The MPO trunk cables with a braided tubing jacket are typically designed for a longer cable length in cabinet-to-cabinet applications or for connecting different areas of a building. MPO cable, a cost-effective alternative to time-consuming field termination, is designed for high-density fiber patching in data centers which need space saving and reduce cable management problems.
Due to the MPO-12 also supporting MPO-8 fiber systems, it is optimized for 40G QSFP+ PLR4 to 10G SFP+ LR, 400G OSFP/QSFP-DD DR4 to 100G QSFP DR and 400G OSFP/QSFP-DD XDR4 to 100G QSFP FR optics connection.
Please note: The US Conec MTP® connectors are fully compliant with the MPO standards, achieving higher performance levels when compared to generic MPO connectors.
