overview
Array Cords are the patch cords used in parallel optics systems. Since the switch gear utilizes MTPĀ®/MPO connectors, the array cord is a 12 or 24 fiber MTP-to-MTP cable. Since the switch port has a male (pinned) MPO connection, and the trunk cable connector is typically female (unpinned), the array cord may be unpinned on one end and pinned on the other.
