  • Trunk Vertical Optical Cable Cabling

    Trunk Vertical Optical Cable Cabling

    An MPO trunk cable is a high-density, pre-terminated optical assembly featuring multi-fiber MPO connectors on both ends. Internally, the trunk utilizes a microcore cable construction, housing arrays of bare fiber (usually 250 µm) within an outer jacket fortified with aramid yarn. Trunk cables are one of the essential elements in any fiber optic communication network, since they serve as a physical conduit, pipeline or circuit for an optical fiber connection. It's built to carry multiple data channels between key infrastructure points. Instead of running 12 separate cables between two cabinets, you can run one trunk cable with 12. OptoTrunk Cables optimize space, simplify system architecture, improve performance and support expansion in data center applications. As bandwidth.
