Customized MPO-16 Harness, 16F, OS2
Our MPO Female/Male with Offset Key harness cable gives you a direct MTP to LC duplex connection without any intermediate hardware. 16 Fibers (Base-16) on OS2 9/125μm fiber with Plenum (OFNP)/LSZH jacket, with each LC leg labeled for fast port mapping.
Available lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft) and 30m (98ft). We can also produce any intermediate or longer length to order, with your choice of labeling and packaging.

Applications
Where a cassette would normally convert MPO to LC, this harness does the same job in one piece. The 16-fiber interface matches 400G SR8 optics, where all 16 fibers carry active transmit and receive lanes. Fewer mated pairs means better loss budget and fewer failure points.
LC Legs and Port Mapping
The harness replaces a cassette with a direct optical path from the MPO connector to each LC pair. This removes two mated connections from the channel, improving both loss budget and reliability. Custom leg lengths and labels are available on request.
Ordering Information
To order, quote 16FMPOXXSMF together with the length and quantity you need. Private labeling, custom packaging and project specific documentation are all handled in-house.
How We Pack
Every cable is protected with dust caps and individual packaging before being boxed for shipment. Batch test reports and your own part number labels can be included in each bag.
Quality and Testing
Every MPO/MTP assembly leaving our factory is 100% tested for insertion loss and return loss, with end face geometry checks on the multi-fiber ferrules. Controlled polishing keeps the loss budget stable across the whole batch, which matters when several mated pairs sit in one link.
Built to Your Spec
We have manufactured fiber optic assemblies since 1995. MPO and MTP cabling is one of our core lines: fiber counts from 8 to 144, single mode and multimode, UPC and APC polish, trunk, jumper, harness and breakout formats. Send your drawing and we turn it into a ready to install assembly.
