MTP Elite Female-Female Patch Cord | Base-8 | Single Mode G657.A2

This MTP to MTP Single-Mode Patch Cord is designed for high-performance backbone and high-density environments. It features Female Base-8 MTP connectors on both ends, connected by an 8-fiber OS2 single-mode cable with 9µm core and 125µm cladding dimensions.

Engineered for compact, high-speed connections, this patch cord is equipped with Elite MTP® connectors, offering enhanced mechanical precision and superior optical performance. The MTP format is a performance-optimized evolution of the MPO standard — supporting 8, 12, or 24 fibers per connector — making it an essential space-saver in dense infrastructure builds.

Female MTP connectors come with alignment slots (no pins), designed to pair with male connectors that include guide pins.
