New MTP connector kit designed for round cable

July 11, 2006 Hickory, NC -- US Conec Ltd. announces the immediate availability of a new MTP connector line of components that are compatible with round, stranded cable styles.

Using the new MTP (MPO-style) connector with round cable has many benefits when compared to rectangular ribbon cable terminations, but does not sacrifice the high density such technology provides, US Conec says. These benefits include eliminating preferential bends, better aramid yarn distribution during assembly, easier routing during long cable length installation, and generally lower cable cost. The new connector design has been fully qualified for multimode and singlemode applications according to standard industry requirements.
