DESCRIPTION
The HOLIGHT MTP-16 Fiber Optic Jumper is designed for ultra-high-density data centers and next-generation 400G/800G optical interconnects.
It adopts the precision US Conec MTP-16 connector, providing exceptional optical performance and mechanical reliability.Available in both single mode (OS2) and multimode (OM4) versions, this jumper ensures seamless migration to higher bandwidth systems while maintaining minimal insertion loss and maximum flexibility.
With its plenum-rated jacket, bend-insensitive glass, and crossover polarity, the MTP-16 jumper offers a compact, safe, and efficient cabling solution for modern high-performance networks.
Standard configurations include 16 or 32 fibers with OS2 or OM4, and male or female connector options; other configurations are available upon request.
Feature Details
- Ultra-Low Insertion Loss
Each jumper is terminated with precision US Conec MTP-16 connectors, ensuring stable optical performance below 0.35 dB — ideal for 400G/800G transmission. - Bend-Insensitive and Space-Saving
Utilizes advanced bend-insensitive fiber (BIF) for minimal signal degradation in tight routing paths, improving cable management efficiency. - Dual Fiber Options (OS2 & OM4)
Choose between single-mode OS2 for long-distance and multimode OM4 for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections. - Fire-Rated Plenum Jacket (OFNP)
Complies with building safety standards for installation in air plenums, reducing risk in enclosed data center environments. - Crossover Polarity Design
Factory-configured crossover polarity simplifies patching alignment between transceivers, cassettes, and panels. - Ready-to-Use, Fully Tested
Every assembly is 100% factory-tested for insertion and return loss, ensuring consistent performance right out of the box. - Flexible Connector Options
Available in both male and female configurations, supporting any standard MTP cabling topology and gender requirement.

FAQ
- What is the difference between MTP-16 and traditional MTP-12 jumpers?
MTP-16 provides 33% higher fiber density, supporting 16-fiber parallel transmission for 400G/800G optics, while MTP-12 supports 12-fiber links up to 100G/200G. - What fiber types are available for this jumper?
It’s available in OM4 multimode for short-reach high-speed links and OS2 single-mode for long-distance transmission. - What connector genders can be ordered?
Both Female (pinless) and Male (pinned) versions are available, depending on the transceiver and panel configuration. - Is polarity configurable?
Yes. Default polarity is Crossover (Type B), but other types can be customized for different system topologies. - What is the typical insertion and return loss?
Typical IL ≤ 0.15 dB, Max ≤ 0.35 dB; RL ≥ 60 dB for APC and ≥ 27 dB for UPC. - What jacket materials are available?
Standard jacket is Plenum (OFNP); other ratings like LSZH or OFNR can be customized. - Are custom lengths and colors supported?
Yes. Length, jacket color (Magenta, Yellow, Aqua, etc.), and labeling can be customized per project requirement. - Is OEM/ODM branding possible?
HOLIGHT offers OEM/ODM manufacturing, including logo printing, packaging, and polarity configuration services.
