Questions & Answers
How are the cables protected from water?
They include water-blocking swellable tape that prevents moisture intrusion, making them highly reliable in wet or flood-prone conditions.
What is the difference between an MTP trunk assembly and an MTP fanout assembly?
An MTP trunk assembly is a high-count cable terminated with MTP/MPO connectors on both ends. An MTP fanout assembly, also called a breakout cable, transitions from an MTP connector to multiple single-fiber connectors enabling connection to patch panels, transceivers, or other network equipment.
Do these cables require conduit for burial?
No, they are built for direct burial and do not require conduit, helping reduce installation time and cost.
What jacket types are available for MTP assemblies?
MTP assemblies are available in indoor plenum, indoor/outdoor plenum-rated, outdoor loose tube (OSP), and outdoor armored direct burial. This provides a solution for both controlled data center environments and demanding outdoor installations.
Can these cables be installed overhead?
Yes, in addition to direct burial, they can be lashed to a guy wire or secured to buildings for aerial or surface-mounted applications.
