CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
MPO-36 Base-12 Trunk Cable Selection Notes
Use this MPO-36 Base-12 trunk cable when a backbone route needs three 12-fiber groups, clear polarity control, and a factory-tested assembly for high-density fiber panels or optical interconnects.
- Match the 36-fiber layout to the cassette, panel or transceiver lane plan before ordering.
- Choose OS2 for single-mode backbone links, or OM3/OM4/OM5 for multimode data center routes.
- Confirm Type A, Type B or Type C polarity with the full channel, including patch cords and modules.
- Specify low-loss MPO connectors, jacket rating, labels, pulling-eye needs and test reports for project handoff.

MPO-36 Base-12 Trunk Cable Selection Notes FAQ
What is an MPO-36 Base-12 trunk cable?
It is a 36-fiber pre-terminated MPO trunk cable arranged around 12-fiber groups for high-density backbone cabling and panel-to-panel routes.
When should I choose 36 fibers instead of 32 fibers?
Choose 36 fibers when the design is based on Base-12 cassette or trunk architecture. Choose 32 fibers when the channel is built around Base-8 or MPO-16 lane groups.
Can the MPO-36 trunk cable use OS2, OM3, OM4 or OM5 fiber?
Yes. OS2 is used for single-mode links, while OM3, OM4 and OM5 are used for multimode data center routes with different reach and bandwidth requirements.
Which polarity should be ordered for an MPO-36 trunk?
The polarity should match the full channel. Confirm Type A, Type B or Type C against the cassette, patch cord and transceiver lane mapping before production.
What information is needed for a custom quote?
Send fiber type, length, connector gender, polish, polarity, jacket, pulling-eye requirement, label format, quantity and required insertion-loss or end-face reports.
