Equip MTP to SC Trunk Fibre Patch Cord, OM4 Multimode, 8 Fibres, 50/125 µm, LSZH, Aqua, 15m
Equip MTP to SC Trunk Fibre Patch Cord — OM4 Multimode, 8 Fibres, 15 m
The Equip MTP/SC trunk fibre patch cord (25557707) is a pre-terminated OM4 multimode cable, 15 m long, with one MTP connector at one end and individual SC connectors at the other. It breaks an 8-fibre MTP port out to SC ports — typically between an MTP cassette or parallel-optics port and older SC patch panels or equipment in a data centre or comms room.
Equip builds it from OM4 50/125 µm fibre in an aqua LSZH jacket, with heat-shrink tubing at the connector transition for strain relief and a controlled MTP fibre overcut of 1.0–3.0 µm for consistent optical contact.
What's in the Box
- 1 × MTP/SC trunk fibre patch cord, 15 m, factory-terminated
- MTP adapters, cassettes, SC couplers and cleaning tools are not included
What It Means in Practice
- One MTP connector carries all eight fibres, so a single cord replaces four duplex SC patch leads on the MTP side.
- OM4 50/125 µm is the current high-bandwidth multimode grade for short-reach data-centre links.
- SC on the breakout side suits patch panels and devices that use SC rather than LC.
- The aqua LSZH jacket marks it as OM3/OM4 multimode in the rack and is suited to indoor use in occupied buildings.
What Will Not Work
- Single-mode (OS2) panels or optics — this is OM4 multimode.
- LC ports: the breakout side is SC — use SC-to-LC hybrid cords or an MTP-to-LC cord instead.
- An MTP port of the same gender — MTP mates male to female only.
- Outdoor or direct-burial runs: it is an indoor LSZH patch cord.
