Customized MTP-16 Trunk Cable, 16-256F, OS2
This 16-256 Fibers (Base-16) MTP® Elite Female/Male trunk assembly is built for backbone cabling between racks, rows and distribution frames. OS2 9/125μm fiber, Plenum (OFNP)/LSZH jacket and factory installed pulling protection make it a one-pull replacement for hours of field termination work.
Available lengths are 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft) and 30m (98ft). We can also produce any intermediate or longer length to order, with your choice of labeling and packaging.

Applications
Backbone cabling is where mistakes cost the most, so this trunk is built and verified entirely in the factory. The 16-fiber interface matches 400G SR8 optics, where all 16 fibers carry active transmit and receive lanes. 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 XXMTPSMF in your enquiry. Our sales team can also advise on polarity, gender and jacket choices if your project documentation is not final yet.
How We Pack
Each assembly is coiled, capped and sealed in an individual bag, then packed into foam lined export cartons. Test reports can be attached per unit or per batch, and carton marks follow your shipping instructions.
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
We do not ship untested product. Each unit is measured on calibrated equipment for optical performance and visually inspected for end face quality before packing. Batch traceability is maintained so any field issue can be tracked back to production.
