Home Fiber Optic Cables StarTech.com 3m MTP/MPO OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable

StarTech.com 3m MTP/MPO OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable

Brand:
StarTech.com

StarTech.com MPO12PL3M is a 3 m MTP/MPO multimode fiber cable built with 12-fiber OM3 50/125µm construction for high-density 10/40GbE and Fibre Channel connectivity. Its MTP(F)/PC connectors, Type-A straight-through pinout, OFNP plenum rating, low insertion loss and push-pull tabs make it suited to data centers, SANs, servers, switches and QSFP+ infrastructure. Each cable is individually tested for insertion and return loss. S

OVERVIEW

  • The MPO12PL3M is a 3 m, 12-fiber OM3 multimode MTP/MPO jumper designed for high-density data-center, SAN, server and network interconnects. Its Type-A straight-through configuration and MTP(F)/PC connectors support compatible 40Gbps MPO/MTP links while the plenum rating supports suitable in-building pathways. Compatibility: OM3 MTP/MPO infrastructure and compatible 40G equipment. Model comparison: Compared with longer MPO12PL5M/10M variants, the 3 m MPO12PL3M is intended for shorter rack and cross-connect runs. 

USE CASES

  • 40GbE switch-to-switch links: Provides a 12-fiber MPO/MTP connection for compatible 40Gbps network equipment, reducing the need for multiple individual fiber jumpers. 
  • Server-to-switch connectivity: Supports high-density connections between compatible servers and network switches using MPO/MTP interfaces.
  • SAN infrastructure: Provides compact multimode fiber connectivity for compatible Fibre Channel and storage-network environments.
  • QSFP+ deployments: Provides a suitable fiber interface for compatible QSFP+ high-density optical connections.
  • Data-center patching: The 3 m length is practical for rack-level and adjacent-rack connectivity where excessive cable length would add routing bulk.
  • MPO/MTP patch panels: Connects compatible multi-fiber patching hardware while maintaining a consolidated 12-fiber link.
  • Network cassette installations: Can support architectures where a 40Gbps MPO/MTP connection is broken out into multiple duplex LC connections through compatible cassettes. 
  • Fiber distribution infrastructure: Provides a compact high-density jumper between compatible distribution, switching and aggregation equipment.
  • Plenum pathway installations: The OFNP rating makes the cable suitable for applications requiring plenum-rated fiber cabling, subject to local code and installation requirements. 

KEY FEATURES

  • 12-fiber OM3 construction: Consolidates twelve multimode fibers into one cable, helping reduce cable count and simplify high-density rack connectivity. 
  • 40Gbps network support: Supports compatible 40Gbps applications such as 40GBASE-SR4, giving data-center buyers a cable designed for high-speed parallel-optics deployments.
  • MTP(F)/PC connectors: Provides a high-density multi-fiber interface for compatible MPO/MTP ports and optical infrastructure.
  • Type-A straight-through pinout: Maintains a straight-through fiber arrangement, making polarity planning important when integrating it into the wider optical link.
  • OM3 50/125µm multimode fiber: Provides a laser-optimized multimode medium designed for high-speed short-reach data-center connectivity.
  • 2000 MHz·km modal bandwidth at 850nm: Provides the specified OM3 bandwidth characteristic for compatible high-speed optical deployments. 
  • OFNP plenum rating: Supports installations requiring plenum-rated fiber cabling and helps address applicable building-pathway requirements.
  • Low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket material: Helps reduce smoke and halogen concerns associated with suitable installation environments. 
  • Push-pull tabs: Allows easier connector insertion and removal in dense rack environments without requiring additional tools. 
  • Low insertion loss: StarTech specifies insertion loss below 0.5dB, helping preserve optical link performance within the cable's specified application. 
  • Individually tested: Each cable is tested for insertion loss and return loss, with a test report supplied with the cable. 
  • EMI immunity: The optical fiber medium is immune to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable around electrically noisy infrastructure.
  • 3 m length: Provides a practical 9.8 ft link length for rack-level deployments without the excess slack associated with unnecessarily long cables.
  • Lifetime warranty: Provides long-term product support for infrastructure deployments.
