MTP-12 to 2 x MTP-4 APC Breakout Cable, 8 Fibers, OS2, Type B
This MTP® Elite Female breakout cable splits a high density multi-fiber interface into smaller legs, so one port can feed several lower speed links. OS2 9/125μm fiber and Plenum (OFNP) jacket with 8 Fibers make it a tidy alternative to cassette based fan-out.
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
This breakout is used wherever one multi-fiber interface must serve several devices. The 8-fiber version matches 400G and 800G parallel interfaces that run on 4 or 8 lanes, such as QSFP112, OSFP and twin-port OSFP connections. The factory controlled fan-out keeps each leg at the right length and polarity, avoiding the tangle of separate patch cords.
Breakout Geometry and Wiring
The fan-out point is factory molded and strain relieved, with each breakout leg built to the length shown in the specification table. Wiring follows the polarity scheme listed, so the lane order at the far end matches the transceiver requirements without on-site re-termination.
Ordering Information
Ordering is simple: send us 8FMTPSMF and your required lengths and quantities, and we return a factory quote the same working day. The 1m (3ft) version is the standard model; Small trial orders are welcome before you commit to a full project rollout.
How We Pack
Products are packed in anti-static or PE bags with connector dust caps fitted, then boxed in sturdy export cartons. Custom labels, barcodes and carton markings are available on request.
Quality and Testing
Every MPO/MTP assembly leaving our factory is 100% tested for insertion loss and return loss, with end face geometry checks on the multi-fiber ferrules. Controlled polishing keeps the loss budget stable across the whole batch, which matters when several mated pairs sit in one link.
Built to Your Spec
We have manufactured fiber optic assemblies since 1995. MPO and MTP cabling is one of our core lines: fiber counts from 8 to 144, single mode and multimode, UPC and APC polish, trunk, jumper, harness and breakout formats. Send your drawing and we turn it into a ready to install assembly.
