MTP Fiber Patch cable/trunk cable is terminated with MTP connector on both ends. MTP Patch cable/trunk cables connect MTP modules together as a permanent link. The Patch cable/trunk cables are available with 12, 24, 48,60,72 ,96,144fibers. Support speeds up to 10/40/100Gbps data center solutions. They are typically adopted to interconnect cassettes, panels or ruggedized MTP fan-outs, and to facilitate rapid deployment of high-density backbone cabling in data centers and other high fiber environments. Besides, MTP also provides much flexibility and convenience once you have to change the connector style in the patch panels. Instead of changing the connector on the cable trunk, just installing a new cassette with the new connector style on the cross-connect side of the patch panel.
Features:
- Low insertion loss, high return loss

Application
All of OMC’s MTP Connectors are from USCONEC. MTP Patch cable/trunk cable is a kind of high density cable assemblies which is generally use in three areas.
1, The Data Center application with high dense degree environment
2, The optical fiber to the building
3, The internal connector application in fiber equipment.
