Product Profile

 

  • The 16F AR-Coated MPO MTP Trunk Cable is developed for high-density parallel optical testing and master reference applications. Its 16-fiber configuration supports multi-channel connectivity for next-generation optical module validation, production testing, and master reference links. The non-contact mating structure reduces direct fiber-to-fiber contact and end-face wear during repeated mating, helping protect valuable optical modules and other devices under test while extending the service life of the reference cable.

 

  • The end-face structure features a recessed 16-fiber array positioned slightly below the ferrule surface. During mating, the guide pins align the two MPO/MTP® ferrules while the opposing fiber tips remain separated by a controlled air gap. The AR coating applied to the recessed fiber end-faces helps reduce reflection at the fiber-air interfaces, allowing the non-contact structure to combine reduced mechanical wear with more consistent optical performance.

  • Fully interoperable with standard 16F MPO/MTP® adapters, transceivers, and test equipment, the cable can be integrated into existing test platforms without hardware modification. Typical applications include 800G and 1.6T optical module validation, master reference connections, production test systems, optical system calibration, and high-density test-link optimization. MNC-MNC double-coated and MNC-MPO single-coated configurations are available to accommodate different reference interfaces and test architectures.

Product Features
8F MTP MPO To FC Fan-out Cable OS2 UPC

Modified Non-Contact End-Face Design

The recessed 16-fiber array maintains a controlled air gap between the mating fiber end-faces. This non-contact structure reduces direct fiber contact, helping minimize scratches and wear during repeated mating.

12F AR Coated MPO MTP Trunk Cable

AR-Coated Optical Interface

The anti-reflective coating reduces reflection at the fiber-air interfaces and limits Fabry–Perot interference, helping maintain consistent insertion loss and repeatable optical performance across the 16 channels.

12F AR Coated MPO MTP Trunk Cable

Precision MPO/MTP® Connector

The connector is designed for compatibility with standard 16F MPO/MTP® adapters, optical modules, and test equipment. Male, female, APC, UPC, and different polarity configurations are available to support various test-system requirements.

 

12F AR Coated MPO MTP Trunk Cable

Durable Outer Jacket

Available with LSZH, OFNR, or OFNP cable jackets, the assembly provides reliable mechanical protection, flexibility, and flame-retardant performance for laboratory and production test environments.

 

 

Optical Test Link

 

Beyond serving as a high-frequency master reference jumper, the MNC™ can also be used to optimize the optical test link. In a test system, the optical signal passes through multiple connections - "test equipment - reference jumper - MPO/MTP cable product under test (DUT)".

Reflection, end-face contamination, or insertion-loss fluctuation at any connection interface introduces measurement error and degrades link consistency and repeatability. With its non-contact, AR-coated end-face structure, the MNC™ effectively suppresses back-reflection at each interface, eliminates insertion-loss drift caused by repeated mating, and avoids damage to the DUT end-face, thereby building a cleaner, more stable and repeatable test link, as shown below.

MNC™ test-link topology

In actual high-speed optical module testing from 100G to 1.6T, the MNC™ Master Reference Cable connects the test equipment to the module under test (DUT). A typical test topology includes both transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) paths, as shown below.

FAQ

 

How Do I Select the Right 12F AR Coated MPO MTP Trunk Cable Configuration?
Select MNC-MNC when both ends require AR-coated non-contact interfaces for a fully non-contact reference connection. Select MNC-MPO when the MNC end needs to mate with a standard 16F MPO/MTP® interface on test equipment or a device under test.
Why Do I Need to Provide DUT Interface Details Before Ordering?
For optical test-link optimization, the fiber core recess should be matched to the connector brand, fiber height, end-face geometry, and mating configuration of the device under test. Providing these details allows the 16-fiber interface and air gap to be evaluated for more consistent insertion loss and repeatable testing.
Can The Cable Configuration Be Customized?
Yes. Available options include single-mode or multimode fiber, APC or UPC end faces, male or female connectors, Type A, Type B, or Type C polarity, cable length, connector brand, and LSZH, OFNR, or OFNP outer jackets. MNC-MNC and MNC-MPO configurations are also available.
What Problem Does AR Coating Solve in Repeated 16F MPO/MTP® Testing?
The recessed fiber structure avoids direct contact between the mating fiber tips, but the resulting air gap introduces fiber-to-air interfaces that can generate optical reflection. The AR coating helps reduce this reflection and limit Fabry–Perot interference, supporting more consistent insertion loss and repeatable performance across the 16-fiber array.
