MPO/MTP to LC/SC Cassette Module: Definition, Applications & Selection Guide

Nov 04, 2025 SOPTO
OpticLink Tech's new high-speed fiber optic connector

1 Introduction to MPO/MTP to LC/SC Cassette Module

The MPO/MTP to LC/SC Cassette Module is a high-density, pre-terminated fiber optic cabling solution, mainly used in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments. The module can achieve efficient connection between MPO/MTP trunk cables and LC or SC interface devices, reduce the need for on-site splicing, and improve the flexibility and manageability of the cabling system.

The internal structure of the Cassette module usually contains a pre-terminated MPO/MTP fiber patch cord, which is precisely branched to multiple LC or SC adapter ports. Its main features include:

High-density design

Multiple modules can be installed in a single 1U rack to improve rack space utilization.

Plug and Play

Factory termination and testing, reducing on-site installation time and errors.

Modular management

Easy to upgrade and maintain, suitable for fiber optic cabling system expansion.

Strong compatibility

Supports OM3/OM4/OM5 multi-mode optical fiber and OS2 single-mode optical fiber, adapting to different needs.
