Product Overview

A harness takes the parallel MPO trunk and fans it out to the duplex connectors your transceivers actually have. One MTP at the panel end, a furcated set of LC, SC or FC legs at the equipment end — the standard way to serve duplex 10G/25G/100G optics from a parallel backbone.

Assemblies are built on US Conec MTP® ferrules and terminated in a controlled environment, then measured fibre by fibre. Interferometry checks the three geometry parameters that decide whether a multi-fibre ferrule mates properly — radius of curvature, apex offset and fibre height — and every end face is inspected and graded to IEC 61300-3-35 before the dust cap goes on.

Fibre count, fibre type, polish, polarity, gender, jacket rating, leg length and overall length are all build options rather than catalogue limits. Use the selector above to configure the exact assembly and the specification table will follow your choices; the measured test report ships with the cable.

Quality & What's in the Box

Measured Fibre by Fibre

Insertion loss and return loss recorded for every fibre, not sampled.

Geometry Verified

Interferometer data on ferrule radius, apex offset and fibre height.

Inspected & Graded

Every end face checked against IEC 61300-3-35 before packing.

Packaging

Dust-capped, coiled on a reel or in a bag with the test report and pulling sock.

Typical Applications

Data Centre Spine & Leaf

Parallel 40G/100G/400G/800G backbone between spine, leaf and top-of-rack panels.

AI / GPU Clusters

Rail-optimised accelerator fabrics where one switch port breaks out to several GPUs.

Structured Cabling

Pre-terminated backbone that installs in hours instead of days, with the loss budget known up front.

Test & Commissioning

Loopbacks, attenuators and inspection for proving ports before the link goes live.

Frequently Asked Questions

Harness or cassette — which should I use?

A harness is cheaper and has one less mated pair in the channel, so it costs you less loss. A cassette is tidier, lets you re-patch the LC side without touching the trunk, and keeps the MPO hidden away from day-to-day handling. Harness for fixed equipment feeds; cassette where the front side changes often.

Does the leg numbering follow the MPO position numbering?

Yes — leg 1 carries MPO positions 1 and 12 under Type B mapping, and every leg is printed with its number and the MPO positions it carries. Say so on the RFQ if you need a different mapping; we build to it and label accordingly.

Can I get LC uniboot legs?

Yes, and in a dense panel they are worth the small premium: one round cable per duplex leg instead of two zipcord halves, roughly half the volume in the manager, and switchable polarity at the connector. See our uniboot and VSFF connector guide.

How is the assembly labelled?

Both ends carry a printed label with the part number, fibre count, fibre type, polarity type and the serial number, and breakout legs are individually numbered. Tell us your own labelling convention on the RFQ and we print to it — it costs nothing and it saves an afternoon at installation.

Can I get free samples before ordering volume?

Yes. We supply qualification samples so you can measure the loss and check the fit in your own panels before committing. Per-order test reports are standard, and sample reports can be provided in advance for tender documentation.
