MTP Trunk Cable

Explore Fibermart to Buy MTP Trunk Cable in 8~576 fibers at Custom Lengths for High-density Optical Network

MTP connector from US Conec, it is a high-density MPO fiber connector with 12F, 24F, 32F fiber core inside. The MTP trunk cable are designed with MTP connectors (female/male) Pinned and Un-Pinned on both ends, serve as permanent fiber links between panels in a structured environment. Typically, MTP Jumper Cable and MTP LC cable are used as backbone or horizontal cable interconnections. Featured with efficient plug-and-play design, MTP trunk cable and MTP patch cable helps reduce the installation and maintenance costs. Fiber Trunk Cable, including MTP trunk cable can decrease the cable volume and improve the data center bandwidth. These features make MTP® trunks an ideal choice for high-density cabling in data centers, widely used in main, horizontal, and zone distribution areas.

Introduction

Fibermart MTP Trunk Cable is the definitive high-density backbone solution for modern data centers and optical networks. Engineered with MTP connectors - from US Conec., on both ends, this factory-pre-terminated cable provides a reliable, plug-and-play permanent link between panels and enclosures in structured environments. Supporting fiber counts from 8 to 576 and available in single-mode and high-performance OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode variants, it dramatically simplifies deployment, reduces cable volume for better data transmission, and lowers overall installation and maintenance costs. As the essential artery for 10G, 40G, and 100G applications, it enables scalable and efficient network infrastructure.

Features

Principles

An MTP Trunk Cable operates as a multi-fiber, point-to-point optical highway, enabling parallel optics by transporting multiple independent light signals simultaneously through a single cable. Its functionality is anchored in the precision alignment of fibers within the MTP ferrule and the precise management of signal polarity to ensure correct end-to-end channel alignment in duplex systems.

Three standardized polarity methods define how fibers are mapped from one connector to the other. Method A (Straight-Through) maintains identical fiber positions at both ends, requiring a polarity reversal elsewhere in the link. Method B (Reversed) flips the fiber order (e.g., Position 1 to 12), making it ideal for direct equipment connections. Method C (Pair Flipped) swaps positions within each pair (1 to 2, 2 to 1), building the pair flip into the cable itself. The factory pre-termination ensures each fiber is polished to exact specifications, guaranteeing consistent low-loss performance and eliminating the variability of field splicing.

Applications

● Data Center Structured Backbone Cabling: Serving as the primary trunk connecting Main Distribution Area (MDA) to Intermediate Distribution Area (IDA) or Equipment Distribution Area (EDA) frames.

● High-Speed Equipment Interconnection: Directly linking 40G/100G/400G switches, routers, and optical transceivers that needs MTP/MPO interfaces.

● Data Center Upgrades and Migration: Upgrades from 10G to 40G/100G infrastructure by leveraging existing cable pathways with high-fiber-count trunks.

● High-Density Fiber-to-the-Rack: Deploying in top-of-rack (ToR) and end-of-row (EoR) to provide abundant fiber capacity to server cabinets with minimal cable clutter.

● Telecommunications Central Offices and MDAs: Creating efficient, high-capacity inter-rack connections where space optimization and rapid deployment are critical.
