48F（4x12F） MPO-MPO OM3 Trunk cable
The 48-core MPO trunk cable is a compact high-density pre-terminated cabling solution, assembled with four standard 12-fiber MPO connectors at both ends. It adopts bend-insensitive OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode or OS2 single-mode fibers with LSZH flame-retardant jackets, featuring low insertion loss and excellent signal stability. With standardized high-precision ferrule alignment, it ensures long-term reliable connection. Optimized for medium-density network scenarios, it supports 40G/100G high-speed transmission. Widely used for data center cabinet interconnection, enterprise backbone links and small-scale computer room capacity expansion, enabling fast deployment and neat cable management.

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.
