High-density Fiber-optic Patch Cords
-
High-density Fiber-optic Patch Cords (HDP) have multiple fiber-optic strands terminated on one side in the same high-density connector pattern as the corresponding High-Density Fiber-optic Cannula Array. The other side of the patch cord has all fibers bundled together into a single connector or fanned out into separate FC connectors.
