Cable Assemblies Technical Information

POLARITY
To ensure fiber systems functionality, each fiber port must have a transmitter at one end, and a receiver at the other end.
The proper match of the transmiting signal (Tx) to the receiving end (Rx) at both ends of the fiber optic link is referred to as POLARITY.
TIA-568 standard provides three different polarity methods for MPO/MTP® Trunk Cable Method A, B and C.
Type A:
The MPO/MTP® connector key are pointing down at one
end of cable and up at other end. The fibers are aligned in
same position at both end of the cable. It allows the fiber
located in Position 1 at one end arrives at Position 1 at A: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
the other end.
B: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Type B:
The MPO/MTP® connector key are pointing up on both
ends of cable. The fiber positions are reversed at each
end, which allows the fiber located in Position 1 at one
end arrives to Position 12 at the opposing end and so on. A: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
B: 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Type C:
The MPO/MTP® connector key are pointing up at one
end and down at the other end similar to Type A. However,
the fibers are flipped in a pair so the fiber in Position 1
arrives to Position 2 at the other end and so on. A: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
B: 2 1 4 3 6 5 8 7 10 9 12 11

Connectivity Methods
Method A
Method A adopted “Key up to Key down” adapters mated
with connectors. According Diagram A, the purple dotted
line represented the optical path in fiber 1 pass through
the links between cassettes and trunk cable assembly. This
configuration requires a flipped patchcord at the beginning or
end of the link to ensure the proper operation of transceiver. It
is the simplest method for singlemode and multimode channels
to extend network in the field of deployment.
Method B
Method B adopt straight patch cords at the beginning and end
of circuit with mating “Key up and Key up” adapters between
cassettes and trunk cable assembly. The fiber in Position 1
arrives to Position 12 and so on. One of the cassettes requires
to reverse configuration to allow fiber in Position 1 arrives to
Position 12 at the end of link for operating transceiver properly.
It only supports multimode channels with standards compliant
connector endfaces, and requires advanced planning and
preparation to manage the polarity of the links by labelling two
different cassettes before deployment.
Method C
Method C utilizes “Key up to Key down” adapters with same
configurations of cassettes for Method A and two straight
patch cords at the beginning and end of the link. The difference
between Method C and Method A is the patch cords do not
require to flip for proper orientation of transceiver but the fibers
in trunk cable assembly flipped in a pair so the fiber in Position 1
arrives to Position 2 at the other end and so on.
