LSZH & Plenum

MTP® breakout cables use genuine US Conec MTP® connectors, the field-reconfigurable version of the MPO standard, fanned out to individual LC duplex pairs. We stock 8-fiber (MTP® to 4×LC duplex) configurations in OS2, OM3, and OM4 with LSZH and Plenum jacket options, factory tested and shipped from Irving, Texas, serving Dallas, Fort Worth, and customers across the DFW area. Each MTP breakout cable is individually tested before shipping. MTP to LC configurations are our most popular option for 40G and 100G breakout applications.

Premium MTP® to LC Duplex Breakout Solutions

MTP® brand breakout cables are a solid choice for MTP-to-LC connectivity in data centers, featuring genuine US Conec MTP® connectors on the MPO end and premium UPC-polished LC connectors on individual duplex legs. These cables provide the critical connection between high-density MTP® trunk infrastructure and standard LC equipment.

Our 8-fiber MTP® breakout cables, also called fiber optic breakout cables or fanout cables, feature one female MTP® connector on one end, fanning out to 4×LC duplex connectors on the other end. Each leg is color-coded following TIA-598 standards for easy identification. Available in both LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) for international installations and Plenum (OFNP) for North American air handling spaces.

Every MTP® breakout cable is factory tested for insertion loss and return loss before it ships, with test reports included. Premium components throughout: genuine US Conec MTP® connector, high-quality LC UPC connectors with ceramic ferrules, reinforced furcation point with strain relief, color-coded furcation tubing, and professional-grade LSZH or Plenum jacket meeting all fire safety codes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Have questions about MTP® breakout cables? We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions from our customers.

MTP® brand breakout cables feature genuine US Conec MTP® connectors which provide more consistent performance than generic MPO connectors. Key advantages include: tighter mechanical design with tighter manufacturing tolerances ensuring consistent low insertion loss, removable housing design allowing for easy cleaning and inspection in the field, better spring mechanism providing more consistent connection force and better long-term reliability, and full traceability with genuine US Conec warranty support. While generic MPO breakout cables can vary significantly in quality between manufacturers, MTP® brand ensures you're getting premium quality with every cable. For mission-critical deployments where reliability matters, MTP® is worth the upgrade.
Choose LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for international installations, environmentally conscious projects, or anywhere LSZH is specified by local building codes. LSZH jackets produce minimal smoke and zero toxic halogen gases if burned, making them safer for occupied spaces and preferred in many international markets. Choose Plenum (OFNP) jacket for North American installations in air handling spaces such as raised floors, drop ceilings, or HVAC plenums. Plenum cables meet UL 910 and NFPA 262 fire safety codes specifically required for these spaces in the US and Canada. Both jacket types provide identical fiber performance — the choice depends entirely on your building codes and installation location.
This is one of the most common applications for 8-fiber breakout cables. To split a 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ port into four independent 10GBASE-SR connections: use an 8-fiber OM3 or OM4 MTP® breakout cable (we strongly recommend OM4 for better distance and future-proofing), connect the MTP® end directly to the QSFP+ transceiver, then connect each of the 4 LC duplex legs to separate 10G SFP+ ports. Your switch must support 40G breakout mode (also called fanout, channelization, or port splitting) — verify this in your switch configuration. With OM4 fiber you get 150m reach at 40G or 400m at 10G per channel. This is much more cost-effective than running four separate fiber cables.
Our MTP® breakout cables are available in 8-fiber configuration (MTP® Female to 4×LC duplex). This is the standard configuration for 40GBASE-SR4 breakout applications which use 8 fibers. The 8-fiber design uses 8 of the 12 available fibers in the MTP® connector, leaving 4 fibers unused but providing cleaner cable management with only 4 legs instead of 6. For applications requiring full 12-fiber utilization (6×LC duplex connections), we offer those as a separate product line. The 8-fiber configuration is ideal for 40G QSFP+ breakout (uses exactly 8 fibers), cleaner cable routing with fewer legs, and most common data center breakout scenarios. If you specifically need 6 separate device connections from one MTP® port, contact us about 12-fiber breakout options.
MTP® breakout cables are the perfect complement to MTP® cassette-based systems. A typical deployment: MTP® trunk cable runs between two locations (racks, floors, buildings), MTP® cassettes at each end convert the single MTP® trunk to multiple MTP® ports, MTP® breakout cables connect each cassette port to individual LC equipment. For example: 12-fiber OM4 MTP® trunk between racks → MTP® cassette → MTP® breakout cable from cassette to 4 switches or servers with LC ports. This architecture combines the density advantages of MTP® trunking with the flexibility of standard LC connections to equipment. Just ensure all components use compatible polarity (typically Type B) for proper fiber mapping.
Every MTP® breakout cable undergoes comprehensive factory testing before shipment. We test and document: insertion loss for all 4 duplex fiber pairs at applicable wavelengths (850nm for multimode, 1310nm for single-mode), return loss verification for MTP® connector and all LC connectors exceeding -20dB, fiber mapping verification confirming correct polarity, visual connector inspection for both MTP® and LC ends, and overall pass/fail status against TIA/IEC performance standards. Test reports are provided in PDF format with unique cable serial numbers for complete traceability. We also include MTP® connector end-face inspection images upon request for critical deployments.
We do manufacture custom MTP® breakout cables to meet specific project requirements. Custom options include: any length from 0.5m to 30m+, custom leg lengths (different length for each individual LC leg), 12-fiber configuration (MTP® to 6×LC duplex), mixed connector types (MTP® to SC, MTP® to ST, etc.), MTP®/APC connectors, custom jacket colors, custom labeling and serialization, armored or outdoor-rated jacket options, and specialty hydra cables. Standard custom lead time is 2–3 weeks for manufacturing and testing. Contact us with your detailed requirements for a feasibility assessment and quote.
All MTP® brand breakout cables include manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Standard warranty period is 3 years for cables with genuine US Conec MTP® connectors. Warranty covers: MTP® connector performance (insertion loss, return loss), LC connector performance on all legs, fiber integrity throughout the cable, furcation integrity and strain relief, and jacket integrity (LSZH or Plenum). Warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, exceeding bend radius specifications especially at the furcation point, connector contamination, or normal wear and tear from repeated connection cycles. Extended warranties available for critical infrastructure deployments.
