Questions & Answers

Q
What makes Indoor/Outdoor Ultra-Thin Armored MTP trunks different from standard armored cables?
A
These assemblies use Micro Armor Fiber™ with a stainless steel coil design, which makes them up to 65% smaller in diameter and 75% lighter than traditional interlocking armor while still providing crush and rodent resistance.
Q
What strength elements are built into the cable?
A
A water-blocking aramid yarn strength member reinforces the assembly, providing additional durability against moisture and tension.
Q
Where are these assemblies typically used?
A
They are ideal for data centers, enterprise backbones, telecommunications networks, and building-to-building connections that require both indoor and outdoor performance.
Q
Why are genuine US Conec® MTP connectors important for performance?
A
US Conec® connectors are the industry standard for precision and reliability. Using genuine components ensures consistent performance, durability, and compatibility with existing infrastructure.
Q
What is APC polish?
A
APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish refers to a connector end face that is polished at an 8° angle. This angled tip, combined with a specific end face radius, minimizes back reflection to about -60dB. APC connectors are typically green for easy identification.
