Product Description

1. Product Description

This 72F MPO trunk cable is a high-density fiber assembly equipped with 6 MPO connectors on each end. It uses a ruggedized multi-unit micro fiber structure for reliable protection during installation. The assembly consists of 6 subunit cables with a 3.0 mm outer diameter, with each subunit containing 12 color-coded bare fibers.

This cable supports 10/40/100 Gbps data center transmission solutions. It is commonly used for interconnection between cassettes, panels, or ruggedized MPO fan-outs, enabling rapid deployment of high-density backbone cabling in data centers and high-fiber-count environments.
