The MTP To LC Adapter Cable is a factory-terminated fiber optic assembly that connects a high-density MTP/MPO interface to multiple LC duplex interfaces. It is designed for structured cabling between MTP/MPO backbone trunks, patching systems, and active equipment where LC ports are required. Configurations are available for single-mode and multimode networks, with fiber count, polarity, connector gender, cable structure, and jacket specified according to the application.

Applications
Data centers
MTP/MPO backbone-to-LC equipment connections and high-density patching.
Server and storage networks
LC interfaces for switches, servers, and SAN equipment.
Fiber distribution systems
Connections between MTP/MPO trunk infrastructure and LC patch panels or modules.
Telecom and enterprise networks
Structured fiber links requiring factory-terminated MTP/MPO-to-LC conversion.
Quality Control & Testing
Each assembly undergoes production inspection and optical testing before shipment. Quality-control items include:
100% insertion loss and return loss testing for finished assemblies.
Connector end-face inspection to identify contamination, scratches, pits, or other defects.
Polarity and fiber-mapping verification against the specified configuration.
Connector and cable dimensional inspection to verify assembly consistency.
Material and compliance verification for specified jacket and component requirements.
MPO/MTP connector performance is commonly specified against IEC 61754-7 and TIA-604-5 requirements, while actual insertion-loss limits should be confirmed according to the selected performance grade.
FAQ
Q: How can you confirm that this cable is compatible with my existing MTP/MPO system?
A: We can check the mating connector type, gender, pin configuration, fiber mapping, connector polish, and equipment interface against your existing components. Providing a photo, part number, or system drawing helps avoid ordering an incompatible assembly.
Q: Can I order samples before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes. Samples can be produced for configuration and compatibility verification before volume production. Sample charges and shipping costs are normally quoted separately and may be credited against a subsequent bulk order depending on the order quantity.
Q: What is the typical MOQ for this cable?
A: For standard configurations, a low-volume order or sample order can generally be accepted. For customized assemblies, the MOQ depends on connector components, cable materials, labeling requirements, and production setup; the exact MOQ can be confirmed with the quotation.
Q: What is the standard production lead time?
A: Standard configurations are typically dispatched within 3–5 working days. Custom OEM orders generally require 7–12 working days, depending on order quantity and material availability.
Q: Can you maintain consistent specifications for repeat orders?
A: Yes. Approved drawings, BOMs, fiber mapping, connector specifications, labeling details, and inspection requirements can be retained as the production reference for repeat orders. This helps maintain configuration consistency across multiple purchasing batches.
Q: What documents can be supplied with the shipment?
A: Typical documentation can include a commercial invoice, packing list, product specification, and inspection or test report. Certificates such as RoHS or REACH documentation can be provided when required by the project and applicable to the supplied components.
Q: How are MTP To LC Adapter Cables packaged for international shipment?
A: Each assembly is protected against contamination, bending, and mechanical damage during transportation. Individual bags, protective caps, cartons, and outer shipping packaging can be configured according to cable quantity, connector protection requirements, and the buyer's packaging instructions.
Q: What happens if a delivered cable does not match the approved specification?
A: Contact us with the order number, affected quantity, photos, and relevant inspection results. We can compare the delivered assemblies with the approved production specification and arrange replacement, rework, or another agreed resolution when a manufacturing discrepancy is confirmed.
