With the pre-terminated plug & play benefits and ease of scalability from 10-40-100G, MPO/MTP connectors are rapidly becoming the norm of switch-switch connections. In the previous post “Introduction to MPO Connector”, I have talked about two types of MPO connectors—12 fiber MPO connector and 24 fiber MPO connector. And both the two MPO/MTP cable types […]

MTP Links: Base-8 vs. Base-12 vs. Base-24
For data center managers, deploying a fiber system that can easily be upgraded to future high-density network demands is the first thing that should be considered, because network reconfiguration would spend lots of time and money. So it is essential to deploy a fiber network which is easier to upgrade to the higher data rates […]
MTP-8 Solution: Future-Proof Connectivity in Data Center
In most data centers, MTP cable is widely used for high density application. MTP-12 connectivity and MTP-24 connectivity are the two common types of cabling connections, which use links based on increments of 12 and 24, such as 12-fiber trunk cables and 24-fiber trunk cables. In addition to MTP-12 and MTP-24, there is another MTP […]
How Much Do You Know About PM Patch Cables?
When talking about fiber optic patch cables, you may know LC fiber patch cables or MTP/MPO fiber cables. Besides these cables, there are some special fiber patch cables, such as mode conditioning patch cables, which has been introduced in the previous article. Today we will introduce another special fiber patch cable—polarization maintaining (PM) fiber patch […]
Mode Conditioning Patch Cables Overview
Fiber optic patch cables play an important role in fiber optic connection. There are numbers of fiber patch cables on the market, ranging from the standard fiber patch cables to special fiber patch cables, such as mode conditioning patch cables, bend insensitive patch cables, traceable fiber patch cables, etc. This article will not introduce all […]
Basis of Pre-terminated Trunk Cable Assemblies
Pre-terminated trunk cable assemblies provide an ideal plug-and-play solution for links between switches, servers, patch panels, and zone distribution areas in the data center. Compared with field-terminated cabling, the pre-terminated cable assemblies can accelerate the process, reduce costs and errors, and can help bring your data center online in less time. This article will tell […]
