Description
This OM4 multimode breakout assembly converts one four-channel MPO-12/APC parallel-optics path into two two-channel MPO-12/APC branches for supported OSFP and QSFP112 topologies. In a compatible twin-port design, two breakout assemblies can provide four independent two-channel branches. Confirm the required lane map, polarity, transceiver operating mode, and loss budget before ordering.
Product information is for selection and configuration reference. Confirm the final datasheet, test or compliance documents, warranty, and acceptance criteria before ordering.
Features
- One four-channel MPO-12/APC side branches into two two-channel MPO-12/APC ends.
- Eight active OM4 multimode fibers are distributed across the two branch legs.
- Type-B crossover construction supports compatible direct optical lane mappings.
- Compact fanout section separates the two branches while protecting the fibers.
- Branch identification and staggered or equal leg lengths can be configured for rack installation.
- Designed for supported parallel-optics breakout architectures; it does not electrically convert data rates.
- Final link operation depends on the transceiver breakout mode and switch or adapter configuration.
Applications
- 400G-to-2 × 200G parallel-optics breakout links
- Twin-port optical fanout designs using two cable assemblies
- GPU and DPU cluster switch-to-adapter connections
- High-density AI and HPC rack cabling
- Storage and accelerated-computing fabrics
