ASCEND® MPO trunk assemblies provide a high-performance plug-and-play solution for data center and enterprise applications where space is limited. The small-diameter MicroCore® provides higher tolerance to bends during and after installation, which requires less space in cable trays, raceways, ducts and conduits. This also enables more efficient airflow in congested, high density cabling applications.
