The MTP®-16 to 2 x MTP®-8 OM4 cable is a single-mode splitter fiber cable, whose MTP®-16 APC end has an 8-degree polished angle to deflect internal optical back reflections from entering the transceiver and distorting the signal quality.

It is designed for linking two 400G optical QSFP-DD/OSFP transceivers transmission to 800G optical QSFP-DD transceiver transmission in data center high-speed fiber links. Compared to purchasing and installing separate breakout cassettes, using MTP® breakout cables is more cost-effective and lower-loss.
