equip 25557307 — MTP to SC Trunk Fiber Patch Cord, OM4, 8 Fibres, 3 m
MTP (female) ↔ SCOM4 · 50/125 µm8 fibres3 m · aqua LSZH
The equip 25557307 is a 3 m multi-mode OM4 trunk patch cord with an 8-fibre MTP connector (female) on one end and SC connectors on the other — four duplex SC pairs, as shown in the manufacturer's product image. It breaks a parallel-optic MTP link out to individual SC ports, for example from an MTP cassette or 40G SR4 port to SC-terminated patch panels or equipment.
The cable uses OM4 50/125 µm fibre in an aqua LSZH jacket, with heat-shrink tubing for strain relief at the connector transition and controlled fibre overcut on the MTP end for consistent mating. It is intended for high-density backbone and data-centre cabling where MTP trunks meet duplex SC infrastructure.
Before you order: The MTP end is female (unpinned), so it must mate with a male (pinned) MTP connector, typically inside a cassette or an MTP adapter with a pinned partner. equip does not publish the polarity method for this cord — check your system's polarity plan (Type A/B/C) before ordering, or send us the details. Multi-mode OM4 only.
What's in the Box
- 1 × equip MTP/SC trunk fiber patch cord, OM4, 3 m
What It Means in Practice
- Use it to land an 8-fibre MTP trunk on four duplex SC ports — e.g. legacy SC patch panels or SC-port equipment.
- OM4 supports the longest multi-mode reach for 10G/40G/100G short-reach optics.
- Female MTP to pinned MTP is the rule: two female or two male MTP connectors cannot mate.
- The aqua jacket identifies OM3/OM4 multi-mode at a glance in a crowded rack.
What Will Not Work
- It will not mate with another female MTP connector — the far side must be pinned (male).
- It will not work on single-mode systems.
- It does not have LC connectors — for LC equipment you need an MTP–LC version.
- Polarity is not stated by equip; a mismatched polarity plan will need a change elsewhere in the channel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect it directly to a 40G QSFP+ SR4 port?
QSFP+ SR4 ports normally have a male (pinned) MPO/MTP interface on the transceiver, so a female cord fits mechanically. Confirm the transceiver's connector gender and polarity before ordering.
Why only 8 fibres?
40G/100G SR4 optics use 8 of the 12 positions in an MTP connector (4 transmit, 4 receive), so 8-fibre cords avoid unused dark fibres.
Do I need a cassette?
Not always — this cord itself is the breakout. A cassette is an alternative when you want the breakout inside a patch panel.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
MTP-to-SC fan-outs are how parallel-optic trunks reach older SC infrastructure. Get two details right before ordering — MTP gender (this one is female) and the polarity method of your system — and keep the fibre type OM4 throughout. Mount the breakout neatly with suitable
rack accessories.
✓ Buy it if you need to break out an 8-fibre OM4 MTP link to SC ports and your far side is a pinned MTP.
✕ Skip it if your equipment uses LC, your system is single-mode, or the mating MTP is also female.
→ Also consider equip 25555407 (MTP to MTP OM4 trunk, Type B, 7 m) for MTP-to-MTP runs.
Send us the transceiver or cassette model and your polarity plan and we will confirm the right MTP cord before you order.
