Trunk Fiber Cable
Trunk Fiber Cable
C-LIGHT Trunk Fiber Cable is a high-capacity backbone optical cable designed for long-distance, high-bandwidth data transmission, typically containing multiple fiber cores (e.g., 144 or 288 fibers) to support high-speed network backbone connections. Key features include low attenuation, high tensile strength, weather-resistant jackets (e.g., PE or LSZH), and armored structures, suitable for outdoor direct burial, aerial, or conduit installations. Widely used in data center interconnects, telecom backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and enterprise campus networks, it ensures high reliability, scalability, and future-proof upgradability, serving as a core component in building efficient, large-capacity communication infrastructure.

Trunk Fiber Cable Overview

C-LIGHT Trunk Fiber Cable is a high-density fiber cabling solution designed to organize and connect large numbers of optical fibers within data centers, telecommunications facilities, enterprise networks, and backbone infrastructure. By integrating multiple optical fibers into a structured trunk assembly, it simplifies high-count fiber deployment while maintaining an organized and scalable cabling architecture.

The product family includes MPO trunk cables as well as LC, SC, and FC trunk configurations. Both single-mode and multimode fiber options are available, allowing the cable assembly to be selected according to transmission requirements and network architecture.

MPO trunk configurations are available with fiber counts including 72 fibers, 96 fibers, and 144 fibers. The multi-fiber construction is particularly suitable for high-density environments where a large number of individual fiber connections need to be installed within a limited cable-management space.

C-LIGHT Trunk Fiber Cable assemblies are factory-terminated and can be configured with different connector types, fiber modes, breakout structures, cable lengths, and connector polishing specifications to meet different structured cabling requirements.

Trunk Fiber Cable Key Features

High Fiber Count

Multi-fiber trunk assemblies support high-density connections while reducing the amount of individual fiber cabling required during installation.

MPO High-Density Connectivity

MPO configurations provide a compact multi-fiber interface for structured cabling systems and high-density optical network environments.
