The LightWave MTP-MTP 100Gb, 24-Strand, Multimode OM3 Fiber Optic Cable is just what you need for handling tasks that require large bandwidth with ease. This is the perfect cable for the data center that moves a large amount of data across short to medium distances.
As this cable holds 24 fibers, thanks to the MTP brand connector's high-density capability, you have a solution to your fiber optics needs that benefits you in terms of space, which translates to saving money from reduced containment costs.
More benefits of the MTP brand connector come from its unique design that sets it apart from generic MPO-style connects. This design includes removable housing and patented guide pins, which both provide you with more accuracy and connection strength
Using OM3 fiber optics, experience data transfers over a 1Gbps link with a 50/125 micron glass fiber over a distance of up to 1000 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 300 meters at 850nm.
Each cable is assembled in-house at our local facility, and tested for interferometry and insertion loss, so 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.
