ACT 1 meter singlemode 9/125 OS2 fanout-patchkabel 1x MTP female - 4x LC duplex 8 vezels

The ACT fanout patch cable 1 meter Singlemode 9/125 OS2 1xMTP-4xLC is a high-density fiber assembly designed for linking MTP trunks to LC-based equipment in server rooms and data centers. This 1 m cable provides eight singlemode fibers in a compact fanout configuration with a female MTP connector on one end and four LC duplex connectors on the other, enabling aggregated high-speed links with low insertion loss and controlled return loss. The 9/125 µm singlemode core supports long-reach transmission characteristics and full-duplex operation, making the cable suitable for modern optical networking architectures.

Advantages

This fanout cable offers a compact footprint and straightforward migration path between MPO/MTP backbone cabling and LC duplex ports. Its singlemode 9/125 construction minimizes attenuation over distance and ensures consistent optical performance. The integrated fanout assembly reduces connection complexity and helps maintain cable management standards in high-density racks. The female MTP termination enables polarity and orientation options compatible with common high-speed transceivers.

Suitable for

• Connecting MTP/MPO trunk cables to LC-equipped switches, transceivers and patch panels
• High-density data center cabling and consolidation in 10/40/100 GbE environments
• Fiber backbone to equipment-side terminations in rack and enclosure installations
• Environments requiring low insertion loss singlemode connections and predictable performance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2)
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector A: 1x MTP female
• Connector B: 4x LC duplex (8 fibers total)
• Configuration: Fanout/fan-out assembly
• Performance: Low insertion loss, full-duplex support
• Typical applications: Data center patching, equipment interconnects

How to use

Route the 1 m fanout cable between the MTP trunk or panel and the LC ports on the target device or patch panel, avoiding sharp bends and maintaining the minimum bend radius specified for singlemode fiber. Insert the female MTP connector into the corresponding male MTP adapter or cassette with correct orientation, then connect each LC duplex plug into the matching LC receptacles. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent performance degradation. Verify link continuity and optical loss with appropriate test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use dust caps on unused connectors, perform connector cleaning with appropriate fiber cleaning tools prior to installation, and secure the fanout assembly in cable managers to prevent strain. For critical links, conduct optical loss and end-face inspections to confirm compliance with network requirements.
