Black Box FOTC30M3MP12AQ-50R2 50M MTP OM3 Fiber Optic Trunk Cable Plenum 12-STRAND Type C
Overview
The Black Box FOTC30M3MP12AQ-50R2 is a 50-meter MTP (Multi-fiber Termination Push-on) OM3 fiber optic trunk cable. It features 12 strands of 50/125µm multimode fiber, terminated with Type C (angled) MTP connectors on both ends. The plenum-rated jacket makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, fulfilling critical fire safety codes in commercial buildings and data centers. This cable is engineered for high-density interconnects, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, making it ideal for backbone connections between switches, servers, and storage arrays.
Compatibility
This MTP OM3 trunk cable is compatible with any network equipment utilizing MTP/MPO interfaces for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications. It is designed to interconnect MTP/MPO patch panels, switches, and server rack equipment. Specific compatibility includes, but is not limited to, high-density switch uplinks from vendors such as Cisco Nexus, Arista, Juniper QFX series, and Mellanox, as well as any server or storage system employing MTP/MPO fiber connectivity.
Installation Notes
When installing the FOTC30M3MP12AQ-50R2, maintain a minimum bend radius of 1 inch (25mm) to prevent fiber damage and signal loss. Avoid sharp kinks or excessive tension on the cable. The plenum jacket requires careful handling during pulling to prevent abrasion. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent performance degradation. The Type C (angled) MTP connectors are designed for specific polarity configurations; verify that the connected equipment or patch panel uses the corresponding polarity (e.g., Type A to Type B or Type C to Type C, depending on the system design).
