Physical Properties | |
Cable Diameter* | 3.0 mm |
Breakout Length | 0.5/0.3 m |
Minimum Bend Radius | Single‑mode: 10.0 mm Multi‑mode: 7.5 mm |
Operating Temperature | ‑10 °C to +70 °C |

* Please note that the cable diameter of standard single MTP/MPO cable is 3.0 mm, and for cables with different bundles, the diameter is different, as shown below:
Bundle Count | MTP/MPO‑12 | MTP/MPO‑24 | Trunk Diameter |
2 Bundles* | 24 Fibers | 48 Fibers | 6.0 mm |
3 Bundles | 36 Fibers | 72 Fibers | 8.0 mm |
4 Bundles | 48 Fibers | 96 Fibers | 8.0 mm |
6 Bundles | 72 Fibers | 144 Fibers | 8.0 mm |
8 Bundles | 96 Fibers | / | 10.0 mm |
12 Bundles | 144 Fibers | / | 10.0 mm |
* “Bundle” means a combination of several fibers. For example, for MTP/MPO‑12 cables, 2 bundles means 24 fibers (2x12); for MTP/MPO‑24 cables, 2 bundles means 48 fibers (2x24).
