Black Box FOTC20M3MP24AQ-20R2 20M MTP OM3 Fiber Optic Trunk Cable Plenum 24-STRAND Type A
Overview
The Black Box FOTC20M3MP24AQ-20R2 is a 20-meter MTP (MPO) OM3 fiber optic trunk cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise backbone applications. Its plenum-rated jacket ensures compliance with building codes for in-wall and ceiling installations, making it suitable for connecting network switches, servers, and storage devices where fire safety is paramount. This cable utilizes Type A polarity, which is standard for direct connections between transceivers of the same type.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with network equipment featuring MTP/MPO connectors, including high-speed switches, routers, and servers. It is compatible with OM3 fiber infrastructure, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters. Ensure your network equipment's MTP ports are configured for Type A polarity for a direct, plug-and-play connection.
Installation Notes
Handle with care to avoid kinking the fiber. The minimum bend radius for OM3 fiber is 7.5 cm (3 inches). Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. The plenum jacket requires specific installation practices to maintain fire safety ratings.
