ARRANEX · PRECISION MULTI-FIBER CONNECTIVITY
Multi-fiber connectivity. Engineered for your system.
From MPO/MTP trunks and harnesses to rugged connections, test cables and in-system fiber routing. Define the right assembly around your interfaces, space and application.
- OEM / ODM engineering
- Test to approved specification
- Configured to the application
ENGINEERING PATH
Find your connection
You do not need a finished part number. Start from the interface, application or fiber count you already know.
CORE PRODUCT FAMILIES
Six product families. One connected system.
01
MPO / MTP fiber cable assemblies
Trunks, harnesses, polarity-managed assemblies and modular connectivity for data centers and high-density equipment.
02Custom high-density interconnects
Co-engineered assemblies for on-board optics, card-edge connectivity and complex fiber routing.
03Rugged Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies
Rugged MPO/MTP and LC fiber assemblies for outdoor and industrial equipment. Select sealed or armored constructions by mating interface, cable route and environmental validation requirements.
04Test and measurement cables
Reference assemblies configured for insertion-loss, OTDR and equipment loopback testing.
05Pre-terminated multi-fiber systems
Factory-terminated systems that reduce field work across cabinets, campuses and industrial networks.
06Fiber components and patching
Patch cords, pigtails, panels, splitters, attenuators and adapters.
APPLICATION SOLUTIONS
From inside the rack to the field
Define connectivity from equipment interfaces, routing, environment and service method.
01Data center 400G/800G migration
Plan the multi-fiber backbone from port maps, transceiver interfaces and polarity method rather than selecting cabling by data rate alone.
02Telecom, 5G and FTTAFor outdoor radio units, base stations and access networks, optical performance must be validated together with sealing, installation and maintenance method.
03Industrial automation networksIndustrial fiber links should be defined around equipment space, vibration, contamination and maintenance frequency—not borrowed directly from data-hall patching.
04Rail and outdoor networksOptical links across trackside, station and outdoor equipment need defined panel mounting, sealing state, cable routing and field replacement procedures.
05OEM equipment and on-board opticsCo-design the optical path from engine and card edge to the chassis port, controlling bend routing, airflow, port mapping and assembly tolerances.
OEM / ODM ENGINEERING
Turn a complex interface into a repeatable product.
Co-define port maps, mechanics, materials, labeling and test methods; release the volume revision after sample and mating validation.
- 01Requirements and DFM review
- 02Sample and mating validation
- 03Approved drawing and specification release
- 04Volume test and traceability
QUALITY & VALIDATION
Clear specifications. Defined acceptance.
One approved definition
Record interfaces, materials, dimensions and port maps in the approved documents.
Revision traceability
Samples, test records and volume builds follow the same change boundary.
DESIGN REVIEW EXAMPLE
In harsh environments, an IP rating is only one part of the design.
Also define mating state, panel cutout, locking, cable sealing, unmated protection and field-replacement space.

Practical answers before you specify
GUIDE 01
View all technical resourcesTesting Bend-Insensitive Multimode Fiber: Encircled Flux and Reference Cords
For bend-insensitive multimode fiber loss tests, confirm the launch condition of the tester and reference-cord combination, then agree wavelengths, reference method, end-connection boundaries and acceptance limits. Encircled flux describes the launch distribution; it is not a link-loss pass limit.
GUIDE 02OTDR Launch and Receive Fiber Compensation: Defining the Test Span
Launch and receive fiber compensation identifies the start and end of the link under test on an OTDR trace. Check event markers against the physical setup and confirm whether both end-connector losses count toward total loss and pass/fail under the instrument and acceptance procedure.
GUIDE 03Variable Optical Attenuator Testing: Attenuation Setting vs Receiver Power
A VOA adjusts optical path loss, but its dB setting is not the receiver input in dBm. Check wavelength, operating mode, feedback reference plane and downstream loss, then verify actual input with an appropriate power meter at the device plane.
GUIDE 04OLTS Testing CS, SN and MDC Fiber Links: Test Reference Cord Guide
Match the tester ports, both link interfaces and test cords first, then choose a reference method under the specific instrument and acceptance procedure. One- and multi-jumper references can measure different connection boundaries; document which end connections are included.
