Initially designed to replace
thick copper parallel cables
used under floors of
computer rooms in large
mainframe centers,
Tyco Electronics’ MPO
Cabling System also makes
perfect sense for campus
and premise type Local
Area Networks. It provides
unparalleled ease and flexi-
bility in cabling applications
such as backbone and hori-
zontal distribution to the
desktop.
The MPO System uses the
same simple concepts
found in most structured
networks following TIA/EIA
568A guidelines. The
difference is that with MPO
Systems the cables come
pre-terminated and tested,
with a pulling sock over
each end. Just pull through
the conduit, remove the
netting, and plug it in —
that’s it.
MPO trunk cables run
through the building verti-
cally between floors, and
horizontally through walls,
ceilings, and under floors to
distribution enclosures and
consolidation points strate-
gically located within the
building. Mini-trunks and
fanout assemblies connect
the consolidation point to
the workstation outlets.
Jumper cables connect the
outlet to the workstation,
and are also used for cross-
connecting in the telecom-
munications closet.
Installation is easier and
faster with cables selected
specifically for each site.
MPO cabling is a high
performance option for
AMP NETCONNECT zone
cabling, and complements
the system as a furniture
cabling solution. MPO
cables can reside parallel to
existing UTP without fear of
crosstalk.
Mini-trunk feeder cables
and fan-out cable assem-
blies are an ideal solution
for the open office environ-
ment. Their small size
allows easy storage in
modular office panels and
raceways. When it’s time
to move add or change the
zone, the mini-trunks are
simply unplugged from
nearby zone enclosures and
moved with the furniture.
Data outage is contained to
the zone under construction.
After the zone is reconfig-
ured, just plug the MPO
connectors back in to the
network, and your worksta-
tions are up and running.
There’s no longer a need to
bring in a network staff to
shut down the entire system
to re-terminate and test the
cabling for moves, adds,
and changes. Moves can
usually be done by the
end-user’s facilities crew or
someone with minimal net-
work experience. At last,
“modular” is living up to its
promise. You can take an
office apart, move it, and
put it back together —
quick and simple!

Pairs Flipped Versus
Straight Through Fiber
Path Configuration
Unlike the mainframe
application counterparts,
Tyco Electronics’ MPO
trunks for Premise applica-
tions typically do not require
“pair flipping”.
Pair Flipping, or “AB/BA”
transmit/receive configura-
tion is a sequential channel
cross-over scheme used for
IBM Enterprise Systems
Connectivity (ESCON)
architecture. MPO premise
trunk fiber pairs are config-
ured as “AB/AB”. For exam-
ple — blue fiber (1) travels
straight through the cable
and exits on the opposite
end in the same position (1),
as illustrated (right). This
fiber path configuration is
known as “straight through”.

Tyco Electronics’ MPO
modular cabling system
is structured to provide
unparalleled ease and flexi-
bility in the cabling of IBM
Enterprise Systems
Connection architecture
(ESCON).
MPO provides every thing
you need to cable your data
center:
■assorted lengths of MPO
connectorized 36 and
72-fiber trunks
■8 or 12-fiber mini-trunks
■MPO to ESCON direct
attach harnesses
■pre-loaded distribution
enclosures
■MPO coupler bushing
mounting brackets
■cable clamps
■ESCON jumper cables
Select what you need to
connect your system and
plug it in. Installation is
faster and easier with
cables selected specifically
for the hardware layout in
your data center.
MPO trunk cables deployed
around the periphery or
down the center of the
computer room through
under-floor conveyance
systems provide plug-and-
go connectivity to pre-
loaded MPO distribution
enclosures mounted in
main and zone cabinets
throughout the data center.
Multiple layers of MPO
trunks and distribution
hardware allow the data
center to be divided into
zones. Zoning further
increases simplicity and
flexibility of connections
between equipment.
MPO mini-trunks, ESCON
jumper cables and har-
nesses plugged into the
distribution panels provide
final connections to IBM
Enterprise Systems proces-
sors, ESCON directors, and
I/O devices.
Tyco Electronics’ MPO
System eliminates thick,
inflexible point-to-point
copper cables, or tangled
bundles of ESCON jumpers
running under computer
room floors.
Once installed, the MPO
System simplifies the
hassles associated with
migration. Because fiber
transmissions are electri-
cally silent, systems can be
upgraded without planned
outages. Re-configuring
and rearranging equipment
is six times faster, since only
one connector is plugged
in. It is also as simple as
unplugging the trunk from
the ESCON harness,
leaving the harness to be
removed with the equip-
ment. Each MPO cable is
removable and reusable.
The MPO System takes the
superior performance of
ESCON fiber optic technol-
ogy one step further — by
simplifying installation and
migration, while opening up
crowded space under com-
puter room floors, improving
air flow and breathing new
life into data centers.
