Outline of 16F Cabling System
In view of the current situation of data centers, OECE launched its solution "High Density Fiber Cabling System based on the 16F MPO Connector and the CS connector ".

This solution is simple and easy to manage. While meeting the existing requirements of 40G/100G, it also provides a solid solution for the upcoming deployment of 400G Ethernet.

It will reduce customers' repeated investment in fiber resources and realize customers' maximum cost control advantages.
Advantages

● Low insertion loss and high return loss , meeting the standards of 400G fiber transmission.


● The 16-core MPO fiber optic connector which is compliant with OSFP and QSFP-DD standards, compatible with existing 40G, 100G fiber transmission through the fanout cable assembly and Cassette.


● The trunk cable is based on 16F fiber which reduces the complexity of installation and deployment; and achieving 100% utilization of the fiber cable.


● All of products meet the relevant standards of environmental policies, environmental protection and flame retardant.


Compared with the cabling system of 8F ,12F and 24F, the 16F cabling system can fully support the coming 400G fiber transmission,good port mapping and 100% fiber utilization.
