16F AR Coated MPO MTP Trunk Cable

• The 16F AR-Coated MPO MTP Trunk Cable is developed for high-density parallel optical testing and master reference applications. Its 16-fiber configuration supports multi-channel connectivity for next-generation optical module validation, production testing, and master reference links. The non-contact mating structure reduces direct fiber-to-fiber contact and end-face wear during repeated mating, helping protect valuable optical modules and other devices under test while extending the service life of the reference cable.

• The end-face structure features a recessed 16-fiber array positioned slightly below the ferrule surface. During mating, the guide pins align the two MPO/MTP® ferrules while the opposing fiber tips remain separated by a controlled air gap. The AR coating applied to the recessed fiber end-faces helps reduce reflection at the fiber-air interfaces, allowing the non-contact structure to combine reduced mechanical wear with more consistent optical performance.

• Fully interoperable with standard 16F MPO/MTP® adapters, transceivers, and test equipment, the cable can be integrated into existing test platforms without hardware modification. Typical applications include 800G and 1.6T optical module validation, master reference connections, production test systems, optical system calibration, and high-density test-link optimization. MNC-MNC double-coated and MNC-MPO single-coated configurations are available to accommodate different reference interfaces and test architectures.
