This multimode fibre-optic MPO/MTP trunk cable is made with Corning glass fiber and features an MPO/MTP female connector on both ends. It is designed for high-bandwidth data center applications, including connections between switches and MPO/MTP cassettes.
Each cable is individually serialized with cable labels at one ends which allows us to quickly access saved detailed interferometer test reports, but also makes tracing quick and easy during installation.
MPO/MTP Polarity: Method A vs. Method B
MPO/MTP cables can be configured in several different polarities, including Method A, Method B, and Method C.
Method A is considered straight-through, with positions 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, and so on.
Method B is considered crossover, with positions 1-12, 2-11, 3-10, and so on.
Method C is the least common and is considered paired crossover, with positions 1-2, 2-1, 3-4, 4-3, and so on.
Infinite Cables stocks Method A and Method B cables. Method C cables are available by special order. The diagrams below further illustrate Method A and Method B polarities.
