MTP/APC Male to 12 LC Simplex OS2 Single Mode Fanout Cable 9/125µm 12 Fibers 1m

The MTP/APC Male to 12 LC Simplex Fanout Cable is engineered for high-density single-mode optical distribution where low back reflection and precise fiber alignment are critical. Built with 12 OS2 9/125µm single-mode fibers, this cable assembly supports long-distance transmission and stable signal performance across data center and telecom infrastructures.

The MTP/APC male connector features guide pins combined with an angled physical contact interface, ensuring accurate mating and significantly reduced return loss when connected to MTP/APC female trunk cables or modules. This makes the assembly especially suitable for reflection-sensitive applications such as high-speed transmission systems and broadband networks.

On the fanout end, 12 LC/UPC simplex connectors provide compact and widely compatible terminations for transceivers, patch panels, and optical distribution frames. The reinforced fanout transition protects individual fibers as they separate from the trunk, minimizing mechanical stress and enhancing durability during installation, reconfiguration, and routine maintenance.

Each cable is factory terminated, polished, and optically tested under controlled conditions to meet IEC, TIA/EIA, and Telcordia requirements. Clear fiber identification and defined polarity help ensure predictable channel mapping in structured cabling systems. Proper handling practices—such as maintaining recommended bend radius and keeping APC connectors clean—are essential to preserve long-term performance.

MPO/MTP Fiber Assembly Customization Options

Q1: Why choose an MTP/APC male connector for single-mode fanout cables?
A: The APC angle minimizes back reflection, while the male connector’s guide pins ensure accurate fiber alignment, making it ideal for reflection-sensitive single-mode systems.

Q2: Can this cable connect directly to LC transceivers?
A: Yes. The LC/UPC simplex fanout ends are designed for direct connection to standard LC ports on optical modules and patch panels.

Q3: Is this cable compatible with existing MTP/APC trunk cabling?
A: It is designed to integrate with standard MTP/APC trunk systems following common polarity conventions.

Q4: How is optical performance verified?
A: Each assembly undergoes 100% insertion loss and return loss testing prior to shipment.

Q5: Can the fanout configuration be customized for specific projects?
A: Yes. Fanout length, connector type, and labeling can be adjusted during production to meet system design requirements.
