Fan Out Cables provide the breakout solution you need when connecting high-density MTP/MPO trunk cables to individual duplex fibre connections. These assemblies split a single multi-fibre connector into multiple simplex or duplex connections, allowing you to connect backbone infrastructure directly to active equipment ports or patch panels.
Network installers and data centre operators rely on fanout cables to transition from structured cabling systems to end devices. You face a choice between multimode and single-mode variants, each matching your fibre infrastructure type. Multimode options support OM3 and OM4 applications over shorter distances, utilising LED or VCSEL light sources. Single-mode versions deliver longer reach capabilities for campus backbones and metro connections. Cable lengths range from short breakout assemblies for rack applications through to extended runs for floor distribution.
Your selection depends on three factors: fibre type that matches your infrastructure, the number of fibres you need to break out (typically 8, 12, or 24), and the connector type required at each fibre termination. Standard configurations utilise LC duplex connectors at the breakout end, although SC and ST options are available for integrating legacy equipment. Each fibre leg includes a protective jacket, typically a 900 micron buffered construction, providing the mechanical protection required for handling and routing. Boot colours follow industry standards to identify fibre types and polarity.
These cables connect MTP/MPO cassettes, modules, and trunk cables to standard patching infrastructure. We stock both multimode and single-mode configurations to match OM3, OM4, and OS2 specifications.
