MTP/MPO trunk cable is a cost effective alternative to time consuming field termination, designed for high density fibre patching in data centers with limited space, also reducing cable management troubles.
Select the connector required to match the equipment and / or the patch panel. Different connectors can be specified on each end of the fibre so if this is required simply choose one interface to start with.
Three common types of fibre patch cords are available, multimode fibre at 50/125 (OM3/4) or singlemode fibre at 9/125 (OS2). It is important to match the patch lead to that of the installed fibre and that of the equipment at each end.
The amount of strands of optical fibre used to send data.
There are three different MTP/MPO array patch cords defined in the TIA standard. The three different cables: Type A, B and C are used for the three different connectivity Methods A, B and C respectively.
Each half of a pair of mating connectors is conventionally assigned the designation male or female. The "female" connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the "male" connector.
