The 12f cable has a 3.2mm outer diameter (OD) Incredibly, the provision of a second jacket benefits the cable while the 24f version is marginally larger at 3.8mm. by an additional 500N of crush resistance to an overall total of 1000N. The cables retain their compactness with only 4.7mm These compact cables are packed with Kevlar® which OD for 12f and 5.4mm for the 24f version. These cables are provides the necessary endurance for routing and patching packed with Kevlar® which provides the necessary endurance purposes, though best used within a comms room or data for routing and patching purposes, providing links between suite environment, as opposed to backbone cabling. comms rooms or data centres. On both the MTP® Lite Trunk and MTP® Tuff Trunk Cables, only genuine MTP® Connectors are fitted. The Elite MTP ferrule is designed for applications requiring the highest performance. It provides exceptional benefits over the conventional MPO connectors, including patented floating ferrule design, patented elliptical, high precision guide pins and removable housing, allowing rapid gender change and reversing polarity. In addition, both the MTP® Lite Trunk and MTP® Tuff Trunk Cables facilitate rapid deployment of high density backbone cabling in data centres and other high fibre count environments, reducing network installation or reconfiguration time and cost. They are used to interconnect cassettes, panels or ruggedised MTP® Harness links. Key features MTP® are high density connectors with up to 24f in a traditional SC Simplex adapter footprint MTP® Trunk Assemblies present a ‘Push and Click’ to connect for rapid installation of high fibre count network links.10 For detailed specifications contained in our product data sheets, please go to the

LC HD Switchable, LC HDThe flexi-boot reduces the need for cable management as the boot is Simplex and LC Dx Availablesimply positioned as required and is retained by the integral support wire.The short boot option, at 18mm in length, provides the smallest bend radiusand is useful where the front of panel patching distance is very short.The LC HD Uni-Boot is our most compact solution providing two fibres in a singletube with the added benefit of a switchable LC pull tab enabling removal ofthe connector without disturbing neighbouring ports. The switchable functionallows for changing of polarity of the LC Connector, post manufacture.
