OEM and customized MTP/MPO cable assemblies are available for different data center and structured cabling requirements. Options can include fiber count, cable length, OM3/OM4 fiber type, connector gender, MTP/MPO connector configuration, polarity, jacket material, jacket color, and labeling.

Custom breakout and trunk configurations can also be produced for specific equipment and cabling architectures. For project-based requirements, customers can specify the required transmission standard, fiber count, connector configuration, polarity, cable length, and installation environment.

What does the 8 × 12-fiber configuration mean?

The 8 × 12 configuration means the cable contains eight MTP/MPO connector positions, with each connector carrying 12 optical fibers. Together, these eight 12-fiber groups provide a total of 96 optical fibers in one high-density cable assembly.

Is OM4 suitable for 400G applications?

OM4 multimode fiber can be used for certain short-reach 400G architectures, but the supported distance and transmission method depend on the specific transceiver and optical interface. The cable itself should therefore be matched with the required 400G multimode standard and connector configuration.

What is the difference between male and female MTP/MPO connectors?

The primary difference is the presence of guide pins. Male MTP/MPO connectors have guide pins that provide alignment during mating, while female connectors do not. The correct gender combination depends on the equipment, adapter, cassette, or other MTP/MPO component being connected.

Why use an 8 × 12-fiber trunk instead of individual duplex patch cables?

A multi-fiber trunk consolidates many optical connections into a single compact cable assembly. This reduces the number of individual cables that need to be routed through racks and pathways, helping improve cable management, airflow, installation efficiency, and overall port density.

Can the cable be used with MTP/MPO cassettes?

Yes. The cable can be integrated with compatible MTP/MPO cassettes and adapter modules to create structured, high-density fiber cabling systems. Connector gender and polarity should be selected according to the cassette and overall link architecture.

What should be considered when deploying the cable in a plenum space?

The cable jacket must have the appropriate fire and smoke rating required by the local installation code. A plenum-rated construction such as OFNP is commonly selected for installations requiring plenum-rated optical cable, but the applicable local regulations and project specifications should always be verified before deployment.
