MPO (Multi-Fiber Push-On) jumpers are pre-terminated multi-fiber patch cords with high-density data center, enterprise network, network central offices, and speed backbone system applications that deliver plug-and-play connectivity.
Typically, MPO cables house 12, 24, or more fibers into a single connector, which means minimal space or room is needed for installation yet with aggressive rollout in modular systems like MTP cassettes, panels, and transceivers.
Looking at the indoor fiber cables catalog above (Indarmjuft Curtain, pp. 22–24), there are three core types of MPO jumpers:
Product Type | Common Name | Fiber Count | Connector Type | Structure | Fiber Type | Jacket Type | Typical Use Case |
MPO–MPO Trunk Cable | Straight MPO Jumper | 12 / 24 / 48 | MPO ⟷ MPO (Male/Female) | Round cable | G.657.A1 / OM3 / OM4 | LSZH / OFNP | Backbone cabling between panels, MTP modules |
MPO–LC Fan-out Patch Cable | MPO Fan-out Cable | 4 / 8 / 12 | MPO ⟷ 4/8/12×LC or SC | 0.9mm / 2.0mm tail | G.657.A2 / OM3 | LSZH | Split MPO trunk to equipment ports (switch, router, ODF) |
High Flexibility MPO Patch Cord | Slim MPO Jumper / Uniboot Cable | 12 / 24 / 48 | MPO ⟷ MPO | Small OD, flexible | G.657.A2 / OM4 | LSZH / OFNP | Short-run MTP patching in dense environments |
Quick Selection Tips:
✅ Choose MPO–MPO Trunk Cable if you need backbone connection between distribution panels, modules, or cassettes.
✅ Choose MPO–LC Fan-out Cable if you need to connect from MTP to multiple standard ports (LC/SC) on active devices.
✅ Choose Slim MPO Jumper if you require tight routing or patching in high-density racks or cable trays.
