The MPO-8 and MPO-16 cables have a similar physical appearance. Hence, when connecting the cables to
the MPO-8 or MPO-16 adapters, use only MPO-8 and MPO-16 cables to connect to their respective adapters
because the optical signals will not pass through the module if a wrong cable is used.
Note
The front panel layout for the MPO-16 to 16-LC Fan-out Connection Verification Module is the same as the
MPO-16 to 16-LC Fan-out Module layout.
