Cable Gender Changer VALUE 21.99.1107

The VALUE 21.99.1107 Cable Gender Changer is an MPO-based adapter that converts a 12‑fibre MPO connection to 12 LC connectors. Designed for data center and server-room cabling, it enables interconnection between high-density MPO trunk lines and standard-density LC patching. The unit uses low-loss MPO and LC terminations and is supplied in a black housing. All cables and components are halogen-free (LSOH).

Advantages

This gender changer provides a compact way to break out a 12‑fibre MPO link to individual LC ports, allowing space-efficient routing and improved airflow compared with traditional cable bundles. Factory-terminated connections reduce installation time and ensure tested, consistent performance. The MPO interface follows standard male/female and adapter rules to maintain correct alignment and low attenuation.

Suitable for

• Breaking out MPO trunk cables to LC patch panels or transceivers
• Data centre and server room fibre installations
• Connecting pre-terminated MPO systems to standard-density equipment

How to use

Install the gender changer between an MPO trunk cable and LC patch cords or LC-equipped devices. Observe MPO gender rules: mate a male MPO (with guide pins) to a female MPO (without pins) using a compatible MPO adapter where required. Ensure correct polarity when integrating with cassettes, trunk cables and duplex patchcords — typically following Polarity A where one side is crossed and the other side is straight. Do not dismantle the MPO connector or bend fibres beyond recommended radii.

Usage recommendations

Always pair one male and one female MPO connector and avoid male‑to‑male or female‑to‑female connections. Use factory‑tested trunk and fan‑out combinations to minimise insertion loss and ensure correct alignment of fibre end‑faces.
