Why choose it

The MPO-PLUS connector ensures precise alignment and low insertion loss, supporting high-speed data rates up to 100 Gbps for 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 applications. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed data center spaces.

Ideal use cases

• High-density data center interconnects
• Parallel optics for 40G and 100G Ethernet
• Storage area network (SAN) backbone links
• Telecom central office cross-connects

Good to know

The Type B polarity crosses the fiber positions between ends, enabling direct connection between two transceivers without additional polarity management. The aqua jacket is standard for OM3 multimode fiber, allowing quick identification in dense cabling racks.
