MTP-16 to 2 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OS2, Crossover

This MTP®-16 Female APC with Offset Key breakout cable splits a high density multi-fiber interface into smaller legs, so one port can feed several lower speed links. OS2 9/125μm fiber and Plenum (OFNP) jacket with 16 Fibers make it a tidy alternative to cassette based fan-out.
Standard lengths are 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft) and 40m (131ft). Because we are the manufacturer, any other length between or beyond these steps can be produced on request, with your choice of jacket color, labeling and packaging.

Applications
In leaf-spine and GPU cluster cabling, this breakout replaces a cassette plus multiple jumpers with one tested assembly. The 16-fiber interface matches 400G SR8 optics, where all 16 fibers carry active transmit and receive lanes. Each leg is marked so port mapping is unambiguous during installation.
Breakout Geometry and Wiring
Each breakout leg is individually jacketed, labeled and measured, and the transition from trunk to legs is protected against pulling forces. If your installation needs different leg lengths or a different lane mapping, we can build it to your drawing.
Ordering Information
Ordering is simple: send us 16FMTPSMF and your required lengths and quantities, and we return a factory quote the same working day. The 1m (3ft) version is the standard model; Small trial orders are welcome before you commit to a full project rollout.
