Our MTP® fiber cable assemblies provide a high-density, high-performance backbone for modern data center, enterprise, and telecom environments. This category focuses on MTP-to-single-connector breakout and hybrid assemblies, engineered to seamlessly transition from trunk infrastructure to active equipment ports.
Every assembly is built using precision-polished connectors, factory-terminated fiber, and is 100% optically tested to ensure consistent performance, reliability, and easy deployment in demanding environments. Images throughout this section showcase real-world builds to help visualize available configurations.

We offer MTP to FC (Frank Charlie) and MTP to SC (Sam Charlie) configurations in a wide range of fiber counts, polarities, fiber types, and jacket options. These assemblies are ideal for patching, fan-out, cross-connects, and equipment interconnects where precision alignment and low insertion loss are critical.
Available options include single-mode (OS2) and multimode (OM3 / OM4) fiber, multiple MTP pinning and polarity schemes (A, B, C), and custom lengths to support both short run rack connections and longer structured cabling paths.
Understanding fiber cable terminology helps ensure you select the correct
fiber type,
connector style,
polish,
polarity, and
fire rating
for your installation.
| Term | Meaning | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| MPO | Multi-fiber push-on connector standard used to carry multiple fibers in one compact interface. | Widely used in high-density fiber systems, trunk cables, cassettes, and breakout assemblies. |
| MTP | A premium MPO-compatible connector design with tighter tolerances and improved performance. | Often preferred where low loss, repeatability, and high-speed fiber performance are important. |
| Singlemode | Fiber with a very small core designed for long-distance, high-bandwidth transmission. | Common for backbone, telecom, campus, and longer-reach network links. |
| OM3 / OM4 / OM5 | Multimode fiber grades used for higher-speed short-to-medium distance optical links. | Common in data centers, parallel optics, and shorter-reach transceiver applications. |
| OS2 | The most common designation for singlemode telecom-grade fiber. | If a cable is listed as singlemode, it is often OS2 unless otherwise specified. |
| APC | Angled Physical Contact polish on the fiber endface. | Helps reduce back reflection and is common in many singlemode applications. |
| UPC | Ultra Physical Contact polish with a flat or slightly domed endface. | UPC and APC are not interchangeable and must be matched correctly. |
| 12F / 24F / 48F | Fiber count inside the cable assembly, such as 12 fibers, 24 fibers, or 48 fibers. | Determines the cable capacity and what cassettes, trunks, and breakout methods it supports. |
| Method A | A common MPO polarity method where fibers align straight through from end to end. | Correct polarity is essential so transmit and receive paths land where they should. |
| Straight Through | Indicates the fibers maintain positional order from one connector end to the other. | Important for pairing trunks, cassettes, and polarity plans properly. |
| OFNR | Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser fire rating for vertical runs between floors. | Suitable for many riser applications in commercial buildings. |
| OFNP | Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum fire rating for air-handling spaces. | Required where plenum-rated cable is needed by code. |
| MP3 / MP4 | These terms do not apply to fiber optic cable or connector specifications. | The correct specs are fiber type, connector style, polish, polarity, fiber count, and fire rating. |
For fiber patch cables, terms like singlemode, OM4, OS2, OFNR, and OFNP describe the cable or jacket rating, while
MPO, MTP, APC, and UPC describe the connector format or polish type.
