16F MPO APC Female to MPO APC Female Singe Mode LSZH/OFNP/OFNR OM2 Polarity Type B Yellow

Product Overview

This 16-fiber MPO to MPO single mode patch cable is designed to support high-density backbone and cross-connect applications in modern optical networks. Engineered with APC (Angled Physical Contact) polished connectors for superior return loss and Polarity Type B (Key-Up to Key-Up) for consistent signal mapping, it ensures reliable performance in mission-critical single mode optical links.
