GLOBALfiber MPOF-12LCOS2APCFF-xx is an OS2 singlemode MPO-to-LC fanout cable for distributing a multi-fiber connection to LC terminations. The documented product uses polarity B.
Connector compatibility and polarity
Which MPO cable configuration is required? Match the fiber class, contact count, connector gender, polish and polarity to both ends of the complete connection. A breakout cable does not create breakout support in a switch or transceiver. APC polish must match the mating port.

Installation requirements
Check guide-pin compatibility and the complete polarity map through every adapter, cassette and cable. Clean and inspect both end faces before mating. Verify the transceiver optical interface, fiber lane allocation and loss budget. Never assume that the series list of 40G/100G/200G/400G applications guarantees a specific speed or reach for this ordered assembly.
The title lists eight fibers, while the product number includes “12LC”. Confirm the exact MPO position count, active fiber map and LC termination before ordering; no unverified pinout is assigned here.
