Siemon 12-fibre MTP 2 mm fibre jumpers

Siemon has added to its LightHouse range of fibre cabling solutions with the release of 12-fibre MTP fibre jumpers, which feature a smaller 2 mm diameter for improved pathway fill, airflow and accessibility in high-density fibre patching areas.

Suitable for connecting MPO/MTP backbone trunk cabling to active equipment in 40/100 gigabit fibre applications, the jumpers feature the compact design of the MTP connector footprint and Siemon’s smaller 2 mm RazorCore cable. The jumpers are available in both B (straight-through wiring) and C polarity for flexible deployment with a variety of MTP backbone trunks and configurations while ensuring proper polarity throughout the channel.

The MTP 2 mm jumpers come with either male or female connectivity to support easy migration from 10-gigabit cassette-based MPO/MTP channels that use female-to-female trunk assemblies to 40/100 gigabit applications that typically deploy male-to-male trunk assemblies. The jumpers are available in OM3 and OM4 multimode fibre types and plenum, riser and low-smoke, zero halogen (LSOH). The low-loss version has a loss of just 0.2 dB for good performance and improved flexibility in 40/100 gigabit fibre applications.
