Cables

Fiber Optic Patch Cables

With a variety of multi-mode (OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM4+, OM5) and single mode options (OS1, OS2), all Approved patch cables are designed to optimize performance while remaining cost-effective. Rigorously tested for repeatability and loss, Approved cables utilize emerging technologies to satisfy smart data center demands up to 400GB and beyond.

Connector Options: ST, SC, FC, LC, MT-RJ, MU, mSFP, MTP12, MTP16, MTP24, MTP32, CS, SN in single-mode and multi-mode configurations.

Benefits: Lighter, thinner, higher speed with greater bandwidth than copper. Fire/gas resistant. Low insertion loss and attenuation. Excellent environmental adaptability.

MTP Breakout Cables

With options available in multi-mode, single-mode and multiple core sizes, Approved MTP breakout cables provide ideal connections for patch panels, data distribution and transceiver routing in the current 40GB and 400GB environments. Approved breakout assemblies provide up to 80% space savings while reducing costs by up to 25%.

Connector Options: MTP8, MTP12, MTP16, MTP20, MTP24, MTP32 breakout to single-fiber leads terminated with LC, MU, FC, mSFP, SC, ST, MTP, CS and SN connectors.

Benefits: Manufactured with MTP Elite fiber optic connectors for better reflectance/loss properties than MPO. Fully configurable for breakout length and stagger. Approved riser, plenum and LSZH cables are fire and gas resistant and are available Armored. Available in fiber jacket sizes from 1.60mm to 3.00mm.

Trunk Cables

With a variety of multi-mode and single-mode options, Approved’s multi-fiber, multiple connector cable solutions are designed for best-in-class data center installations. They provide an ideal solution when time is critical and when standardization is valued. Approved trunk cabling minimizes pathway congestion and enables the data center to scale quickly while accommodating technologies such as parallel optics which are used in 32/64/128GB fiber channel and 10/40/100/400GB ethernet.

Connector Options: ST, SC, FC, LC, MT-RJ, MU, mSFP, MTP8, MTP12, MTP16, MTP20, MTP24, MTP32, SN and CS connectors.

Benefits: Reduces on-site installation time by up to 75%. Configurations available from 2 to 144 strand fibers. Eliminates field termination while reducing pulling and cable dressing times. Pre-testing, factory termination and labeling minimize delays.
