Tackle the ever-growing need for more data bandwidth, transfer speeds and work space with the LightWave MTP 144-Strand, OS2 Singlemode Fiber Optic Cable. As the MTP® brand connector becomes the standard, more and more data-centric telecommunications and electronics operations are upgrading their existing, outdated infrastructure to meet requirements for higher throughput.
With the MTP brand connector, you get more features and flexibility over generic MPO-style connectors, which gives you more control to optimize the performance of your fiber optic cable. One of these advantages is removable house, which allows you to re-polish and re-work the MT ferrule for the best possible accuracy. Another benefit lies in the MTP brand connectors spring design, which maximizes ribbon clearance for multifiber ribbon applications, preventing fiber damage.
With Singlemode OS2 fiber optics, experience data transmissions over a 1Gbps link with a 9/125 micron glass fiber over a distance of up to 10,000 meters at a wavelength of 1310nm. For a 10Gbps link, you can transfer data over a distance of up to 5,000 meters at 1310nm, and 30,000 meters at 1550nm.
Each cable is assembled in-house at our local facility, and tested for interferometry and insertion loss, all in an effort to bring you the highest possible American-made quality and 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.
