BlueOptics Cisco CB-M12-M12-SMF20M MPO to MPO Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable, 20m, G.657.A1, APC, 12-Fiber, Yellow

The BlueOptics Cisco CB-M12-M12-SMF20M is a high-performance MPO to MPO single-mode fiber patch cable designed for demanding data center and telecommunications environments. With a length of 20 meters and 12-fiber configuration, this trunk cable ensures reliable, high-speed connectivity for your network infrastructure. Manufactured to ITU-T G.657.A1 bend-insensitive standards, it offers superior flexibility and durability, making it ideal for high-density cabling applications.

Advantages

This cable provides exceptional signal integrity with low insertion loss (≤0.35 dB) and high return loss (≥60 dB), ensuring minimal signal degradation. The APC polish reduces back reflection, enhancing performance in high-speed networks. Its bend-insensitive design allows for tighter bends without compromising signal quality, simplifying installation in confined spaces. Compatible with Cisco systems, it guarantees seamless integration into existing networks.
