Low Loss Performance
Insertion Loss
The maximum insertion loss is a defined input for calculating the cable's contribution to the total MPO link budget.
When multiple MPO interfaces are included in the optical path, the loss of each interface contributes to the overall link loss.
Return Loss
Return loss is specified at ≥60 dB for the APC configuration.
MPO Configuration for Procurement
The MPO configuration should be verified against the mating interfaces and fiber mapping of the complete optical link before ordering.
Fiber Count
Select the fiber count according to the required optical channels and the MPO interface of the connected equipment or passive component.
Connector Gender
Confirm connector gender against the mating MPO interface before ordering, particularly when the cable connects directly to equipment or an MPO adapter.
Polarity
Confirm polarity from the fiber mapping of the complete link rather than from the cable name alone. The required mapping depends on the connected equipment and other MPO components in the optical path.
Fiber Mapping
For project-specific configurations, provide the required fiber mapping or mating equipment configuration so the connector-to-connector fiber relationship can be verified before production.
End Configuration
Specify the required A-end and B-end connector configuration when the two cable ends require different connector or interface arrangements.
Connector Polish
Confirm the APC interface against the mating connector and the required optical specification before production.
Optical Testing & Verification
Each cable is tested against the confirmed production specification before shipment.
Insertion Loss: Insertion loss is measured against the specified maximum loss requirement to verify the optical attenuation of the terminated assembly.
Test Wavelength: Optical performance is tested at the specified wavelength for the ordered single-mode configuration.
Return Loss: Return loss is tested according to the specified connector configuration.
Polarity: Fiber mapping is verified against the ordered polarity configuration to confirm the assembled fiber sequence.
Connector Inspection: MPO connector end faces are inspected for visible contamination, damage and other conditions that could affect the connector interface.
Test Method: Optical performance is tested according to the confirmed production test method for the specified MPO assembly.
Test Documentation: A serialized test report is supplied with the tested assembly, linking the delivered cable to its recorded test results.
Custom MPO Cable Configuration
The cable can be configured to match project-specific optical interfaces, fiber mapping and installation requirements.
Project Specification: For project-specific orders, buyers can provide the equipment interface, technical drawing, existing cable specification or fiber mapping as the configuration reference.
Configuration Verification: The submitted specification is checked against the required connector arrangement, fiber mapping and optical requirements before production.
Replacement Cables: For replacement orders, an existing cable sample, part number or configuration drawing can be used as the production reference when the replacement assembly must match an existing cable.
RFQ Requirements: For project-specific RFQs, provide the required cable length, fiber count, connector gender, polarity, fiber mapping and maximum insertion loss requirement where applicable.
Identification: Cable labeling, identification numbers or other project-specific marking requirements can be confirmed before production for installation and asset tracking.
FAQ
Q: What is the MOQ for Low Loss OS2 MPO Fiber Cable?
A: The standard MOQ is 500 pcs per configuration. The final quantity requirement may vary according to the confirmed fiber count, connector configuration, cable length and other project-specific specifications.
Q: What is the sample lead time for a custom OS2 MPO cable?
A: Standard sample lead time is 5–7 working days after the cable configuration and production specification are confirmed. More complex configurations or special components may require a different lead time.
Q: What is the bulk production lead time for Low Loss OS2 MPO Fiber Cable?
Standard bulk production lead time is 7–15 days after order and specification confirmation. Actual lead time depends on order quantity, configuration and component availability.
Q: How are Low Loss OS2 MPO cables packaged for shipment?
A: Each cable is supplied with connector protection and packaged according to the confirmed order quantity and shipping requirements. Individual packaging and carton requirements can be specified for project orders.
Q: What is the difference between MPO insertion loss and fiber attenuation?
A: Fiber attenuation describes optical loss within the fiber, normally expressed in dB/km, while MPO insertion loss describes the optical loss introduced by the terminated cable assembly. They are separate specifications and should not be used interchangeably when evaluating an optical link budget.
Q: What are the payment terms for Low Loss OS2 MPO Fiber Cable orders?
A: Standard payment terms are 30% T/T deposit before production and 70% balance before shipment. Other payment terms may be considered for qualified project or long-term accounts.
Q: What warranty is provided for Low Loss OS2 MPO Fiber Cable?
A: The Low Loss OS2 MPO Fiber Cable is covered by a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal storage, installation and operating conditions. Warranty coverage is subject to the confirmed product specification and applicable warranty terms.
