The high density MPO connector allows for the simple termination of the fiber backbone. Once installed the backbone needs to have the correct interface to suit the needs of the network hardware.

The MPO fan-out is a crucial part of the system converting from the high density MPO to the interface required by your hardware. Available in either breakout or pigtail versions the MPO fan-out gives the flexibility to choose a product that perfectly meets your needs.

Using the MPO connector on pre-terminated fiber solutions, allows the engineer to prepare distribution panels or boxes in the comfort of a lab or workshop. This can be taken a step further by having the distribution cabinets built in a clean facility and only taken to site when the installation is due to go live. This saves time, reduces the possibility of damage to the fragile optical tails and reduces the risk of dirt ingress into fiber couplers. If preferred FiberFab can supply distribution panels or boxes pre-assembled with the MPO fan-out installed to suit your interface requirements; contact the sales office number with your requirements.

FiberFab has 15 years experience in manufacturing fiber optic cable assemblies using Biconic and SMA through ST, SC to today’s Small Form Factor connectors like the LC, MU, MT-RJ or SC-DC. If you have a fiber network, no matter what the technology, FiberFab can offer you a solution to your problem.

The FiberFab range of fiber optic assemblies has grown through the years, from every day standard lengths to special products to meet your needs. From industry standard 62.5/125 multimode to 9/125 singlemode right the way up to state of the art OM3 50/125 cable assemblies, FiberFab can supply them all.

With a FiberFab assembly you can be confident you are using the very best in cable, connectors and manufacturing.

Specifications

Description

The FiberFab MPO fanout fiber assemblies are manufactured using the best quality components. The connectors are the market leading FiberFab range of connectors, and the cable exceeds all areas of the standards required for the assembly being produced.

Non-standard assemblies can be made to your own exacting standards in our ISO 9001 UK production facility. This encompasses all of the essential tools to ensure the products not only meet but also exceed the requirements laid down in IEC international standards for fiber optic terminations.
