Welcome to buy the 12 strands mtp mpo fiber breakout cable singlemode yellow fiber ribbon cable with our factory. As one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers in China, we also welcome the customized orders. Consult the price and the quotation with us now.
Product overview
This is a 12-fiber MTP to LC breakout cable: one MTP-12 APC female connector on one end fans out to six LC UPC duplex connectors on the other. It converts a single high-density MTP/MPO backbone port into individual LC connections at a patch panel or transceiver, so you can migrate a standard duplex environment to parallel-optic cabling without adding separate fiber runs.
It is a breakout assembly - also called a harness or fan-out cable. That is different from an MTP trunk cable, which is terminated with MTP/MPO connectors on both ends and carries the backbone link between two high-density points. If you need MTP-to-MTP instead of MTP-to-LC, use the trunk version.

Assembly Structure Illustration:
Polarity and wire map
Polarity defines how fibers map from the MTP end to the LC end.
- Type A (straight): key-up to key-down, position 1 → 1 through 12 → 12.
- Type B (reversed): key-up to key-up, position 1 → 12; the most common choice for MTP-to-LC breakout in duplex transceiver links.
- Type C (pairs-flipped): adjacent fiber pairs are swapped at one end.
Applications and compatibility
MTP/MPO backbone to LC patch panels in high-density data center cabling.
Switch-to-patch-panel and equipment-room single-mode connections.
Migration from duplex links toward parallel optics such as 40G QSFP-SR4 and 100G QSFP28-SR4 architectures.
Mates through MTP/MPO adapters at the panel or cassette.
- The cable itself does not set the link speed or reach. Actual data rate and distance depend on the transceivers, fiber grade, connector loss and total link budget - size the assembly to match those.
Available configurations
The 12-fiber OS2 build is offered across fiber counts and connectors - for example an 8-fiber MTP to LC breakout and a 24-fiber MTP to LC OM3 breakout. An MPO female to LC UPC OS2 variant is also available if your ports use the MPO designation.
| Option | Choices |

| Connector A | MTP/MPO 8, 12 or 24 |
| Connector B | LC duplex / LC simplex / SC / FC / ST |

Frequently asked questions
Q: What is the difference between an MTP breakout cable and an MTP trunk cable?
A: A breakout (harness / fan-out) cable has one MTP/MPO connector that splits out to individual LC, SC, FC or ST connectors. An MTP trunk cable is terminated with MTP/MPO connectors on both ends and carries the backbone between two high-density points. This product is a breakout: MTP-12 on one end, 6 LC duplex on the other.
Q: Should I choose an MTP male or female connector?
A: Two mated MTP connectors must be one male (with pins) and one female (without pins). Match the gender to the port or adapter you plug into - most cassettes and adapters take a female MTP. The default here is MTP-12 APC female; male is available on request.
Q: What polarity do I need for an MTP-to-LC breakout cable?
A: Type A, B and C define how fibers map from the MTP end to the LC end.
Q: What is the difference between OS2, OM3 and OM4 for this cable?
A: OS2 is 9/125 single mode for long-distance links at 1310/1550 nm. OM3 and OM4 are 50/125 laser-optimized multimode for shorter 850 nm links. This page defaults to OS2; the same assembly is offered in OM3 and OM4.
Q: Can the breakout (fan-out) leg length be customized?
A: Yes. Overall cable length runs 1–80 m, and the fan-out leg length is available at 0.3 m, 0.5 m, 1 m and 2 m, or custom on request. Leg tubing can be 900 µm, 2.0 mm or 3.0 mm.
Q: Is every assembly supplied with an IL/RL test report?
A: Yes. Each assembly is factory-terminated, 100% insertion-loss and return-loss tested, and packaged individually in a static-free bag with its test report.
