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.

They feature 12-fiber configurations, providing high-capacity connectivity for demanding applications like FTTA and distribution networks.

UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish refers to a connector end face that has been polished with an extended process, resulting in a slightly more conical head shape and improved surface quality. This type of polish achieves a higher return loss (about -50dB or higher), meaning less back reflection compared to standard PC (Physical Contact) polish, which has about -40dB return loss.

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.

The OptiTip®/OptiTap® HMFOC connectors are fully sealed to protect against dust and water immersion, ensuring reliable performance in harsh outdoor conditions.
