Switch Port Equipment Harnesses

Switch port equipment harnesses are utilized in the switching area of the data center and to consolidate cabling. The LC to

MPO harnesses connect six (6) or four (4) (depending on the switch blade layout), LC transceivers in the switch to a single MPO

connector in an adapter panel installed in the switch cabinet to within 15m of the switch cabinet. This allows for consolidation of the

switch ports into a single MPO connector. Panduit switch port equipment harnesses come in three different breakout arrangements

shown below in Figure 4. Figure 5 illustrates the application.
