OPTKO's MPO MicroCable Trunks facilitate rapid deployment of high-density backbone cabling in data centers or other high fiber density environments reducing network installation or reconfiguration time and cost. They are used to interconnect cassettes, panels or ruggedised MPO Fan Outs, spanning MDA, HDA and EDA zones. These are offered in all fiber types as standard 12 to 144 core versions using a compact and rugged MicroCable structure. The compact cables optimize cable-way use and improve airflow. MPO low loss Premium versions are offered featuring low insertion loss for demanding high-speed networks where power budgets are critical.
MPO Interface – MPO components feature superior optical and mechanical properties
Optimised Performance – Low loss Premium MPO and OM4 fiber assures low insertion losses and power penalties in tight power budget high speed network environment
High Density – Multifiber connector and compact dimension of ruggedised MicroCable ease space in costly data center environments
Rapid Deployment – Factory terminated modular system saves installation and reconfiguration time during moves, adds and changes
Reliability – 100% tested – Combination of high quality components and manufacturing quality control guarantees product to the highest standard
Next Generation Network Proof – Emerging high speed protocol are going to use MPO interface
