Product Description

1. Product Overview

8-core MTP to 4 LC Duplex (4×LC Uniboot; 8 LC Simplex) straight harness cable assemblies.

These cables are terminated with MTP and LC connectors on both ends, with 8 fanout legs optimized for 40G QSFP+ to 10G SFP+ direct connection and high-density data center applications. All fanout legs are equal in length.

 Single-mode (SM): For 40G QSFP+ PLR4 to 10G SFP+ LR

 Multimode (OM3/OM4): For 40G QSFP+ SR4 to 10G SFP+ SR, 100G QSFP SR4 to 25G SFP-25G-SR-S

 Direct QSFP+ to 4×SFP+ connection without patch panels or intermediate trunks
