ACT 3 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 fanout patchcable 1 X MTP female - 4 X LC duplex 8 fibers

The ACT fanout patch cable (3 m) is a multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber assembly with one MTP female connector and four LC duplex connectors (8 fibers total). Its ultra-compact 3 mm design groups eight fibers into a single MTP connector at each end, offering a space-saving solution for data centers and enterprise network racks. The cable is specified for high-speed links and is compatible with QSFP+ 40G and QSFP28 100G transceivers.

Advantages

The cable uses MTP® US Conec connectors to deliver low insertion loss and reliable optical performance. OM4 multimode fiber provides increased bandwidth and supports high-data-rate transmission. The fanout design with one MTP to four LC duplex ports simplifies rack connections and reduces cable bulk compared with individual duplex cables.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and high-density backbone links
• Connections to QSFP+ 40G and QSFP28 100G transceivers
• Enterprise network aggregation and switch-to-switch links

How to use

Route the 3 m fanout cable between patch panels, switch ports or transceiver modules, inserting the MTP connector into the MTP port and the LC duplex connectors into the corresponding LC adapters or equipment ports. Ensure correct polarity when connecting transceivers and verify secure latch engagement on both MTP and LC connectors. Follow standard fiber handling practices to avoid bending beyond the minimum bend radius and to keep connectors clean.

Recommendations

Use in high-density installations where space and reduced cable bulk are priorities; clean connectors before mating, avoid sharp bends, and store spare cables in protective reels or trays to maintain performance.
