The STARTECH MPO12PL5M is a 5-meter (16.4-foot) MTP(F)/PC OM3 multimode fiber optic cable, designed for high-density network environments. This 12-fiber, Type-A cable facilitates connections between networking devices operating at various speeds, such as 40Gbps switches or servers. It can also be used to connect a 40Gbps switch and fan out to six duplex 10Gbps LC connections via a patch panel or network cassette, supporting individual 10Gbps devices. The MTP connectors offer increased density compared to SC connectors, optimizing rack space and circuit card utilization. Its plenum-rated jacket makes it suitable for installations requiring a CMP fire rating. Each cable is individually tested for insertion and return loss, with a report included.
This MPO/MTP fiber optic cable houses 12 fibers and lets you interface between different networking devices of varying speeds. For example, you can set up a one-to-one connection between two 40Gbps switches or servers. Alternatively, you can connect a 40Gbps switch and break out the 40Gbps into six duplex 10Gbps LC connections on a patch panel or network cassette, which then fans out to individual 10Gbps devices.
The MTP connector provides twelve times the density of an SC connector and saves circuit card and rack space. Plus, the push-and-pull tabs optimize accessibility and let you install or remove the connectors with one hand, without having to use additional tools.
The MTP to MTP cable is housed in a plenum-rated jacket and is ideal for installations where CMP fire rating is required.
Each OM3 fiber cable has been individually tested for insertion loss and return loss. The full test report is included in each cable bag.
The MPO12PL5M from StarTech.com is backed by a lifetime warranty.
