To keep up with the development, migration to 40/100GbE has become the trend. To facilitate smooth migration to 100G network, 24-fiber MTP/MPO cable is recommended. However, the polarity maintenance of base-24 MTP/MPO cabling is complicated.
Currently, there is no standard in the industry to define the types of 24-fiber MTP/MPO cables. HTF recommends the Type A (key-up to key-up) MTP/MPO trunk cable with our Type A and Type AF cassette, so there is no need for A-to-A patch cable any more. The connectivity method is illustrated in the following picture.
