HPE Premier Flex MPO to 4xLC 30m Fiber Optic Network Cable

Overview

The HPE Q1H68A is a 30 meter fiber optic breakout cable designed to provide efficient and reliable connectivity in high-density network environments. It features an MPO12 connector on one end that breaks out into four LC connectors, allowing a single QSFP port to connect to four separate SFP transceivers. With a slim 3 mm diameter and a minimum bend radius of 7.5 mm, this cable is ideal for routing through tight spaces without compromising signal integrity.

Key features

• Breaks out a single QSFP port into four SFP connections, simplifying network expansion and segmentation.
• Slim 3 mm outer diameter enables neat cable management in crowded racks and conduits.
• Minimum bend radius of 7.5 mm allows flexible routing around corners without risking damage or signal loss.
• Blue jacket provides easy visual identification to speed up troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
• Lightweight design at 0.21 kg reduces strain on cable trays and equipment.
