The MPO To FC Adapter Cable is a factory-terminated fiber optic assembly that connects an MPO/MTP interface to individual FC interfaces. It is designed for data centers, telecom networks, optical distribution systems, and test equipment requiring an MPO-to-FC transition. It provides a ready-to-install solution for project deployments and repeat B2B orders.
Technical Specifications & Configuration

|
MPO Connector |
MPO/MTP, male or female |
|
FC Connector |
FC/UPC or FC/APC |
|

OS2 9/125 μm, OM3 50/125 μm, or OM4 50/125 μm |
|
Fiber Count |
8F, 12F, 24F, or project-specific |
|
Cable Structure |
Round trunk with breakout legs or ribbon structure |
|
Polarity |
Type A, Type B, or Type C |
|
Cable Jacket |
PVC, LSZH, OFNR/Riser, or OFNP/Plenum |
|
Operating Temperature |
-20°C to +70°C |
|
Applicable Interfaces |
MPO/MTP and FC optical equipment |
The connector interfaces are based on IEC 61754-7 for MPO and IEC 61754-13 for FC.
Connector & Polarity Compatibility
Polarity should be selected according to the complete MPO link architecture rather than specified independently. Type A, Type B, and Type C are established MPO polarity configurations, and the selected method must match the mating trunk, adapter/cassette, and equipment-side connection scheme.
MPO Male to FC: MPO connector includes alignment guide pins for connection to a female MPO interface.
MPO Female to FC: MPO connector has no guide pins and mates with a male MPO interface.
For project orders, the MPO gender, FC polish, fiber count, and polarity should be confirmed together to prevent incompatible mating or incorrect fiber-position mapping.
Applications
Telecom and carrier networks
ODFs, optical distribution systems, and equipment rooms
01
Data centers
MPO backbone connections to FC-based storage or optical equipment
02
Enterprise networks
Main distribution and backbone cabling
03
Testing and measurement
MPO infrastructure connected to FC-compatible optical test equipment
04
Network upgrades
Integration of newer high-density MPO cabling with existing FC interfaces
05
Its breakout configuration provides a direct transition from one multi-fiber MPO interface to individual FC connections without requiring separate field termination.
OEM / Customization
The cable can be configured around the installation space, fiber type, connector arrangement, and project requirements. Available options include:
|
Fiber |
OS2 single mode, OM3 or OM4 multimode |
|
Trunk |
Round or ribbon construction |
|
Breakout |
Equal-length or staggered legs |
|
Jacket |
PVC, LSZH, OFNR, or OFNP |
|
Cable diameter |
Common configurations include approximately 2.0–3.0 mm trunk/leg structures, depending on fiber count and construction |
|
Length |
Custom overall length and breakout-leg length |
|
Identification |
Custom labeling, jacket colors, and distributor/OEM packaging |
Quality Control & Testing
Each assembly should be inspected and tested according to its specified configuration before shipment. Quality control includes:
Connector end-face inspection and ferrule geometry verification
Insertion loss (IL) testing
Return loss (RL) testing
Polarity and fiber-position verification
Connector and cable appearance inspection
Dimensional and labeling checks
For production orders, individual or batch test records can be supplied according to the agreed inspection requirements. Factory optical testing is particularly important for MPO assemblies because incorrect polarity or fiber-position mapping can cause link failures even when the connectors are mechanically compatible.
FAQ
Q: Can I order samples before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes. Samples can be provided for connector compatibility, optical performance, dimensional verification, and installation evaluation before a production order. Sample specifications should match the intended bulk configuration as closely as possible.
Q: Can you manufacture cables according to an existing part number or drawing?
A: Yes. OEM production can follow customer drawings, BOMs, samples, or established part numbers. The supplied technical information is reviewed before production to confirm connector, fiber, polarity, dimensions, and labeling requirements.
Q: How are MPO To FC Adapter Cables packaged for international shipment?
A: Cables are normally individually protected against connector damage and excessive bending, then packed in cartons suitable for international transportation. Bulk orders can use customer-specified inner packaging, carton markings, and labeling requirements.
Q: What is the typical production lead time?
A: Standard custom OEM orders are generally fulfilled within 7–12 working days after specification and order confirmation. Large-volume orders, special components, or project-specific configurations may require a separately confirmed production schedule.
Q: Can different FC connector versions be supplied on the same order?
A: Yes. Different FC connector configurations can be produced within the same project when required. Each configuration should be identified separately by part number or specification to avoid mixing products during installation.
Q: What payment terms are available for commercial orders?
A: Common payment methods include T/T, L/C, PayPal, and credit card. For larger or long-term projects, other payment arrangements can be discussed and confirmed according to the order value and commercial terms.
