When seeking optimal performance for your 10 Gigabit cassette-to-cassette fiber optics applications, the LightWave 24-Fiber Multimode OM4 Dual MTP/MPO Fiber Optic Cable is the way to go. An advanced version of the MPO connector style with an emphasis on performance, the MTP brand connector has helped network administrators breathe a huge sigh of relief for handling major data management and transmission tasks.
This cable comes in a zipcord style, giving you control of the desired breakout length, and with the ability to house 24 fibers in such a compact space, this cable is a saving grace for those working with extremely limited room.
The MTP brand connectors features are designed not only to improve performance, but to also give you a longer lasting connector, with features that help prevent component damage.
With industry-best OM4 fiber optics, you can transmit data over a 1Gbps link with a 50/125 micron glass fiber over a distance of up to 1100 meters at a wavelength of 850nm, and over a distance of up to 550 meters at 1300nm. For a 10Gbps link, you can transfer data over a distance of up to 550 meters at 850nm.
Each cable is assembled in the USA, and tested for interferometry and insertion loss, so you can enjoy the American-made quality and high performance that LightWave cables provide.
LightWave brand MTP Cables are fully compliant with the guidelines of the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), and are approved for United States Government use.
Choose Your Polarity
Type A - Straight: Straight-through polarity is typically for connecting patch panels. They are wired in a mirrored configuration, going from Pin 1 on one connector end to Pin 1 on the opposite end, etc.
Type B - Rollover: Rollover polarity is used primarily for connecting to switches and transceivers in 40Gb applications. In a 12-strand rollover polarity, the cable is wired from Pin 1 on one connector end to Pin 12 on the opposite end. Then 2 to 11, and so forth.
Type C - Flipped: Pair-Flipped polarity is the most commonly used polarity type for this cable, and typically used in cassette-to-cassette applications. Pin 1 on one end goes to Pin 2 on the opposite end, and 2 to 1, 3 to 4, 4 to 3, and so on. This is the default polarity option, but you can select your desired polarity from our drop-down menu above.
