MTP to 4×LC pairs passive breakout cable JUNIPER MTP-4LC-S5M 5 m length

Passive breakout cable MTP to 4×LC pairs by JUNIPER, model MTP-4LC-S5M, 5 m length, provides a compact solution for converting a multi-fiber MTP/MPO trunk to four duplex LC connections. Designed for data center and telecom rack interconnects, this cable supports standard multimode and singlemode fiber configurations as defined by the connected system and reduces the number of connector transitions for clearer routing and easier management.

Advantages

This JUNIPER MTP to 4×LC pairs cable simplifies fiber management by splitting a single multi-fiber MTP connection into four separate LC duplex links while remaining passive and requiring no power. The 5 m length offers room for flexible routing in rack-to-rack or within-rack deployments. The breakout design reduces the number of adapter panels and connector mating points compared with multiple individual pigtails, helping maintain lower insertion loss and clearer cable organization.

Suitable for

• Data center trunk-to-patch conversions
• Rack-to-rack fiber interconnects
• Telecom equipment connections requiring MTP to LC conversion
• Environments using multimode or singlemode fiber systems where a passive breakout is needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: passive MTP to 4 duplex LC breakout
• Connector A: MTP/MPO multi-fiber connector
• Connector B: four pairs of LC duplex connectors
• Length: 5 meters
• Application: trunking and patching in data center and telecom racks
• Fiber support: multimode or singlemode as determined by installed fiber and system configuration

How to use

Connect the MTP end to the multi-fiber trunk or MTP adapter panel in the patching field, and route the four LC duplex ends to the corresponding LC ports on switches, transceivers, or patch panels. Ensure proper polarity and fiber type matching between the MTP trunk and the LC terminations. Maintain gentle bend radii during routing and secure the cable to cable management hardware to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Verify the system’s required polarity and fiber type (multimode or singlemode) before installation. Use compatible MTP adapters and LC adapters, inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness, and follow standard data center cable management practices to minimize insertion loss and maintain optical performance.
