Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main advantage of using MPO trunk cables?
MPO trunk cables allow for ultra-high-density connectivity by consolidating up to 24 fibers into one connector. This saves significant space in data center racks and improves airflow by reducing cable bulk.
What is the difference between OM3 and OM4 fiber?
Both are multimode fibers. OM3 is designed for 10G up to 300 meters, while OM4 is optimized for 40G/100G/400G transmission over longer distances and features higher bandwidth capacity.
Can these cables be used for 400G networks?
Yes, these MPO/MTP trunk cables are specifically designed to support high-speed transceivers like QSFP-DD and OSFP used in 400G Ethernet applications.
What are Type A, Type B, and Type C polarities?
These refer to the fiber mapping between connectors. Type A is straight-through, Type B is inverted (cross), and Type C is pair-flipped. Choosing the right one ensures the transmit signal reaches the correct receiver.
Is LSZH jacket necessary?
Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) is highly recommended for indoor installations, especially in data centers, as it emits limited smoke and no toxic halogens if exposed to high heat.
Are the cables tested before shipping?
Yes, every cable is 100% factory pre-terminated and undergoes rigorous 3D interferometer inspection and insertion loss testing to ensure peak performance.
