StarTech MPO12PL1M 3 ft MTP(F)/PC OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable

Features:

• OM3 fiber cable: MTP/MPO plenum-rated OM3 multimode fiber cable delivers up to 40 Gbps; this 12-fiber cable supports different networking devices at varying speeds; ideal for high density connections to servers, switches, and Storage Area Networks (SANs)
• Quality construction: OFNP jacket emits low smoke and fumes if combusted; 50/125µm fiber core/cladding is immune to EMI; MTP push-pull tabs with flexible extensions facilitates convenient installation and removal
• Ratings and reliability: individually tested for signal integrity; test report included with each cable; rated for plenum and in-wall installations; 12-fiber MTP/MPO connectors with PC polished ends keep insertion loss below 0.5dB
• Compatibility: OM3 multimode cable with MTP connectors supports 40 Gbps for high-density network applications such as SANs, data servers, and QSFP+ transceivers

This MPO/MTP fiber optic cable houses 12 fibers and lets you interface between different networking devices of varying speeds. For example, you can set up a one-to-one connection between two 40Gbps switches or servers. Alternatively, you can connect a 40Gbps switch and break out the 40Gbps into six duplex 10Gbps LC connections on a patch panel or network cassette, which then fans out to individual 10Gbps devices. The MTP connector provides twelve times the density of an SC connector and saves circuit card and rack space. Plus, the push-and-pull tabs optimize accessibility by letting you install or remove the connectors with one hand without using additional tools. The MTP to MTP cable is housed in a plenum-rated jacket and is ideal for in-wall installations, or anywhere CMP fire rating is required. Each OM3 fiber cable has been individually tested for insertion loss and return loss. The full test report is included in each cable bag.
