In the rapidly evolving digital era, enterprise networks, cloud computing, and data centers demand robust and scalable fiber optic infrastructure. Gcabling, a professional supplier of fiber optic connectivity, offers an integrated solution combining MPO Patch Panels and MPO Patch Cords, designed to support next-generation 40G/100G/400G networks.
Understanding MPO Patch Panels and MPO Patch Cords
A MPO Patch Panel, also known as a MPO Fiber Patch Panel, is a modular optical distribution frame that houses multiple high-density MPO Modules. These panels facilitate rapid and organized deployment of backbone cabling systems, enabling centralized fiber management and quick transitions using MPO-LC Modules.
1U support for up to 144 fibers, maximizing rack space efficiency
Modular sub-trays that are fully extendable, allowing independent access and maintenance
Latest 24-core cassette design that enhances installation speed and reduces operational complexity
Compatibility with MPO-LC Modules for quick transitions between backbone and patch cabling
Tool-free assembly and removal for ease of use
Customizable port counts (12, 24 fibers)
MPO Patch Cords, on the other hand, are pre-terminated multi-fiber cables (12, 24, 48 cores), used to interconnect equipment within or between racks. Gcabling offers a wide variety including mpo to lc breakout cords, mpo-mpo patch cords, and mpo/mtp patch cords for various applications.
Key Types of Gcabling MPO Patch Cords
-
MPO to LC Patch Cord
Converts MPO backbone cables to standard LC interfaces for connection to equipment. Ideal for transitions from trunk cabling to switches or transceivers. -
MPO-MPO Patch Cord
Used for direct MPO-to-MPO connections in backbone or horizontal cabling systems. Available in 12-core formats. -
MPO/MTP Patch Cord
Designed with MTP (high-performance MPO) connectors for ultra-low loss applications, supporting 40G/100G/400G data transmission.
Fiber Patch Cord MPO/UPC(male)-MPO/UPC(female)
Fiber Optical Patch Cord fanout MPO/UPC(Male) – LC/UPC (Male)
Fiber Patch Cord fanout MPO/APC(Male) – LC/UPC (Male)
MPO Module & MPO-LC Module Explained
The heart of any MPO Patch Panel is the MPO Module. These cassettes house the internal fanout of fibers, usually breaking out from an MPO connector to LC connectors on the front panel. Gcabling offers both standard MPO Modules and MPO-LC Modules, providing seamless transition from backbone cabling to patching interfaces.
These modules are:
-
Factory pre-terminated and tested
-
Available in multimode OM4 and singlemode G657A2 variants
-
Designed with easy slide-in cassette systems
-
Clearly labeled for quick identification and maintenance
