144F（18x8F） MPO-MPO SM Trunk cable
The 144-core MPO trunk cable is a super high-density pre-terminated backbone cabling product, adopting integrated multi-group MPO modular design to maximize fiber capacity in a single cable. It uses top-grade OS2/OM series fibers and flame-retardant, tensile outer jackets, with superior optical performance and mechanical stability. Precision end-face polishing ensures minimal signal attenuation during high-speed transmission. Designed for large-scale network convergence scenarios, it is widely used in hyperscale data center backbone cabling, telecom core machine room interconnection and large campus network aggregation layers, realizing large-bandwidth, space-saving and efficient network deployment.

Pre-terminated MPO Technology-Polarity （12C MT Ferrule）
Polarity defines the directional correspondence between the transmit (Tx) port and receive (Rx) port of optical fiber links. It standardizes the signal transmission direction of fiber connections and guarantees accurate and effective end-to-end signal interconnection in optical cabling systems.

Custom Pulling Eye.
The pulling eye safeguards MPO trunk connectors throughout cable laying and dismantling processes, especially in confined or inaccessible installation areas, by completely shielding the fiber breakout section and diverting tensile stress from the cable assembly to the protective sleeve.
