MPO 24 Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable

BWN-TK-M24-OM5-LM-{POL}-{JKT}-{LEN} + configuration options

Product Overview

The BWNFiber 24-fiber MPO OM5 trunk cable terminates a single MPO-24 PC female connector on each end of a lime-green jacket. It is the Base-24 wideband multimode backbone for cassette and panel plants that standardize on the 24-fiber interface.

This is a true single-ferrule MPO-24 assembly — not a 2×12 bundle and not an 8-fiber SR4 jumper. OM5 wideband fiber keeps the plant ready for SWDM-based optics, but the jacket color alone does not make a link SWDM: the transceivers decide that. Overall length runs 5-100 m with Type A, Type B or Type C polarity built to the site drawing.

Key Features

• One MPO-24/PC female connector on each end — single 24-fiber ferrule
• 24 live fibers, OM5 50/125 μm wideband multimode
• Lime green jacket per OM5 identification practice
• Type A, Type B or Type C polarity built to the site drawing
• Base-24 structured cabling interface, not a 2×12 bundle
• LSZH, OFNP and OFNR jacket options
• 100% factory-terminated and optically tested before shipment

Technical Specifications

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

• Polarity is not field-switchable. Choose Type A, Type B or Type C from the site drawing before ordering.
• Female (unpinned) ends mate with pinned cassette and panel ports; male (pinned) builds are quoted on request.
• Choose this page when the plant is Base-24. If your cassettes take MPO-12 inputs, the 12-fiber OM5 trunk is the matching build.
• OM5 supports SWDM ecosystems, but SWDM operation depends on the optics, not the jacket color.
• Jacket by space: OFNP for plenum, OFNR for riser shafts, LSZH for enclosed or public areas.

Applications

• Base-24 OM5 structured cabling backbones
• Wideband multimode high-count interconnect between cassettes or panels
• Plants planning SWDM-capable multimode infrastructure
• High-density 24-fiber permanent links on single MPO-24 ports

Order Guide

This SKU is built to the ordered polarity and is not polarity-switchable in the field. Select the polarity from the site drawing, then overall length and jacket.

Standard lengths: 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 m, in LSZH, OFNP or OFNR. Custom lengths between or beyond these steps, and pulling eyes, are quoted 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. Single-ferrule MPO-24 builds are kept separate from 2×12 bundled 24-fiber assemblies in naming and test records, so the received product matches the drawing. Send the interface, fiber type, polarity, jacket and overall length, and BWNFiber returns a build sheet before production.
