G657A1 LSZH Single-Mode FC/PC - MPO/APC 12 cores Optical branch cable
The single-mode MPO harness fiber cable is comprised of one MPO female connector and 12 FC UPC simplex fiber connectors on the other end. The FC connectors utilize a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish which provides a better surface finish with less back reflection. These breakout cables are perfect when your space is limited, which allows converting a standard fiber-optic network to a high-density MPO network and making a powerful fiber connection.

Q&A
1. Q: Could you supply duplex connector for the pre-terminated cable?
A: Yes. The breakout legs' tubes can be duplex zipcord and terminated with duplex LC or SC or other connectors. But this is not available for 0.9mm diameter branch.
2. Q: How can I identify different channels, cuz there are a lot of branches?
A: Please don't worry. We will add the number rings to the branch tubes to help you identify them. And sometimes the branch tube can be colorful, then you could identify them by color.
3. Q: How long is the breakout legs? Could I customize it?
A: The breakout legs are 0.5M by default. Of course you can customize it to fulfill the end side application.
4. Q: Is this 0.5M branch length included in the total cable length?
A: Yes, you are right. The total length is the distance from the connector ferrule of A side to the ferrule of B side. So the total length includes the branch length. Don't worry about that. We will offer you our drawing for confirmation before production.
