EDGE8® Port Breakout Module

The EDGE8® port breakout module enables conversion from a single 4-channel parallel optic port (such as 40GSR4, QSFP) to a patch panel representation with four LC duplex ports for use in a main distribution area. Typically, the MTP® tail will connect to the active electronics and breakout the 8-fibre QSFP 40G transceiver into 4x 2-fibre 10G LC duplex connections. These modules breakout 8-fibre MTP terminations from the rear into 4x LC duplex connectivity at the front. The VFL-compatible shuttered adapters provide reliable dust protection without the need for dust caps and allow for easy fibre identification. All EDGE8 modules are manufactured with Corning® CleanAdvantage™ technology and an optimised MTP dust cap, eliminating the need for cleaning before initial field connection.
