Fibre optic cable ACT DC5202 10 m 2x MPO Violet

The ACT DC5202 is a 10 m OM4 fibre optic trunk cable with dual 2x MPO (MTP-compatible) connectors and a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for data centers and server rooms, this ultra-compact violet cable supports high-density installations and can be used in both point-to-point and structured cabling environments. Its small overall diameter and compact fanouts enable efficient use of cable ducts and 19" racks while maintaining reliable connectivity for switches, servers and storage systems.

Advantages

This ACT MTP/MPO trunk cable offers a reduced outer diameter (approximately 6.8 mm) that allows up to 50% more cables in the same fiber raceway or cable duct compared with larger designs. Compact 2 mm fanout assemblies for each 12 fibers keep connections near equipment and patch panels space-efficient while providing adequate strain relief. The preterminated MPO connectors enable fast deployment and simplified moves, adds and changes in the data center.

Suitable for

• High-density patching in data centers and server rooms
• Point-to-point links between network devices
• Structured (fixed) cabling with panels and patching
• Connections to switches, servers and storage arrays

How to use

Install the ACT DC5202 trunk cable by routing it through the cable duct or rack space to the required equipment positions. If used in structured cabling, terminate the MPO ends into compatible MPO panels or adapters; for point-to-point setups, plug the MPO connectors directly into MPO-capable transceivers or devices. Use the compact fanouts to split into standard patchcords or to connect to ports on patch panels, ensuring secure strain relief at the transition points and avoiding sharp bends along the cable path.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, maintain proper bend radius and avoid tight loops; use MPO-compatible cleaning tools before mating connectors and follow data center cable management practices to preserve signal integrity and allow future scalability.
