Black Box FOTC20M3MP12AQ-10R2 10M MTP OM3 Fiber Optic Trunk Cable Plenum 12-STRAND Type A
Overview
The Black Box FOTC20M3MP12AQ-10R2 is a 10-meter, 12-strand, OM3 multimode fiber optic trunk cable. It terminates with an MTP (MPO) connector on one end, designed for high-density data center and enterprise backbone applications. The plenum-rated jacket makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, meeting stringent fire safety codes. This cable is engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet (40/100GbE) applications, providing the necessary bandwidth for high-performance networking infrastructure.
Compatibility
This OM3 MTP trunk cable is compatible with any network equipment utilizing MTP/MPO interfaces for fiber connectivity. This includes high-density switches, transceivers (like QSFP+ and QSFP28), and patch panels designed for OM3 multimode fiber. It is suitable for connecting servers to top-of-rack switches, switch-to-switch uplinks, and backbone connections within data centers. The Type A polarity ensures correct channel mapping for standard 40GbE and 100GbE configurations when paired with compatible equipment.
Installation Notes
The minimum bend radius for this cable is 30mm (1.2 inches) when un-stressed and 60mm (2.4 inches) when stressed. Avoid sharp bends or kinks during installation to maintain signal integrity and prevent fiber damage. The plenum jacket requires careful handling to avoid damage during pulling and termination. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal loss or damage.
