Description
This 16-fiber multimode MPO-16 assembly is intended for native eight-lane parallel-optics interfaces, including supported 800GBASE-VR8 and 800GBASE-SR8 applications. OM4 and OM5 configurations can be selected according to the optical module and required channel reach. Connector polish, polarity, gender, and loss grade must be matched to the exact transceiver MDI.
Product information is for selection and configuration reference. Confirm the final datasheet, test or compliance documents, warranty, and acceptance criteria before ordering.
Features
- Sixteen 50/125 µm multimode fibers support eight transmit and receive lane pairs.
- Available with OM4 or OM5 fiber according to the selected optical interface and reach plan.
- MPO-16 provides a single-row high-density interface for native eight-lane parallel optics.
- Supports point-to-point or structured cabling designs with compatible MPO-16 panels and trunks.
- Custom lengths, polarity, connector gender, polish, jacket rating, and labels are available by configuration.
- Suitable for 800G migration projects and infrastructure planning for emerging 1.6T parallel optics.
- The cable must be specified against the transceiver MDI; not every 800G optical module uses MPO-16.
Applications
- Native 800G multimode parallel-optics links
- 800GBASE-VR8 and 800GBASE-SR8 cabling architectures
- AI and HPC switch-to-server connections
- High-density data center backbone and patching
- Migration planning for emerging 1.6T parallel optics
