MPO/MTP® Hydra cable assemblies is deployed inside plug and play cassette modules. It is used for multi-fiber to single-fiber splitting out interconnects. This solution is a 12-colored 0.9mm cable utilizing an MPO/MTP® connector on one end and generic connectors (such as LC, SC, FC, etc.) on the other end. They are available for purchase as a bundle with plug and play modules, MPO/MTP® Adapter Plates, and other solutions. It is fully configurable, available in 8/12/16/24 fibers versions as well as Multi-mode (Standard 50/125, 62.5/125, BI 10Gig 50/125) and Single-mode fiber types. T&S offers premium Hydra cables, ensuring superior performance and reliability for all your advanced connectivity needs.
