12F MTP APC Male to 12x FC APC Breakout Cable 1m Corning SMF-28e Single Mode Low Loss Ribbonized Fiber Harness

Product Overview

The 12-Core MTP/APC Male to 12CH FC/APC Breakout Cable is a single-mode multi-fiber assembly that converts one 12-fiber MTP/APC male interface into twelve individual FC/APC connections. 

Key Features of the 12-Core MTP to FC/APC Breakout Cable

• 12-core MTP/APC male interface — provides a compact high-density connection for twelve single-mode optical channels.
• 12 individual FC/APC breakout ports — converts the multi-fiber trunk into individually accessible optical connections.
• Corning SMF-28e fiber — provides a defined single-mode fiber platform for optical equipment integration.
• Ribbonised section near the MTP connector — organizes the first 20+ cm of fiber near the high-density connector for controlled routing.
• 3.0 mm yellow PVC protection on the MTP side — supports trunk-side handling and mechanical protection.
• 2.0 mm yellow PVC protection on the FC/APC branches — provides individual protection for the twelve breakout legs.
• 1 m specified assembly length — supports equipment-level and laboratory interconnection, subject to final length definition.
• MTP-to-discrete breakout architecture — allows twelve fibers to transition between a compact connector and separate FC/APC interfaces.

Applications

• Optical test equipment
• Multi-channel optical component testing
• Optical communication equipment integration
• Fiber optic laboratory systems
• Passive optical component testing
• Multi-port optical subsystems
• MTP-to-discrete connector conversion
• OEM fiber optic assemblies

Quality and Testing

Optical performance can be tested according to the agreed specification. Key parameters are verified before shipment when included in the approved inspection criteria. Test reports can be provided upon request. Customized inspection requirements can be discussed, including channel mapping, polarity verification, connector inspection, ribbonised-section length, branch identification, cable length, and optical performance testing.

Why Choose This Product

• High-density to discrete conversion: One 12-fiber MTP/APC interface is separated into twelve FC/APC channels for direct connection to individual optical ports.
• Structured MTP-side fiber routing: The specified ribbonised section near the MTP connector supports organized multi-fiber routing before breakout.
• Project-specific channel definition: MTP polarity, key direction, fiber mapping, and FC/APC branch numbering can be defined to match the target equipment.
• Mechanical configuration review: Cable length, ribbonised section, trunk protection, breakout length, and branch protection can be matched to the installation requirement.
• Testing documentation support: Agreed mapping and optical test requirements can be included in inspection documentation upon request.

FAQ

1. What is the 12-Core MTP/APC Male to FC/APC Breakout Cable used for?

It converts one 12-fiber MTP/APC connection into twelve individual FC/APC channels for multi-channel optical equipment, testing systems, and OEM fiber assemblies.

2. Is the MTP connector male or female?

This configuration uses a 12-core MTP/APC male connector.

3. What fiber is used?

The specified fiber is Corning SMF-28e single-mode fiber.

4. What does “ribbonised for the first 20+ cm” mean?

The supplied requirement specifies that the fiber section nearest the MTP connector is ribbonised for at least approximately 20 cm. The exact length and transition point should be defined in the final drawing.

5. What protection is used on each side?

The MTP trunk side uses a 3.0 mm yellow PVC tube, while the twelve FC/APC breakout branches use 2.0 mm yellow PVC tubing.

6. Is the MTP polarity specified?

No. Type A, Type B, Type C, key orientation, and channel mapping have not yet been provided and should be confirmed before production.

7. Can optical test reports be provided?

Yes. Optical performance can be tested according to the agreed specification, and test reports can be provided upon request.

8. What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide the operating wavelength, fiber type, MTP gender, polarity, key orientation, channel mapping, connector type, cable length, breakout length, package requirement, target optical specifications, and estimated quantity.
