Reliable, high-density connections for backbone and zone cabling. The MPO connector is the most compact connector available on multistrand fiber cables. No termination needed-reduces installation time and costs. MPO Patch Cable features 12 fiber strands with an MPO connector on each end. Use for point-to-point application or for connections to standard patch panels. Run multistrand fiber optic cables without worrying about expensive, time-consuming termination. Because they''re preterminated, you can install and test them in the same day!MPO Cables are one-third the size of tight-buffered fiber optic cables. They fit into tighter spaces and have a smaller minimum bend radius. And the MPO connector supports up to 12 fibers in a tiny connector!Although MPO Cables are "ribbon" type, they are built for heavy-duty use and have the extra protection of a thermoplastic PVC jacket covering the fiber ribbon. Use MPO Cables in any high-density fiber optic environment, such as digital cross-connects, optical backplanes, parallel processing applications, and Fibre Channel storage facilities.
