MTP-12 APC to Unterminated Fiber Pigtail, Female, 12 Fibers, OS2
Our MTP® Elite Female ribbon pigtail is the fast way to connectorize a multi-fiber cable. 12 Fibers, OS2 9/125μm, color coded bare ribbon for easy strand identification during splicing.
Standard lengths are 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft) and 40m (131ft). Because we are the manufacturer, any other length between or beyond these steps can be produced on request, with your choice of jacket color, labeling and packaging.

Applications
Use this pigtail inside splice enclosures, ODFs and termination boxes where field cable needs factory quality connectors. A 12-fiber MPO interface carries 8 active lanes for 40G SR4 and 100G SR4 links, leaving the remaining 4 fibers dark, exactly as the MSA wiring specifies. Mass fusion splicing the ribbon completes twelve fibers in one operation.
Ribbon and Splice Details
Because the connector is polished and measured before it leaves us, the only work on site is the fusion splice itself. The pigtail fits standard splice trays and enclosures, and the ribbon format splices all fibers in a single heater cycle.
Ordering Information
Please reference 12SM-MTPA-1M-F in your enquiry. The 1m (3ft) version is the standard model; Our sales team can also advise on polarity, gender and jacket choices if your project documentation is not final yet.
Built to Your Spec
We have manufactured fiber optic assemblies since 1995. MPO and MTP cabling is one of our core lines: fiber counts from 8 to 144, single mode and multimode, UPC and APC polish, trunk, jumper, harness and breakout formats. Send your drawing and we turn it into a ready to install assembly.
Quality and Testing
Every MPO/MTP assembly leaving our factory is 100% tested for insertion loss and return loss, with end face geometry checks on the multi-fiber ferrules. Controlled polishing keeps the loss budget stable across the whole batch, which matters when several mated pairs sit in one link.
Logistics
Most orders leave our facility within a few working days. Courier, air freight and sea freight are all available, and we are happy to hand goods to your nominated forwarder in China.
