Customized MTP-8 Trunk Cable, 8-288F, OS2
This 8-288 Fibers (Base-8) MTP® Elite Female/Male trunk assembly is built for backbone cabling between racks, rows and distribution frames. OS2 9/125μm fiber, Plenum (OFNP)/LSZH jacket and factory installed pulling protection make it a one-pull replacement for hours of field termination work.
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
Typical uses include backbone links between the main distribution area and equipment rows, vertical risers between floors, and inter-cabinet trunks in large data halls. 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. Pre-termination cuts installation time dramatically compared with field splicing.
Trunk Construction and Polarity
The trunk uses a double jacket design: a rugged outer sheath protects the whole bundle, while each breakout leg keeps its own jacket and numbering. Base-8 and Base-12 constructions are available depending on the fiber count. Polarity follows the Type shown in the table, and pulling eyes or mesh grips can be fitted for installation.
Ordering Information
To order, quote XXMTPSMF together with the length and quantity you need. Private labeling, custom packaging and project specific documentation are all handled in-house.
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.
How We Pack
Products are packed in anti-static or PE bags with connector dust caps fitted, then boxed in sturdy export cartons. Custom labels, barcodes and carton markings are available on request.
Quality and Testing
Our test routine covers insertion loss, return loss and ferrule end face inspection on every assembly. Because testing is done in-house, custom variants receive exactly the same verification as standard models.
