Customized MTP-16 Trunk Cable, 16-256F, OS2
High fiber count MTP® Elite Female/Male trunk cable with 16-256 Fibers (Base-16), OS2 9/125μm and Plenum (OFNP)/LSZH jacket. The double jacket construction protects the breakout legs during installation, and every leg is labeled and tested before the cable leaves our factory.
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
Ordering is simple: send us XXMTPSMF and your required lengths and quantities, and we return a factory quote the same working day. Small trial orders are welcome before you commit to a full project rollout.
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.
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.
