Product Description
1. Product Overview
12-core MTP to 6×LC Duplex (6×LC Uniboot; 12×LC Simplex) staggered harness cable assemblies.
These cables are terminated with MTP and LC connectors on both ends, with staggered fanout lengths. Optimized for 40G QSFP+ PLR4 to 10G SFP+ LR direct connection and high‑density data center patching, saving space and simplifying cable management.
Suitable for 40G LR4 PSM, 40GBASE‑SR4, 40G QSFP+ PLR4, and 10/40/100G high‑density data center applications.
