MPO Assemblies
Image of MPO Fiber Cables Assemblies
MPO Assemblies are multi-fiber cables terminated into multi-fiber connectors. These cables can be used in indoor or outdoor applications. MPO terminations offer great plug-and-play solutions. Using MPO multi-fiber assemblies can eliminate termination and splicing in the field, which in turn reduces the expense of deployment. MPO assemblies offer a very high density solution that reduces your network’s overall footprint, which is especially beneficial in central office, headend and data center locations.
