Customized MTP-8 Trunk Cable, 8-288F, OS2
Our 8-288 Fibers (Base-8) MTP® Elite Female/Male trunk is the fast way to move many fibers between two points. OS2 9/125μm performance, Plenum (OFNP)/LSZH jacket, and controlled breakout geometry mean predictable loss and tidy routing in the main distribution area.
Available lengths are 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
Backbone cabling is where mistakes cost the most, so this trunk is built and verified entirely in the factory. The 8-fiber version matches 400G and 800G parallel interfaces that run on 4 or 8 lanes, such as QSFP112, OSFP and twin-port OSFP connections. It arrives with test results, labeled legs and the correct polarity for your panel layout.
Trunk Construction and Polarity
Inside the outer jacket, the fibers are grouped into sub-units that fan out to individually labeled connectors. This protects the fibers during pulling and keeps the breakout area compact at the panel. Type A, B and C polarity and male or female connectors are built to your panel schedule.
Ordering Information
Please reference XXMTPSMF in your enquiry. Our sales team can also advise on polarity, gender and jacket choices if your project documentation is not final yet.
Built to Your Spec
Our engineering team handles custom MPO/MTP assemblies daily. If the standard configuration does not match your link design, send us the requirement and we will build exactly what your network needs at factory-direct cost.
Quality and Testing
We do not ship untested product. Each unit is measured on calibrated equipment for optical performance and visually inspected for end face quality before packing. Batch traceability is maintained so any field issue can be tracked back to production.
How We Pack
Each assembly is coiled, capped and sealed in an individual bag, then packed into foam lined export cartons. Test reports can be attached per unit or per batch, and carton marks follow your shipping instructions.
