SN-MT Patchcord

The SN-MT patchcord provides quick connection specifically for multifiber cable, up to 16 fibers. The SN®-MT is a next generation multifiber connector available in 8 and 16 fibers in one row. It allows 2.7x increase density compared to MTP/MPO-16 fibers. The new multifiber SN®-MT connector is the same footprint as duplex SN connector. Available SN-MT trunk cables or fan-out from SN®-MT to single fibers connectors: FC, LC, SC, etc.
- Carries a maximum of 16-fiber in a row
- Same connector footprint as SN duplex
- Carries many features from the SN Duplex
- The industry’s highest density connector
- Fiber density per 1RU is improved by 2.7x over MPO-16F & 1.3x over MPO-32F
- Insertion loss targeted 0.35 dB max for SM
