MTP Elite Female-Female Patch Cord | Base-12 | Single Mode G657.A2

This MTP® Elite Singlemode Patch Cord is built with Base-12 female connectors on both ends and contains 12 bend-insensitive OS2 fibers (G657.A2), each with a 9μm core and 125μm cladding. Housed in a durable 3.0mm jacket, it's optimized for high-density, high-speed optical networks where space and performance are critical.

The Elite MTP® connector is a precision-engineered upgrade to the MPO standard, delivering tighter tolerances and reduced insertion loss. Each female connector includes alignment slots (no pins) and is intended to mate with a male MTP connector that has guide pins.
