MTP Jumper Cables Overview

The MTP Jumper Cables category contains five female-to-female MTP® Elite trunk cables for high-density fiber connections within data center cabinets. The series includes one OS2 single-mode cable and four OM3 or OM4 multimode cables, with MTP®-12 and MTP®-16 connector configurations. All models use Type B polarity, 12-fiber construction, and OFNP plenum-rated jackets. Connector finishes include APC for the OS2 and selected OM4 models and UPC for the OM3 and OM4 MTP®-12 models. Available lengths range from 1m to 100m, depending on the cable, supporting trunk-cable patching and migration to higher data rates.

S2-12FB-MTPA-MTPA is a 12-fiber OS2 single-mode Elite trunk cable with female MTP®-12 APC connectors at both ends. It uses Type B polarity, a yellow OFNP plenum-rated jacket, and is available in lengths from 1m to 100m. The cable is designed for high-density fiber patching within data center cabinets and connections used with MTP® trunk cabling systems.

M4-12FB-MTPA-MTPA is a 12-fiber OM4 multimode Elite trunk cable featuring female MTP®-12 APC connectors, Type B polarity, and a magenta OFNP plenum-rated jacket. Length options range from 1m to 50m. It supports high-density in-cabinet fiber patching and can be used with MTP®-8 fiber systems for parallel multimode transceiver connections.

M4-12FB-MTPU-MTPU uses 12-fiber OM4 multimode cable with female MTP®-12 UPC connectors at both ends. The cable has Type B polarity, an OFNP plenum-rated jacket in magenta, and length options from 1m to 100m. It is intended for high-density data center patching with MTP® trunk cables and supports MTP®-8 parallel multimode transceiver applications.

M3-12FB-MTPU-MTPU is a 12-fiber OM3 multimode Elite trunk cable configured with female MTP®-12 UPC connectors and Type B polarity. It features an aqua OFNP plenum-rated jacket and is offered in lengths from 1m to 100m. The cable supports in-cabinet high-density fiber patching, MTP® trunk cabling systems, and MTP®-8 parallel multimode transceiver connections.

M4-16F-MTPA-MTPA is an OM4 multimode Elite trunk cable with 12 fibers and female MTP®-16 APC connectors at both ends. It uses Type B polarity and a magenta OFNP plenum-rated jacket, with available lengths from 1m to 100m. This configuration is designed for high-density fiber patching within data center cabinets and integration with MTP® trunk cabling.

What are the main fiber and connector differences among the five MTP Jumpers Cables models?

The models differ by fiber type, connector format, and polish. S2-12FB-MTPA-MTPA uses OS2 and MTP-12 APC; M4-12FB-MTPA-MTPA uses OM4 and MTP-12 APC; M4-12FB-MTPU-MTPU uses OM4 and MTP-12 UPC; M3-12FB-MTPU-MTPU uses OM3 and MTP-12 UPC; M4-16F-MTPA-MTPA uses OM4 and MTP-16 APC.

Which MTP Jumpers Cables models reach 100m, and which model has a maximum available length of 50m?

Four models are available from 1m to 100m: S2-12FB-MTPA-MTPA, M4-12FB-MTPU-MTPU, M3-12FB-MTPU-MTPU, and M4-16F-MTPA-MTPA. M4-12FB-MTPA-MTPA is available from 1m to 50m.

Do the female connectors used on the five MTP Jumpers Cables models include alignment guide pins?

No. Female MTP/MPO connectors are unpinned. Each cable end must mate with a compatible pinned MTP interface, with the connector format, polish, polarity, and fiber arrangement matched to the link design.

Can the APC-ended and UPC-ended models in the MTP Jumpers Cables category be interconnected directly?

No. APC and UPC end faces must not be mated because their different geometries can cause high optical loss, strong reflections, and end-face damage. APC cables must connect to APC interfaces, while UPC cables must connect to UPC interfaces.

How does Type B polarity map the fibers in the MTP Jumpers Cables category?

Type B reverses the fiber positions from one end to the other. On an MTP-12 connection, Position 1 maps to Position 12, Position 2 maps to Position 11, and the remaining positions follow the same reversed sequence.

How do M4-12FB-MTPA-MTPA, M4-12FB-MTPU-MTPU, and M3-12FB-MTPU-MTPU operate in compatible 8-fiber parallel-optics links?

They use eight active fibers—four for transmission and four for reception. In a conventional 8-fiber application over an MTP-12 interface, the four center fiber positions remain inactive unless conversion components are used to remap the available fibers.

Can M4-16F-MTPA-MTPA be connected through standard MTP-12 adapters or MTP-12 equipment interfaces?

No. M4-16F-MTPA-MTPA uses the MTP-16 connector format, which has dedicated keying designed to prevent mating with traditional MTP-12 hardware. It requires compatible MTP-16 APC interfaces and adapters.

Are all five MTP Jumpers Cables models supplied with OFNP jackets for indoor plenum cabling routes?

Yes. All five models use OFNP plenum-rated jackets and are intended for high-density indoor fiber routing within data center cabinets and other pathways where OFNP-rated cabling is specified.
