Outside plant cable that arrives cut to length with the fibers already broken out and connectorized, so the crew pulls the cable and plugs in instead of splicing on site. Built to order from 12 to 144 fibers. Inside buildings and rack to rack, including Fiber Entrance Cabinet exits to the racks, PTP- plenum preterms (OFNP, 12 to 288 fibers, ribbon or loose tube) carry the run, single end terminated or with both ends unterminated.

PTO- / PTP-…Our 12-fiber OSP builds use Corning ALTOS gel-free, all-dielectric loose tube cable with Corning SMF-28 Ultra singlemode fiber, made for lashed aerial and duct runs. Plenum builds use Corning plenum ribbon or MIC loose tube cable with SMF-28 Ultra. Every connector is 100% tested for end-face cleanliness and geometry.
Breakout end.
PTP- plenum preterms carry the fiber from the entrance room to the panels on plenum-rated (OFNP) Corning cable with SMF-28 Ultra singlemode fiber: ribbon or loose tube, 12 to 288 fibers. Order them single end terminated, with a factory fan-out or breakout on End A and End B left for splicing, or with both ends unterminated. Typical runs are the 24 x 288F or 48 x 144F exit cables from the Fiber Entrance Cabinet and entrance-room runs to HD and WMHD panels.

MPO ends: add -[n]X[12|24]-[pinning]-[polarity] after the length, as on our MPO trunks: one MPO per 12 or 24 fibers (144F = 12X12 or 6X24); pinning F = unpinned (female), M = pinned (male), one letter per MPO end; polarity A, B (Universal) or C when both ends are MPO. No suffix = MPO-12, unpinned, Type B. PTP- example: PTP-048-L-LC-U-120F = 48F plenum loose tube, LC/UPC on End A, End B unterminated, 120 ft. Send the worksheet to sales for a part number and quote.
