The new jumper cable from Siemon

2mm jumper cable

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.
