MTP-16 to 2 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OS2, Crossover
Factory built MTP®-16 Female APC with Offset Key breakout assembly with 16 Fibers on OS2 9/125μm fiber. The main trunk stays one cable until the fan-out point, which keeps pathways clear and makes moves and changes much easier to trace.
Standard lengths are 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft) and 40m (131ft). Because we are the manufacturer, any other length between or beyond these steps can be produced on request, with your choice of jacket color, labeling and packaging.

Applications
In leaf-spine and GPU cluster cabling, this breakout replaces a cassette plus multiple jumpers with one tested assembly. The 16-fiber interface matches 400G SR8 optics, where all 16 fibers carry active transmit and receive lanes. Each leg is marked so port mapping is unambiguous during installation.
Breakout Geometry and Wiring
Each breakout leg is individually jacketed, labeled and measured, and the transition from trunk to legs is protected against pulling forces. If your installation needs different leg lengths or a different lane mapping, we can build it to your drawing.
Ordering Information
To order, quote 16FMTPSMF together with the length and quantity you need. The 1m (3ft) version is the standard model; Private labeling, custom packaging and project specific documentation are all handled in-house.
Built to Your Spec
Our engineering team handles custom MPO/MTP assemblies daily. If the standard configuration does not match your link design, send us the requirement and we will build exactly what your network needs at factory-direct cost.
How We Pack
Every cable is protected with dust caps and individual packaging before being boxed for shipment. Batch test reports and your own part number labels can be included in each bag.
Quality and Testing
We do not ship untested product. Each unit is measured on calibrated equipment for optical performance and visually inspected for end face quality before packing. Batch traceability is maintained so any field issue can be tracked back to production.
