VANDESAIL MPO to MPO OM3 12-Core 0.9m Fiber Cable

VANDESAIL's 0.9m OM3 12-core MPO to MPO cable is a high-density multimode MTP-compatible patch cable designed for short-range, high-speed links and QSFP+/QSFP28 transceiver connectivity.

Engineered for data centers, aggregation closets, and network equipment interconnects, this 3-foot OM3 fiber cable delivers reliable multimode performance with low insertion loss and LSZH safety jacketing. Its 12-core Type B polarity and MTP-compatible MPO connectors make it a flexible choice when adapting 12-core trunking to 8-core or QSFP-style transceivers, supporting 850/1300 nm wavelengths and 50/125 µm fiber geometry.

How does this cable support high-density, high-speed network setups?

The VANDESAIL MPO to MPO cable is built for environments where rack space and port counts matter. OM3 multimode fiber with tight insertion loss guarantees stable short-range transmission and consistent performance for parallel optics like QSFP+ and QSFP28 modules.

• OM3 multimode 50/125 µm fiber for short-range high-speed links
• Maximum insertion loss ≤ 0.35 dB and return loss ≥ 20 dB
• MPO connectors (MTP compatible) for high-density trunking
• Type B polarity compatible with common data center topologies

Can I use this 12-core MPO cable with 8-core QSFP transceivers?

Yes — the 12-core MPO design is compatible with transceiver systems that use 8-core MPO pinned or pinnedless wiring when the proper adapter or breakout patching is used. The cable’s MTP-compatible ferrules and standard polarity reduce the complexity of integrating into existing QSFP+ or QSFP28 deployments.

• Works with QSFP+/QSFP28 using standard breakout or adapter panels
• MTP-compatible MPO connectors for broad interoperability
• Type B polarity simplifies mapping across trunk and harness systems
• Available lengths to match rack-to-rack and shelf-to-shelf spans

What safety and durability features protect my network investment?

This cable uses a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket to reduce toxic emissions and improve fire safety in confined installations. Manufactured to tight tolerances and tested for low insertion loss, the assembly resists frequent moves and handling common in data centers and telecommunication rooms.

• LSZH outer jacket for improved fire-safety and low smoke
• Robust MPO connector bodies for repeated mating cycles
• Strict quality control to maintain insertion and return loss specs
• Multiple factory lengths reduce field splicing and excess slack

Which lengths and technical specs should I expect when ordering?

VANDESAIL offers a range of factory lengths so you can match patch runs precisely and minimize cable congestion. The cable meets multimode performance parameters and connector standards suited for modern parallel optics and high-density panels.

• Lengths available: 1m, 2m, 3m (0.9m/3ft), 5m, 7m, 10m, 15m
• 12-core MPO patch cable, Type B polarity, MTP-compatible connectors
• Insertion loss ≤ 0.35 dB; return loss ≥ 20 dB; wavelengths 850/1300 nm
• Fiber: OM3 50/125 µm; jacket color: aqua

Who is this for: Network engineers, data center technicians, and IT teams who need compact, reliable multimode trunking for short-reach, high-throughput links will find this VANDESAIL OM3 12-core MPO to MPO cable well suited to rack-to-rack, device-to-device, and breakout panel use. Choose this cable when you require MTP-compatible connectors, Type B polarity, LSZH safety jacketing, and a selection of factory lengths to streamline installation and maintain consistent optical performance.
