Breakout Cable is a special cable used to split a high-density, high-rate network interface into multiple lower-rate interfaces. Breakout Cable facilitates the connection of fiber optics directly to end devices or to other fiber optic devices in a cabling system. It is used to optimize equipment port utilization and simplify cabling structures, and is commonly used in data centers and high-performance computing environments.

Custom Breakout & Fan-Out Cable Assembly Services

Kaweei specializes in manufacturing custom "Breakout Cables" (also known as Fan-out cables or Splitter cables). We take high-density multi-core cables or complex connectors and distribute them into individual channels. Our custom assemblies resolve cabling congestion, simplify field installation, and provide robust strain relief at the critical branching point.

Structure Zone Design Options Kaweei Assembly Expertise
The "Trunk" (Input) High-Density Interface We handle heavy-duty multi-core cables terminated with high-pin-count connectors (e.g., D-Sub, M23, Circular MIL-Spec, or Multi-fiber MPO) acting as the main signal highway.
The "Breakout" (Transition) Strain Relief Junction Critical Process: This is the weak point in standard cables. We use custom overmolding, heat-shrink breakout boots, or metal splitters to mechanically secure the transition from one thick cable to multiple thin wires.
The "Tails" (Output) Individual Connectors We terminate the split ends with your required connectors (BNC, RJ45, SMA, XLR, or Ferrules). We can protect each tail with braided sleeving (Techflex) for abrasion resistance.
Length Logic Equal or Staggered Custom Fit: We can manufacture the tails with "staggered lengths" (each wire a different length) to perfectly match the port spacing on your patch panel or equipment, eliminating cable loops.
Identification Labeling System We apply individual cable markers (flags, wrap-arounds, or heat-shrink tubes) on each tail (e.g., Port 1, Port 2...), making troubleshooting instant and error-free.

From Cable Chaos to Organized Precision

Breakout cables are essential for organizing complex systems. Kaweei transforms bulk cable into "Plug-and-Play" distribution systems:

  • Space Saving: By running one thick cable instead of 10 or 20 individual cables, you significantly reduce conduit congestion and improve airflow in server racks or control cabinets.
  • Reliability: Field-stripping a multi-core cable to attach connectors is risky and messy. Our factory-made breakouts are machine-terminated and fully tested for continuity and isolation.
  • Material Selection: We source specific jacket types (PVC, PUR, LSZH) based on your environment—whether it's a static server room or a dynamic robotic arm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a 'Breakout Cable' in the context of custom wire harnesses?

A Breakout Cable (or Fan-out cable) is an assembly that takes a single high-density connection point (like a multi-core cable or a high-pin-count connector) and splits it into multiple separate, lower-density connectors. It is used to distribute signals from one central source to multiple destination devices without running multiple long cables.

Can Kaweei manufacture breakout cables with 'staggered' tail lengths?

Yes. This is a common request. Instead of having all breakout legs the same length, we can cut them to progressive lengths (staggered) to match the physical spacing of the ports on your equipment. This results in a much neater installation with no excess cable loops cluttering your rack or cabinet.

How do you ensure the cable doesn't break at the splitting point?

The 'breakout point' is the most critical mechanical area. We reinforce this transition using specialized adhesive-lined heat shrink boots, molded Y-splitters, or metal breakout shells. This provides robust strain relief, preventing the individual wires from being pulled out of the main jacket.
