MTP/MPO Shuffle Cable

Like MTP/MPO cable, MTP/MPO Shuffle cable is also used for connecting MTP
modules together as a permanent link, and it also be used with plug-and-play
modules or MTP/MPO connector panels to achieve multi-level connection of the
extension of the pre-terminated trunk cable by MTP/MPO panel. Normally, the
shuffle cables are used to interconnect cassettes, panels, or ruggedized
MTP/MPO fanouts, spanning MDA, HDA, and EDA zones. The difference is that
its optical fiber routing is formulated according to the requirements of the
optical connection at the construction site, which can realize special
optical fiber routing different from the conventional polarity, reducing
network installation or reconfiguration time and cost.
