FAQ
Q1: What is the main application of MPO/MPO OM4 patch cables?
They are primarily used in data centers and high-speed networks for parallel transmission, supporting applications such as 40G, 100G, and future 400G deployments.
Q2: What is the difference between 12-fiber and 24-fiber MPO cables?
12-fiber cables are commonly used for 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 links, while 24-fiber cables double the density, supporting higher-bandwidth connections and efficient trunk cabling.
Q3: Why choose OM4 fiber for MPO cables?
OM4 multimode fiber supports 100G transmission up to 150 meters and provides higher bandwidth (4700 MHz·km), ensuring reliable performance for high-speed, short-reach applications.
Q4: What advantages does the mini 3.0mm cable design provide?
The reduced diameter allows easier routing, better airflow, and space optimization in high-density patch panels and cable management systems.
Q5: How are MPO patch cables tested before shipment?
All MPO cables are factory tested for insertion loss, return loss, and polarity to guarantee compliance with IEC and Telcordia standards.
Q6: Can the MPO patch cable be customized?
Yes. Fiber count (12/24), cable length, polarity type (A/B/C), jacket material, and connector housing color can all be customized according to project needs.
Q7: Is the cable suitable for indoor or outdoor use?
The standard 3.0mm version is for indoor high-density cabling. Outdoor or armored versions can be provided if required.
Q8: What is the typical delivery time?
Standard MPO patch cables are usually in stock, while customized assemblies typically require 5–10 working days.
