Features and Benefits

As bandwidth requirements increase, data centers need to accommodate more data transmission capability into less space. Easily installed and maintained cable and connectivity solutions that reduce system downtime, assembly errors and maintenance costs are necessary to meeting AI-driven demands.

Using compact trunk cable designs to increase capacity helps simplify system upgrades, reduce design work and streamline installation. This enables data centers to limit system downtime and maintenance time, thereby reducing costs.

OptoTrunk Cables combine multiple cables into one, using high-density connectors like 144F Expanded Beam Optical (EBO) and LC cartridges to enable efficient, space-saving connectivity. 

Streamlined high-capacity data center connectivity

Data centers face increasing demands for bandwidth and signal integrity. OptoTrunk Cables consolidate multiple cables into one, simplifying capacity upgrades, easing design constraints, and improving insertion loss and return loss performance by reducing the need for interconnects.

Flexibility to support diverse design requirements

OptoTrunk Cables come in lengths from 10.0 to 100.0m or more. They are available with a variety of optical connectors including cross-connector solutions, and with plenum-rated jacketing to simplify system design work.

144F OptoTrunk Cable

Simplified installation and maintenance

Accelerating assembly and maintenance operations reduces downtime and saves costs. OptoTrunk Cables can be pre-terminated, allowing quick and trouble-free installation in the field.

72F OptoTrunk Cables

Streamlines cable management and system architecture
Trunk cables consolidate multiple individual cables with numerous connectors and field terminations into a single cable, easing design challenges for high-density connectivity while improving insertion loss and return loss performance.

Accelerates installation and maintenance operations
Trunk cables are available pre-terminated, permitting quick and trouble-free installation in the field. Available pulling eyes allow easy installation through compact cable troughs overhead or beneath the floor.

Simplifies data center upgrades
Offering 72-fiber and 144-fiber options helps data centers upgrade capacity more quickly and easily.

Enables optical connectivity in a wide range of environments
The plenum-rated (optical fiber non-conductive plenum, or OFNP) cables feature low-smoke and low-flame characteristics and are temperature-tolerant, making them ideal for use in high-heat environments or plenum installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should someone purchase OptoTrunk Cables?
OptoTrunk Cables can easily accommodate higher bandwidth needs, helping improve scalability in data centers.

Where are common applications of OptoTrunk Cables?
OptoTrunk Cables are primarily used in data centers, telecommunications networks, internet backbone installations, enterprise networks, broadcasting, government and military applications.

Why use OptoTrunk Cables instead of multiple fiber assemblies?
OptoTrunk Cables offer simplified installation by consolidating multiple fiber strands into a single cable, providing a far more cost-effective solution.

Is there a performance bonus in using fiber optic trunk cables instead of fiber assemblies?
Fiber optic trunk cables are available pre-terminated and tested to ensure high performance and reliability. This reduces the likelihood of performance issues related to improper termination or installation errors.
