OPTICO Introduces PM MPO Breakout Cable
OPTICO has added a polarization maintaining (PM) MPO breakout cable to its fiber assembly range. The assembly connects a multifiber MPO interface to individually terminated branches, giving engineers access to each optical channel for testing and system integration.

Individual Channel Access with Defined Axis Alignment
In a PM test setup, each fiber must reach the intended instrument port with the specified polarization axis orientation. The assembly drawing defines both the channel map and the required slow or fast axis alignment so they can be reviewed before production.
For example, a 12 fiber MPO assembly can break out to 12 individual FC/APC connectors for a test bench that needs access to each channel. Branch connector types and lengths can be selected to fit the equipment and routing layout.
Configuration Options
- PM fiber options for 1310 nm or 1550 nm applications
- Custom fiber count, channel mapping and branch lengths
- Branch connector options including FC, LC and SC
- Standard and low loss grades, with optical limits defined for the selected configuration
The assembly is suited to polarization sensitive applications such as photonic device characterization, optical module testing and lab test fixtures. For a configuration review, share your operating wavelength, interface drawing and targets for insertion loss (IL), return loss (RL) and polarization extinction ratio (PER).
