INTRODUCTION TO MTP® FIBER CABLE SOLUTIONS

High performance, high density MTP fiber cable solutions can replace up to 12 traditional fiber connectors with one single small form factor connector reducing installation time and labor costs. They are suitable for a variety of applications including data centers, telecommunications, broadcast communication, and industrial control applications. These multi-fiber solutions provide advantages in size, offering 12 times the density when compared to a similarly sized SC connector.

Factory terminated and tested, MTP solutions provide significant installation time savings during installation or reconfiguration. A push-pull design is utilized for easy mating and removal. Break-out solutions are ideal for making connections within rack mounted or wall mounted fiber enclosures that utilize single fiber connectors.

Key Features of typical MTP Fiber Cables:

• Made in the USA
• Available in fiber counts from 12 — 144
• Factory tested for insertion loss
• Compact push-pull locking mechanism
• Reduces installation time and costs
• PC polish for multimode fiber; APC polish for single-mode fiber
• Ribbon cables are 1/3 the size of tight buffered fiber optic cables, which enables them to fit into tight spaces and have a smaller minimum bend radius
• Meets TIA/EIA 604-5 (FOCIS-5) standard for MPO/MTP connectors
• Designed and tested to Telcordia-GR-1435
