Running in leading US AI labs.

Our cables connect GPU clusters at leading AI labs across the US, including the highest-speed switches and routers on 400G and 800G architectures. At these speeds, every tenth of a dB and every polarity mistake shows up as link errors.

800G

Single mode MPO for DR8 optics

Low-loss 16-fiber MPO/APC trunks for 800G spine and leaf links, tested fiber by fiber so every lane lands in budget.

Typical build: OS2, 16F, MPO/APC to MPO/APC

800G to 2×400G

Breakouts that split one port into two

One 16-fiber MPO fans out into two 8-fiber MPO legs, so a single 800G port feeds two 400G devices without a cassette.

Typical build: OS2, 16F split into 2 × MPO/APC

400G

DR4 and SR8 connections

8- and 16-fiber MPO assemblies in single mode or OM4, with the pin gender and polarity your optics expect.

Typical build: OS2, 8F, MPO/APC female, Type B

400G to 4×100G

Server and NIC fanouts

An 8-fiber MPO split into four duplex LC legs, cut to the distance between the switch and each server.

Typical build: OS2, 8F split into 4 × LC/UPC duplex

Stop paying for cable you coil in the rack.

Catalog cables jump between a few stock lengths, like 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 meters, with a handful of connector pairs. Real racks don't. Here's a run that needs 4 meters.

Off the shelf

Nearest stock length is 5 m, with LC on both ends.

Needed 4 mBought 5 m
  • An extra meter of slack looped behind the patch panel, blocking airflow
  • A 12-fiber trunk becomes 6 separate duplex cords and a cassette
  • Extra mated pairs add insertion loss to your link budget

Configured with FiberHalo

Built to 4 m with the connectors each end actually plugs into.

Needed 4 mBuilt 4 m
  • Any whole-meter length from 1 to 25 m, priced per meter
  • One MPO-to-LC split cable replaces the cords and the cassette
  • Clean runs, fewer connection points, a rack you can still work in

Tested one cable at a time.

We don't sample a batch and hope. Every fiber in every assembly is measured before it leaves us. Anything outside our limits is reworked or scrapped.

Optical performance

Insertion loss and return loss measured per fiber at 1310/1550 nm for single mode and 850/1300 nm for multi mode.

End-face inspection

Every ferrule is checked under magnification against IEC 61300-3-35 for scratches, pits and contamination.

Geometry and polish

Interferometer checks of radius of curvature, apex offset and fiber height keep mated connectors in physical contact.

Polarity verification

MPO polarity is checked end to end, so every fiber lands in the position your channel expects.

ConnectorInsertion lossReturn loss
LC, SC, FC, E2000, single mode UPC≤ 0.25 dB≥ 50 dB
LC, SC, FC, E2000, single mode APC≤ 0.25 dB≥ 60 dB

Maximum values per mated connector pair. Anything outside these limits is reworked or scrapped, never shipped.

Made for the rooms where links can't fail.

Our core work is data center cabling, and the same build standard goes into every other application we serve.

Data centers

Spine-leaf fabrics, high-density MPO trunks and breakouts that take 40G, 100G and 400G ports down to individual LC connections.

Typical build: 12F MPO/UPC to 6 duplex LC, OM4

Telecom and 5G

Low-reflection APC assemblies for central offices, fronthaul and outside-plant cabinets where return loss matters.

Typical build: simplex SC/APC to LC, single mode

Enterprise and campus

Backbone and horizontal links between telecom rooms, cut to the distances your floor plan actually has.

Typical build: duplex LC to SC, multi mode

Broadcast and AV

Rugged patch cords for studios, OB vans and live events carrying uncompressed video over fiber.

Typical build: duplex LC, single mode

Labs and test benches

Reference-grade jumpers with tight loss limits for transceiver validation and equipment qualification.

Typical build: simplex LC/UPC, single mode

Questions buyers ask.

Do you offer a discount for a first order?

Yes. Use code FIRST15 at the payment step for 15% off your first order. It applies once per customer, and it works alongside our volume pricing.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. You can order a single cable. Volume pricing starts automatically at 10 pieces of the same configuration.

What's the difference between a simple and a split cable?

A simple cable has the same fiber count on both ends, like an MPO-to-MPO trunk or a duplex LC-to-SC cord. A split cable (also called a breakout or fanout) starts as one multi-fiber connector and splits into several legs, like one 12-fiber MPO into 12 LC connectors.

Which polarity and pin gender do I need?

For duplex cords, A-to-B is the standard. For MPO trunks, match the polarity method (Type A, B or C) used by your cassettes and transceivers. MPO equipment ports and cassettes usually have pins (male), so trunks between them are typically female on both ends. If you're unsure, send us the part numbers on each end and we'll confirm.

What do LSZH, OFNR and OFNP mean?

They're fire ratings for the cable jacket. LSZH gives off low smoke and no halogens, and is standard for data centers and most indoor use. OFNR (riser) is rated for vertical runs between floors. OFNP (plenum) is the highest rating, required in air-handling spaces such as raised floors and drop ceilings in many buildings.

How long does a custom build take, and what does shipping cost?

Orders ship within 5 business days of confirmation. US ground shipping is a flat $20 to the contiguous states, or $40 to Alaska and Hawaii, and it's free on orders over $500.

Can I return a custom cable?

Because each cable is built to your specification, we can't take back cables that match what you ordered. If a cable is defective or doesn't match your order, we'll repair, replace or refund it. See our returns and refunds policy.

Do your cables work with 400G and 800G optics?

Yes. Our cables run in 400G and 800G networks at leading US AI labs. Choose MPO with the fiber count, polish, pin gender and polarity your transceivers need, or send us the optics part numbers and we'll spec it for you.

Should I choose single mode or multi mode?

Match whatever your transceivers and existing plant use. Single mode is the choice for long runs and telecom; multi mode is common for short data center links. If you're unsure, check the transceiver label or send us the part number.

Are the cables tested?

Yes. Every cable is tested for insertion loss and return loss, and every connector end face is inspected, before it ships. We don't include individual test certificates with each cable.
