MPO Patch Cord

MPO 12 Fiber OS2 Patch Cord

A 12-fiber OS2 MPO jumper for single-mode cassette and panel patching, built to a fixed polarity.

12 Fibers | OS2 Singlemode | APC | Female (F) | Yellow | Standard | 3.0 mm | 0.5–15 m

Product Overview

This 12-fiber OS2 MPO patch cord links cassettes, adapter panels and equipment ports inside high-density racks. Both ends use generic MPO APC female connectors on a yellow 3.0 mm jacket. Polarity is built as Type A, B or C at the factory and is not field-switchable.

Key Features

  • Generic MPO connectors on both ends, not US Conec MTP and not SENKO MPO
  • 12 fibers, OS2 9/125 μm single-mode, yellow jacket
  • APC female (unpinned) default gender
  • Factory-set polarity Method A, B or C; not field-switchable
  • Factory terminated and inspected before shipment
  • Standard lengths from 0.5 m (2 ft) to 15 m (49 ft)
  • Jacket options: OFNP, OFNR and LSZH
  • OEM labeling, serial numbers and test records available

Applications

Use this 12-fiber OS2 APC assembly for single-mode cassette and panel patching. An MPO-12 ferrule can also carry only 8 active fibers; this page is the full 12-fiber build. Selected PSM4 / DR4 links should use the 8-fiber OS2 page unless the module map is confirmed as 12-fiber.

Typical uses:

  • In-cabinet OS2 patching in MDA, HDA and EDA zones
  • Cassette-to-cassette and adapter-panel single-mode interconnect
  • 12-fiber structured single-mode channels through cassettes
  • High-density OS2 interconnect between adjacent racks

Why Source MPO/MTP Patch Cord from BWNFiber?

  • Factory pre-terminated and 100% inspected before shipment
  • Connector brand in the title matches the hardware in the BOM
  • Project configuration by jacket, length, labeling and packaging
  • Build-sheet review before production on OEM and project orders
  • Serialized IL / RL and polarity records available with the shipment
  • One factory path for catalog SKUs and private-label assemblies

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which options do I select on this page?

Select polarity Type A, B or C, jacket LSZH / OFNP / OFNR, and length from 0.5 m (2 ft) to 15 m (49 ft). Connector family, fiber count, fiber type, polish and gender stay fixed on this page.

How is this different from a US Conec MTP or SENKO MPO jumper?

This page uses generic MPO connectors. Use MTP, MTP PRO or SENKO names only on pages that install those brands.

What is included when I source this jumper from BWNFiber?

Each assembly is factory terminated and inspected. Project orders can include polarity notes, custom length, cable print, labeled packaging and IL / RL records.

Can I change polarity or pin gender after installation?

No. This is a standard generic MPO assembly. Polarity and gender are fixed when the cord is built. Order the correct Type A, B or C method before production.

Should I use this 12-fiber OS2 jumper for 400G DR4?

Only if the module map is confirmed. Many DR4 ports use 8 active fibers in an MPO-12 interface. This page is the full 12-fiber build. If the link uses 8 live fibers, order the 8-fiber OS2 MPO patch cord or state 8 active fibers in the order notes.
