MTP-12 APC to Unterminated Fiber Pigtail, Female, 12 Fibers, OS2
Factory terminated MTP® Elite Female pigtail with 12 Fibers on OS2 9/125μm fiber. The unjacketed ribbon end is prepared for mass fusion splicing, turning a full connector installation into a single splice operation.
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
When a multi-fiber outside plant or backbone cable must be terminated on site, this pigtail provides the connector end. 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. One mass fusion splice and the enclosure is ready for patching.
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
To order, quote 12SM-MTPA-1M-F together with the length and quantity you need. The 1m (3ft) version is the standard model; Private labeling, custom packaging and project specific documentation are all handled in-house.
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
We dispatch worldwide by international courier, with air and sea freight options for bulk orders. Goods can be sent collect on your courier account, and documentation for customs clearance is provided with every shipment.
Built to Your Spec
Our engineering team handles custom MPO/MTP assemblies daily. If the standard configuration does not match your link design, send us the requirement and we will build exactly what your network needs at factory-direct cost.
