| Parameter | MTP/MPO Trunk (Backbone) | Indoor Ribbon (Backbone) | MPO Cassette (Patch Panel) | MTP Harness (Breakout) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber Count Range | 12 – 144 cores | 12 – 864 cores | 24 – 144 cores / cassette | 8 cores (Base-8) / 16 cores (Base-16) |
| Connector | MTP-12 / MTP-24 Female or Male | Pre-terminated MPO-12 (mass-fusion splice optional) | MTP-12 + LC/SC (modular cassette) | MTP-8/16 + 4x or 8x LC Duplex |
| Polarity | Type A / Type B / Type C | Type B (typical) | Type A / Type B / Type C | Type B / Crossover |
| Fiber Mode | OS2 / OM3 / OM4 / OM5 | OS2 (G.652.D / G.657.A1) | OS2 / OM3 / OM4 | OS2 / OM4 |
| Jacket | LSZH OFNR (color-coded by mode) | LSZH OFNR yellow | LSZH (cassette housing) | LSZH yellow (OS2) / violet (OM4) |
| Insertion Loss (typical) | ≤ 0.35 dB | ≤ 0.35 dB | MTP ≤ 0.35 dB; LC ≤ 0.20 dB | MTP ≤ 0.35 dB; LC ≤ 0.20 dB |
| Return Loss | ≥ 60 dB (APC) / ≥ 50 dB (UPC) / ≥ 30 dB (MM) | ≥ 60 dB (APC) | ≥ 60 dB (APC) / ≥ 50 dB (UPC) / ≥ 30 dB (MM) | ≥ 60 dB (APC) / ≥ 50 dB (UPC) / ≥ 30 dB (MM) |
| Standard Reach | Up to 500 m (trunk); SR4/SR4.2 up to 150 m OM4 | Up to 800 m (backbone in ODF) | Cassette-level (≤ 5 m patch) | Patch-level (≤ 10 m fan-out) |
| Application | MDA backbone (ODF to cassette) | Equipment room ODF distribution | 1U/2U/4U patch panel breakout | Switch port fan-out from cassette |
* Technical Note: The choice between MTP Trunk and Indoor Ribbon Cable depends on the deployment scenario. MTP/MPO Trunk is preferred for direct plug-in between cassettes at both ends (12-144 cores); Indoor Ribbon Cable is preferred for high-density ODF backbone with mass-fusion splicing (12-864 cores). MPO Cassette Patch Panel capacity scales from 24 cores (1U single cassette) to 144 cores (2U multi-cassette) to 288+ cores (4U chassis). MTP Harness provides the final fan-out from MPO cassette to LC/SC switch ports with Type B or Crossover polarity. Custom lengths, custom connector combinations (LC/SC/FC/ST, APC/UPC) and custom fiber modes are available on request.
FAQ Of Data Center Fiber Optic Solutions
What is the price of data center fiber optic cable and MTP/MPO products?
The price varies by fiber mode (OS2 singlemode / OM3-OM5 multimode), core count, connector type (LC / SC / MTP/MPO / MDC), length, and quantity. Contact our sales team with your specification and we will give you the best factory-direct price.
What is the difference between OM3, OM4 and OM5 multimode fiber for data centers?
OM3 (Aqua jacket) supports 10G up to 300 m and 40G/100G SR4 up to 100 m. OM4 (Violet jacket) supports 10G up to 400 m and 40G/100G SR4 up to 150 m, with extra modal bandwidth headroom. OM5 (Lime green jacket) wideband fiber additionally supports SWDM4 (4 wavelengths x 25G) up to 440 m for 100G and 400G SR4.2 deployments using a single MPO-12.
What is the difference between MTP Base-8, Base-12 and Base-16 harness systems?
Base-8 uses 1 MTP-8 connector breaking out to 4x LC Duplex — for 40G/100G SR4 and standard data center deployments. Base-12 uses 1 MTP-12 connector breaking out to 6x LC Duplex — for 40G SR4 and standard parallel optics. Base-16 uses 1 MTP-16 connector breaking out to 8x LC Duplex — for 400G/800G PSM4/DR4 and emerging 800G deployments requiring 2x density over Base-8.
What is Type A vs Type B vs Type C polarity in MTP/MPO systems?
Type A (straight-through) maps position 1 to position 1 across the link — used for direct transceiver-to-transceiver links. Type B (crossover) maps position 1 to position 12 — used for direct MTP cassette-to-cassette connection without patch cords. Type C (pair-flipped) flips each fiber pair — used for breakout applications. ZTO Cable’s standard MTP/MPO products use Type B polarity, the most common polarity for data center deployments.
Are custom fiber counts, lengths and connector combinations available?
Yes. Custom fiber counts from 12 to 864 cores, custom lengths from 0.5 m to 500 m, and custom connector combinations (LC / SC / FC / ST / MTP / MDC, UPC / APC, simplex / duplex / multi-fiber) are available. Mixed-mode deployments (e.g., OM3 trunk to OM4 patch cord) and hybrid assemblies (LC-SC, APC-UPC) can also be quoted on request.
How long does production and delivery take for data center fiber products?
Standard products (12-core MPO patch cords, LC patch cords, MTP harnesses) ship from stock in 3-5 business days. Custom products (custom length, custom connector combinations, large fiber counts) have a production cycle of 2-3 weeks. We provide a serial number and test report (insertion loss, return loss, endface geometry per IEC 61300-3-35) with every assembly.
