The MTP Female to 6 LC Duplex Breakout Cable is a high-density single-mode fiber assembly designed to convert one 12-fiber MTP connection into six individual LC duplex connections. It features a US Conec MTP® female connector and six LC UPC duplex connectors, providing a practical way to connect high-density backbone cabling directly to equipment with standard duplex LC interfaces. The ruggedized breakout construction keeps the individual fibers organized while providing a compact solution for applications where conventional patching hardware would require additional rack space.

Built with OS2 9/125μm single-mode fiber, the cable supports long-distance optical transmission at commonly used 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Corning ClearCurve® glass fiber is available for low attenuation and improved routing flexibility. Factory termination and 100% optical and end-face testing help provide consistent assembly quality, making the cable suitable for data centers, telecommunications infrastructure, broadband networks, and enterprise fiber deployments.

OEM and customized cable assemblies are available for different network architectures and equipment requirements. In addition to the standard 12-fiber MTP female to six LC duplex configuration, customers can specify cable length, breakout length, jacket material, connector brand, fiber type, connector configuration, polarity, and other assembly parameters.

Custom labeling, cable identification, packaging, and private-label production are also available for OEM and volume projects. Customized assemblies can be manufactured according to customer drawings, technical specifications, or sample cables to ensure compatibility with existing cabling systems.

Why is an MTP female connector used on this cable?

The MTP female connector is pinless and is intended to mate with a compatible MTP male connector that provides the required guide pins. Connector gender must be matched to the mating interface in the existing backbone or patching system to ensure proper mechanical alignment.

How does this cable simplify high-density fiber deployment?

Instead of connecting six separate LC duplex patch cords to a backbone through additional patching equipment, the assembly provides a direct transition from one 12-fiber MTP interface to six LC duplex ports. This can reduce the number of individual cable connections and help improve cable management in high-density environments.

Why does a 12-fiber MTP connection produce six LC duplex connections?

Each LC duplex connection contains two optical fibers, one typically used for transmit and the other for receive. Six duplex connections therefore require 12 individual fibers, which corresponds to the fiber capacity of the MTP interface used in this assembly.

What should be checked before ordering this breakout cable?

The main compatibility considerations include MTP connector gender, polarity, fiber mapping, LC connector type, fiber mode, and the port configuration of the connected equipment. Confirming these parameters in advance helps ensure that the breakout cable matches the optical link architecture.

Can the cable be used without an intermediate patch panel?

Yes. The breakout assembly is designed to provide a direct connection between an MTP backbone interface and individual LC duplex equipment ports. This can be particularly useful when the installation requires a compact point-to-point connection and does not need an additional fiber patching stage.
