MTP-12 to MTP-12 APC Trunk Cable, Male, 48 Fibers, OS2, Type B
This 48 Fibers (Base-12) MTP® Elite Male trunk assembly is built for backbone cabling between racks, rows and distribution frames. OS2 9/125μm fiber, Plenum (OFNP) jacket and factory installed pulling protection make it a one-pull replacement for hours of field termination work.
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
Backbone cabling is where mistakes cost the most, so this trunk is built and verified entirely in the factory. The 48 Fibers (Base-12) construction concentrates the equivalent of many duplex jumpers into a single assembly, which is exactly what high density spine and leaf cabling needs. It arrives with test results, labeled legs and the correct polarity for your panel layout.
Trunk Construction and Polarity
The trunk uses a double jacket design: a rugged outer sheath protects the whole bundle, while each breakout leg keeps its own jacket and numbering. Base-8 and Base-12 constructions are available depending on the fiber count. Polarity follows the Type shown in the table, and pulling eyes or mesh grips can be fitted for installation.
Ordering Information
Please reference 48FMTPSMF 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.
How We Pack
Products are packed in anti-static or PE bags with connector dust caps fitted, then boxed in sturdy export cartons. Custom labels, barcodes and carton markings are available on request.
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.
Built to Your Spec
As a factory we can modify almost every detail of this product: length, jacket material and color, polarity, gender, breakout geometry, labeling and packaging. Non-standard variants are routine work for us, not a special project.
