Breakout Cables Bundle Fan-out
Fan‑Out Fiber Optic Cable
Overview: Fan‑Out Fiber Cable is a specialized optical cable designed for splitting multi‑fiber bundles into individual 900µm legs for termination and connectorization. It allows 250µm fibers from loose‑tube or ribbon cables to be transitioned into 900µm tight‑buffered strands, perfect for connecting to patch panels, ODF shelves, or pre‑terminated assemblies. Each fiber is color‑coded, buffered, and protected inside fan‑out tubing for simple installation and strain relief.
Benefits & Applications
Fan‑Out cables ensure quick fiber identification, simplified management, and minimal mechanical stress during termination. They are extensively used in central offices, data centers, industrial fiber systems, and high‑density breakout boxes. Compatible with SC, LC, FC, ST, and MPO connector termination, they deliver excellent reliability for FTTH, DWDM, LAN, and backbone infrastructures.
