Female MTP Elite to LC/UPC Fanout | Base-12 | Single Mode G657.A2

This MTP® Elite to LC/UPC Fanout Assembly features a female Base-12 MTP connector on one side and six LC/UPC duplex connectors on the other. Internally, the cable contains 12 singlemode G657.A2 bend-insensitive fibers, each housed in a 1.8mm subunit and collectively bonded within a 3.0mm main jacket — designed for high-performance, high-density fiber distribution.

The Elite MTP® connector is a premium version of the MPO standard, offering superior alignment, lower insertion loss, and robust mechanical stability. The female connector has alignment slots and mates with MTP male connectors with guide pins. The LC/UPC connectors are terminated with 1.25mm ceramic ferrules and polished for ultra physical contact, ensuring reliable signal transmission and low return loss.

Perfect for QSFP to SFP+ breakout, 400G downlink, or 40G to 10G structured cabling, this fanout is built for enterprise and hyperscale network deployments.
