Siemon has released 12-fiber MTP fiber
jumper cables with a 2mm diameter
for improved pathway fill, airflow and
accessibility in high-density fiber patching
areas.
Developed for connecting MPO/MTP
backbone trunk cabling to active
equipment in 40/100-gigabit fiber
applications, the jumpers feature the
compact design of the MTP connector
footprint and Siemon’s smaller 2mm
RazorCore cable.
MTP 2mm jumpers are available in both
B (straight through wiring) and C polarity
for flexible deployment with a variety of
MTP backbone trunks and configurations
while ensuring proper polarity throughout
the channel.
“Accessibility to fiber connections and
airflow around active equipment has
become paramount in high density fiber
computing environments,” said Charlie
Maynard, fiber product manager for
Siemon.
Part of Siemon’s LightHouse advanced
fiber cabling solutions, the new MTP 2mm
jumpers come with either male or female
connectivity to support easy migration
from 10Gb cassette-based MPO/MTP
channels (that use female-to-female trunk
assemblies) to 40/100 gigabit applications
that typically deploy male-to-male trunk
assemblies.
The jumpers are available in OM3 and
OM4 multimode fiber types and plenum,
riser and LSOH. The low loss version has a
loss of just 0.2dB and improved flexibility in
40/100-gigabit fiber applications.
