MPO Trunk Cable

MPO 12 Fiber OM4 Type B Trunk Cable

The BWNFiber 12-fiber MPO OM4 trunk cable terminates one MPO-12 PC female connector on each end of a 3.0 mm violet jacket, built as Type B. It is the workhorse Base-12 trunk for OM4 plants that have standardized on Type B parallel-optics channels.

BWN-TK-M12-OM4-VIO-B-{JKT}-{LEN} + configuration options

Product Overview

The BWNFiber 12-fiber MPO OM4 trunk cable terminates one MPO-12 PC female connector on each end of a 3.0 mm violet jacket, built as Type B. It is the workhorse Base-12 trunk for OM4 plants that have standardized on Type B parallel-optics channels.

Polarity is fixed at Type B in this official build, which keeps BOMs unambiguous on projects where every cassette and panel already follows the Type B method. If your plant runs Type A or Type C, request that build on the drawing instead of forcing this SKU. Violet and Erika Violet (magenta) describe the same OM4 jacket family here; the 8-fiber OM4 trunk is a separate page. Overall length runs 5-100 m.

Key Features

  • One MPO-12/PC female connector on each end
  • 12 live fibers, OM4 50/125 μm multimode
  • Type B polarity fixed in the official build — no BOM ambiguity
  • 3.0 mm round violet jacket (Erika Violet / magenta equivalent)
  • 5-100 m standard length set, custom on request
  • LSZH, OFNP and OFNR jacket options
  • 100% factory-terminated and optically tested before shipment

Final insertion loss and return loss limits follow the BWNFiber test specification for the selected loss grade. Test method reference: IEC 61300-3-4.

Selection Guidance

  • Order this page when the plant runs the Type B method end to end. Type A and Type C are different builds — request them on the drawing.
  • Female (unpinned) ends mate with pinned cassette and panel ports; male (pinned) builds are quoted on request.
  • Violet, Erika Violet and magenta identify the same OM4 jacket family on this page; the color does not change the fiber grade.
  • For Base-8 SR4-class channels, see the 8-fiber OM4 trunk (Type B confirmed) instead of this 12-fiber build.
  • Jacket by space: OFNP for plenum, OFNR for riser shafts, LSZH for enclosed or public areas.

Applications

  • Type B parallel-optics trunks and cassette interconnect inside the hall
  • Base-12 OM4 structured cabling on the Type B method
  • Panel-to-panel backbone links in high-density OM4 plants
  • Pre-terminated replacements for field-polished OM4 trunks

Order Guide

Polarity is already fixed as Type B in this build — choose overall length and jacket. If the site plan calls for Type A or Type C, request that build on the drawing.

Why Source from BWNFiber

BWNFiber factory-terminates and inspects every MPO end before shipment, records polarity per order, and can attach IL/RL test reports for project handover. Catalog jackets cover LSZH, OFNP and OFNR; PVC, TPU and PE are quoted on project orders, together with OEM printing and labeling. A fixed Type B official name keeps purchasing repeat-simple on standardized plants, and polarity records still travel with each order. Send the interface, fiber type, jacket and overall length, and BWNFiber returns a build sheet before production.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order Type A or Type C on this page?

This official build is Type B. Type A and Type C 12F OM4 trunks are different builds — state the method on the drawing and BWNFiber will quote them.

Is Erika Violet a different product?

No. Violet, Erika Violet and magenta describe the same OM4 jacket color family on this page. The 8-fiber Erika Violet trunk, however, is a separate SKU with 8 live fibers.

Is this an SR4 cable?

No. Twelve live fibers are not the 8-fiber SR4 map. For Base-8 channels, see the 8-fiber OM4 trunk.

Which ports does a female MPO mate with?

Female (unpinned) MPO ends mate with pinned ports, such as cassette and panel rear interfaces. Transceivers also present pinned MPO interfaces.

What lengths are listed?

5 m to 100 m in the standard set, plus custom lengths quoted on the drawing.
