MTP® to MTP® Female 24 Fibers Singlemode MTP® Trunk Cable 3.0mm LSZH Custom Meters

Product Overview

The 24-Fiber Singlemode MPO/MTP® Trunk Cable is engineered for future-proof, high-capacity networks that demand long-distance transmission and extreme density. Utilizing premium OS2 singlemode fiber, this assembly supports high-speed protocols like 100G and 400G over kilometers, rather than just meters. The cable consolidates 24 distinct fiber strands into a single, compact 3.0mm diameter jacket, streamlining cable management in crowded trays.

At MeFiber, we construct these trunks with Female (Unpinned) connectors to ensure seamless mating with standard male-pinned patch panels or active equipment. The jacket features Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) properties, making it the safest choice for personnel and equipment in poorly ventilated areas. This custom-length solution allows network architects to deploy precise, high-performance links without the signal loss associated with excess slack or adaptors.

Key Features

• Singlemode OS2 Fiber: 9/125μm core optimized for long-haul and high-speed data transmission (1310nm/1550nm).
• High-Density 24-Core Ferrule: Delivers massive bandwidth in a single connector footprint.
• APC Polishing: Angled Physical Contact (8 degrees) minimizes back-reflection (Return Loss ≥60dB).
• LSZH Jacket: Halogen-free material reduces toxic smoke in fire scenarios, meeting IEC safety standards.
• Customizable Lengths: Available in exact meter increments to suit specific data center layouts.
• Slim Profile: 3.0mm round cable design improves airflow and reduces conduit fill rates.

Applications

This singlemode trunk is ideal for critical infrastructure links:

• Campus Backbones: Interconnecting buildings or distant data halls within a facility.
• Telecom Central Offices: High-density aggregation where space is strictly limited.
• 400G Deployment: Supporting next-generation parallel optic standards requiring singlemode precision.
• Structured Cabling: Linking MDA (Main Distribution Area) to HDA (Horizontal Distribution Area) via cassettes.

Specifications

Cross-Platform Compatibility

MeFiber manufactures MPO/MTP® trunk cables to strictly adhere to IEC and TIA standards. This ensures our singlemode assemblies integrate flawlessly with high-speed transceivers and structural hardware from major global OEMs. The 24-fiber OS2 interface is compatible with various high-density platforms:

Why Choose MeFiber Singlemode Trunks?

Singlemode fiber requires extreme precision. Even microscopic misalignments can cause significant data loss. MeFiber uses advanced polishing processes to achieve perfect APC geometry on every MPO/MTP® connector. We rigorously test for Return Loss (RL) to prevent signal reflection issues that degrade high-speed laser performance. By choosing our trunks, you ensure a stable, low-loss foundation for your most critical long-distance links.

FAQ

1. What is the difference between MPO and MTP®?

MPO (Multi-Fiber Push On) is the generic interface standard. MTP® is a specific brand of MPO connector manufactured by US Conec. The MTP® connector incorporates design enhancements, such as a floating ferrule and elliptical guide pins, to ensure superior physical contact and durability. While we adhere to the standard MPO footprint, using MTP® components often results in better long-term reliability.

2. Why is APC polishing required for Singlemode MPO?

Singlemode signals are highly sensitive to back-reflections (light bouncing back to the source). APC (Angled Physical Contact) polishing creates an 8-degree angle on the fiber end-face. This angle deflects reflected light into the cladding rather than back down the core, maintaining a high Return Loss (>60dB) and protecting sensitive transceiver lasers.

3. Can I use this cable for 400G networks?

Yes. Singlemode OS2 fiber is the standard medium for 400G and 800G networks (such as 400G-DR4 or FR4) over distances exceeding 100 meters. This 24-fiber trunk can serve as a high-density backbone to feed multiple 400G links or breakout cassettes.

4. Does “Female” mean it has no pins?

Correct. A Female MPO/MTP® connector has alignment holes but no guide pins. It is designed to mate with a Male connector (which has pins). Most transceivers and active equipment ports have internal pins, so you must use a Female connector to plug into them safely.
