Questions & Answers

Q
Are these assemblies plenum rated?
A
Yes, the jackets are plenum-rated for safe installation in indoor air-handling spaces while still offering outdoor durability.
Q
How does the MTP termination process improve performance and reliability?
A
Our precision termination process ensures all 12 fibers are uniform in height and position. This creates maximum physical contact at the interface, resulting in low insertion loss and excellent return loss.
Q
What advantages does the ultra-thin design provide?
A
The smaller diameter saves space in conduits and trays, reduces weight, and allows easier handling during installation compared to bulkier armored designs.
Q
What does gender mean in terms of a MTP or MPO connector?
A
MTP or MPO connectors are made in male and female. Male connectors contain pins on the end of the connector. Females connectors have no pins and slots instead. To interconnect MTP and MPO connectors you must have a male and female connector. You also much use a MTP or MPO coupler do do so. The pins insert into the female slots to properly algin the fiber endfaces.
Q
What is the difference between an MTP trunk assembly and an MTP fanout assembly?
A
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.
